Here you are on the brink
In a moment of doubt
Closing in as you sink
It’s now or never

Seconds are ticking
Make your move
Or forever
You will be waiting
Do it now before it’s too late

Some people say
A happier time is coming
To pass you by in a moment of doubt

There’s a lump in your throat
It’s self-inflicted
So we laugh as you choke
Nobody cares as much as you
A moment of glory in your hand
You can’t take it with you

Some people say
A happier time is coming
The lucky ones
Who believe a day in the sun will come
Those people say
A happier time is coming
But you’re paralysed
In a moment of doubt

You’ve still got your foot in the door
Rehearsing your lines in the mirror
You practice each day
Constructing things to be scared of
Things to be scared of

Some people say
A happier time is coming
The lucky ones
Who believe a day in the sun will come
Those people say
A happier time is coming
To pass you by in a moment of doubt
