[Intro: Rob Swire]
Hold your colours against the wall
With me
(She looked into your eyes and saw what lay beneath)
(Don't try to save yourself, the circle is complete)

[Verse 1: Rob Swire]
She hadn't always been so cold
Heroes killed her self-control
Being able to breathe became a luxury
She's soaking through

[Pre-Chorus: Rob Swire]
Hold your colours against the wall
When they take everything away
Hold your colours against the wall
With me

[Chorus: Rob Swire]
Don't leave it to wait
Time is slipping away
No time to claim damages
We're shouting through space

[Post-Chorus: Rob Swire]
(She looked into your eyes and saw what lay beneath)
(Don't try to save yourself, the circle is complete)
[Verse 2: Rob Swire]
You didn't need to go to waste
But in a way the change was due
The ship has been destroyed
This is just the water soaking through

[Pre-Chorus: Rob Swire]
Hold your colours against the wall
When they take everything away
Hold your colours against the wall
With me

[Chorus: Rob Swire]
Don't leave it to waste
Time is slipping away
No time to claim damages
We're shot into space
