Keep it light
Keep it easy
Like the bird on the wire
The air in the tyre
It's not where you're meant to be
But those dark skies that you run from
They're never that far behind

Keeping us out of mind
Hearts on the line
Just a day at a time
Keeping us out of mind
Hearts on the line
Just a day at a time

Try and forget
Keep it empty
All those books at the back
With dust on the stacks
It's better just leave them be
'Cause the dark skies that you run from
They're never that far behind

Keeping us out of mind
Hearts on the line
Just a day at a time
Keeping us out of mind
Hearts on the line
Just a day at a time

When the stars are circling over us
And your hands there reaching for mine
Just hold on
Hold on
One day at a time

'Cause the dark skies that you run from
They're never that far behind

When the stars are circling over us
And your hands there reaching for mine
Just hold on
Hold on
One day at a time
