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
