Headlock, originally by Imogen Heap

[Verse 1]

Distant flickerings, greener scenery

This weather's bringing it all back again

Great adventures, faces in condensation

I'm going outside to take it all in

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

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

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

[Bridge]

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

[Drop]

Yes, oh my gosh

You know you're better than this

[Chorus]

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

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

[Outro]

Broken hearts, I'm a coward too

You don't need to hide, my friend

For I am just like you
