Verse 1

Its all there underneath

everything we love and need

you and I

Look around you will see

broken minds and shattered dreams

wasted time

But I don't mind losing sleep

squeezing through the cracks between

day and night

Chorus

Its such a longshot

everything that we've got

just living on this rock

surrounded by the sea

With our shoes off

balancing on rooftops

you put your faith in preachers

I put my faith in me

Verse 2

Given time we could have seen

all the things he could have been

if you tried

But he settled for the english dream

bathed in mediocrity

stood in line

But thats not enough for me

I will kick and scream

tell you why

Chorus

Its such a longshot

everything that we've got

just living on this rock

surrounded by the sea

With our shoes off

balancing on rooftops

you put your faith in preachers

I put my faith in me

Mid-section:

I dont want to waste your time

I dont want to waste your time

Chorus

Its such a longshot

everything that we've got

just living on this rock

surrounded by the sea

With our shoes off

balancing on rooftops

you put your faith in preachers

I put my faith in me

Chorus

Its such a longshot

everything that we've got

just living on this rock

surrounded by the sea

With our shoes off

balancing on rooftops

you put your faith in preachers

I put my faith in me
