lyrics

Don't stop moving cause if you stop moving
You might have time to think
And if you have time to think you might start to question
All the things you do to fill your time

We meet at the end of the working day
In a bar that's far too self aware
Can't you see the absurdity
Of two kids like us playing like we're grown up

Make it up as we go along
Tell yourself you're doing everything you ought to do
Try a different outfit on
Act like you know just what you're talking about

Why do we do this to ourselves, get up when we're sleeping
Smile without joy, say things we don't believe in
You echo their words with drunk conviction
But your eyes tell me something different

And on the night bus back the city changed appearance
It felt like something else could happen
What if we stay on past our stop, go in the opposite direction
And walk and walk and walk until it's light?

Make it up as we go along
Tell yourself you're doing everything you ought to do
Try a different outfit on
Cause no one really knows what they're on about
