  • I don't wanna fight
    My money's in a bag in the back for you
    The future's overdue
    Yeah, I know that
    Turn the engine on
    Our song blaring out a dead radio
    Singing "I need to know"
    No turning back

    I've been thinkin', babe, maybe you're right
    When you said the pain weathers in time
    We're just waitin' for a change to follow
    We don't always get all that we want
    Redefine my pain to something more
    And we shall overcome as we've done before

    Scrolling through a life I barely recognised from a hotel room
    Took in the lonely view
    Got unattached (hey)
    Bringer of the calm
    Your arms wrapped around when the fever took
    Thought I was gone for good
    You brought me back (back, back)

    I've been thinkin', babe, maybe you're right
    When you said the pain weathers in time
    We're just waitin' for a change to follow
    We don't always get all that we want
    Redefine the pain to something more
    And we shall overcome as we've done before (oh)

    It's when we lean in, into the moment
    It's when we're reachin' through the divide
    It's when we begin feelin' the open
    It's when the stranger's fallen behind
    When we shake off the darkness and harness the light

    I've been thinkin' babe, maybe you're right
    When you said the pain weathers in time
    We're just waitin' for a change to follow
    We don't always get all that we want
    Redefine the pain to something more
    And we shall overcome as we've done before
    And we shall overcome as we've done before
    And we shall overcome as we've done before Writer/s: CONOR MASON, DOMINIC CRAIK, JOSEPH LANGRIDGE-BROWN
