[Verse 1]
Distant flickerings, greener scenery
This weather's bringing it all back again (Back again)
Great adventures (Yeah), faces in condensation
I'm going outside to take it all in

[Chorus]
You say too late to start
Got your heart in a headlock
I don't believe any of it
You say too late to start
With your heart in a headlock (Oh, yeah)
You know you're better than this

[Post-Chorus]
This time, got your heart in a headlock
Heart in a headlock
This time, got your heart

[Verse 2]
Wear a different pair, do something out of step
Throw a stranger an unexpected smile (Smile)
With big intention, still posted at your station (Station)
Always on about the day it should have flied

[Chorus]
You say too late to start
Got your heart in a headlock
I don't believe any of it
You say too late to start
With your heart in a headlock
You know you're better than this
[Bridge]
Afraid to start
Got your heart in a headlock
I don't believe any of it
You say too late to start
With your heart in a headlock
You know you're better than this

[Outro]
Heart in a headlock
