Showtime Catfish And The Bottlemen Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Back to the graft again
Just sold my voice for a long weekend
You bet it was worth it
There’s no other place I’d rather reset
Got that right, love
If I wasn’t yours, I’d be somewhere else
On some other time zone
Tryna work things out myself
[Pre-Chorus]
If I’m not moving you
I’ll be straight up outta here
Save analyzing the lies for the guys who’ve got the time for it
I will say it again!
If I’m not moving you
I’ll be straight off out of here
Save analysing the lies for the guys who’ve got the timе for it
[Chorus]
Fuck that shit!
Get on this
Sometimes
Whеn the thing you love is right in front of your eyes
Don’t you blink or miss
Showtime
Before you know it’s goin’, gone, and that’s life
[Verse 2]
Back to the fields again
When I’ve headlined Leeds, I’ll be back, my friend
Go on roll us another, though
You know my timing is impeccable
Still got through, you know
Could’ve called it a night but there’s too much fight in that heart
Get your mind right now ’cause we’re both just about to start
[Pre-Chorus]
If I’m not moving you I’ll be straight off outta here
Save other lines and the lies for the guys who’ve got the time for it
[Chorus]
Fuck that shit!
Get on this
Sometimes
And the thing you love is right in front of your eyes
Don’t you blink or miss, it’s your time
Before you know what’s going on and that’s life
[Break]
Stayed up for days
Trying to find some space
It’s about time, right place
Yeah it happens all the time
[Verse 3]
Making tracks again, ’cause we set our sights on the goal that ends
Me being all yours and you being all mine
[Pre-Chorus]
If I’m not moving you I’ll be straight up outta here
Annemarie said you went on a spree there asking for me
[Chorus]
I love that shit!
Get on this
Sometimes
And the thing you love is right in front of your eyes
Don’t you blink or miss, it’s your time
Before you know what’s going on and that’s life
And the thing you love is right in front of your eyes
So, won’t you get on this?
Get on this
