Hey baby come down for a while,
I need you to turn and award me a smile,
There's a spot here by my side,
Hey babe can we drift for a while,
Watch as the shadows bleed into night,
There's a few more hours of light,
Seems to me you're treading water,
Seems to me you're hoping a lot,
I'm looking forward baby less than I look back,
To find out what it takes to make you smile,
To bring you back here safely for a while,
It's been five years and I've been calling,
It's been five years of looking back,
It's been five years of wanting only what you lack,
It's time for you to turn and count your stock,
It's time for you to realise what you've got,
Hey baby come down for a while,
I need you to turn and award me a smile,
There's a spot here by my side,
Hey babe can you prove to yourself,
What you're straining to measure to everyone else,
Cause you're oh so close to the wire,
Seems to me you're bailing water,
Seems to me you're losing the lot,
I'm looking forward baby less than I look back,
To find out what it takes to make you smile,
To bring you back here safely for a while,
It's been five years and I've been calling,
It's been five years of looking back,
It's been five years of wanting only what you lack,
It's time for you to turn and count your stock,
It's time for you to free me from this lot,
It's time for you to turn and count your stock,
It's time for you to realise what you've got.
