Eyeliner 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
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...

Sometimes we had endless hope,
and tranquillizer eyes
[ Geneva Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]
Fear 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
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 (6x)

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 stalemate.
