Lyrics

[Verse 1]

(Go-go-go-go) Go, go, go

Go, go, go

(Go-go-go-go) Go, go, go

Go, go, go

[Verse 2]

No more excuses and no more playing dead

There are no silver linings in anything you said

You can keep on denying and I could stay away

We could hold up our hands, say

We don't want it, we don't need it

[Verse 3]

If I give more than enough ground

Will you claim it?

I will take it all in one breath

And hold it down

And if I try to pretend that

I don't hear it

You can tell me to move and I won't go

You can tell me to try and I won't go

If I give more than enough ground

Will you leave it?

I will take it all in one breath

And hold it down

And if I try to pretend that

I don't see it

You can tell me to move and I won't go

You can tell me to try and I won't go

[Verse 4]

(Go-go-go-go) Go, go, go

Go, go (Uh-oh)

[Verse 5]

No more distractions and no more staying still

I am chasing the skyline much more than you ever will

You can keep to your story and I could stick to mine

We could hold up our hands, say

We don't want it, we don't need it

[Verse 6]

If I give more than enough ground

Will you claim it?

I will take it all in one breath

And hold it down

And if I try to pretend that

I don't hear it

You can tell me to move and I won't go

You can tell me to try and I won't go

If I give more than enough ground

Will you leave it?

I will take it all in one breath

And hold it down

And if I try to pretend that

I don't see it

You can tell me to move and I won't go

You can tell me to try and I won't go

[Verse 7]

(Go-go-go-go) Go, go, go

Go, go (Oh my God)

(Go-go-go-go) Go, go, go

Go, go (Go-Go)

(Go-go-go-go) Go, go, go

Go, go (Oh my God)

(Go-go-go-go) Go, go, go

Go, go

[Verse 8]

If I give more than enough ground

Will you claim it?

I will take it all in one breath

And hold it down

And if I try to pretend that

I don't hear it

You can tell me to move and I won't go

You can tell me to try and I won't go

If I give more than enough ground

Will you leave it?

I will take it all in one breath

And hold it down

And if I try to pretend that

I don't see it

You can tell me to move and I won't go

You can tell me to try and I won't go

[Verse 9]

(Go-go-go-go) Go, go, go

Go, go, go

(Go-go-go-go) Go, go, go

Go, go, go
