Headlock - Ron van den Beuken, Imogen Heap, Maarten de Jong

Distant flickerings, greener scenery

This weather’s bringing it all back again

Great adventures, faces in condensation

I’m going outside and take it all in

You say too late to start

Got your heart in a headlock

I don’t believe any of it

You say too late to start

With your heart in a headlock

You know you’re better than this

Wear a different pair, do something out of step

Throw a stranger an unexpected smile

With big intention, still posted at your station

Always on about the day it should have flied

You say too late to start

Got your heart in a headlock

I don’t believe any of it

You say too late to start

With your heart in a headlock

You know you’re better than this

Afraid to start

(How can you lose? How can you lose?)

Got your heart in a headlock

(How can you lose? How can you lose?)

I don’t believe any of it

(How can you lose?)

You say too late to start

(How can you lose? How can you lose?)

With your heart in a headlock

(How can you lose? How can you lose?)

You know you’re better than this

(How can you lose?)

You’ve been walking, you’ve been hiding

And you look half dead half the time

Monitoring you, like machines do

You’ve still got it, I’m just keeping an eye

You’ve been walking, you’ve been hiding

And you look half dead half the time

Monitoring you, like machines do

You’ve still got it, I’m just keeping an eye

You know you’re better than this

Can’t make a start

Got your heart in a headlock

No, I don’t believe any of it

You say too late to start

With your heart in a headlock

You know you’re better than this

Afraid to start

(How can you lose? How can you lose?)

Got your heart in a headlock

(How can you lose? How can you lose?)

I don’t believe any of it

(How can you lose?)

You say too late to start

(How can you lose? How can you lose?)

With your heart in a headlock

(How can you lose? How can you lose?)

You know you’re better than this

(How can you lose?)
