[Verse 1]
You've got a lot of medals
For someone who is losing
You've got a lot of trophies
They call it moral bruising
You're wearing all your ribbons
And yelling at the TV
You're scaring all your housemates
With your monologuing

[Chorus]
We could concede and let it go on
Places to be, they're getting us through
Temporary peaceful approach
Everyone is waiting for you

[Verse 2]
You're always in the doorway
Never in the moment
It's like watching a movie
Next to a chain-smoker
Why is it so paralysing
To see the one you love dance?
Are you holding their hand
Or holding back each other?
[Chorus]
We could concede and let it go on
Places to be, getting us through
Temporary peaceful approach
While everyone is waiting for you, go

[Outro]
(La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la)
(La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la)
(La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la)
(La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la)
Telling lies, telling lies to yourself
(La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la)
(La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la)
Telling lies, telling lies to yourself
(La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la)
(La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la)
(La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la)
(La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la)
Ba, ba-ba-ba-ba
(La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la)
(La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la)
