[Verse]
Last time that I saw you
You said for me to call you
I couldn't bear it one last time
If I only knew it was the last time I'd get through
I would make you mine

[Verse]
Now we're wrestling with the future
The uncertain, unfamiliar
No guarantees, no truth or lie
So cast the dice and read the cards
I'm ready to play my part
I'll sing to you a lullaby

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cos I know there's things
We cannot change
I was really hoping that you'd want to stay
And I know there's things
I can't explain
Are you holding on
To something that is gone?

[Chorus]
I'm looking for contact
Hold out your hands
I'm looking for contact
You know where I stand
I'm looking for contact
Show me you can
I'm looking for contact
Hold out your hands
I'm looking for contact
[Verse]
A city once let loose
Nothing much left here to do
Now hanging by a thread
Silhouettes of empty streets
The arcade where we used to meet
And the picture house now boarded up

[Verse]
Oh the biting cold that fills our lungs
The only thing that keeps us young
One foot in front of the next
Try to see things as they really are
We're not too lost, we're not so far
To getting back to how it was

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cos I know there's things
We cannot change
I was really hoping that you'd want to stay
And I know there's things
I can't explain
Are you holding on
To something that is gone?

[Chorus]
I'm looking for contact
Hold out your hands
I'm looking for contact
You know where I stand
I'm looking for contact
Show me you can
I'm looking for contact
Hold out your hands
I'm looking for contact
