Doves › Lyrics › Pounding

I can't stand by and see you destroyed
I can't be here and watch you burn up
Lie for the moment and lie as a decoy
Does it matter if I give in easy?
So why is it so hard to get by?

And I say, we so down
But it's now or never baby
We don't mind if this don't last forever
See the light but it won't last forever
Seize the time 'cause it's now or never baby

Let's leave at sunrise, let's live by the ocean
And I don't mind If we never come home at all
Steal the morning so set in motion
In and out of love and institutions
'Cause I know this can't last for long

And I say, we so down
But it's now or never baby
We don't mind if this don't last forever
See the light but it won't last forever
Seize the time 'cause it's now or never baby

[Incomprehensible]

So why is it so hard to get by?
And I say, we so down
And this can't last forever
We don't mind 'cause it's now or never baby
