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
