 eye-liner up you knock me down

 you hold your breath and I hold mine

every step another step towards halfheartedness

let us be happy while we're still young

let us be happy while we're still young

>>CHORUS<<

until it all seemed pointless we lifted up the mattress

 from underneath the window seat

 is this what checkmate means she said

lighting up again, yes I like the stillness

>>VERSE<<

sometimes we had endless hope

and tranquillizer eyes

feel so close it's hard to breathe

so close but we believe...

let us be happy while we're still young

let us be happy while we're still young

>>CHORUS<<

until it all seemed pointless we lifted up the mattress

from underneath the window seat

is this what checkmate means she said

lighting up again, yes I like the stillness

let us be happy while we're still young

let us be happy while we're still young

let us be happy while we're still young

let us be happy while we're still young

let us be happy while we're still young

let us be happy while we're still young

let us be happy
