10,000 Hours Songtext
von TRC

It had just gone five o′clock on a thursday
And true say I'd had a messed up afternoon
I trained in the morning, I met Nick at noon
Hurry up girl I′m starving
You said "be here soon"

And that's the one downside to you
Your timekeeping's appalling
You know that it′s true
And as she dropped me at the nearest tube
After that little placed served lunch for two

She′s like "what's wrong Chris?"
"Why are you blue?"
"Why the screw face?"
"Why the mood?"

See I was off to get a tattoo from Dan Gold
It′s cold outside
Let me put on layer or two


She's like "where′s your sunshine gone?"
"You've been playing soppy sad boy bollocks for too long"
And I knew that she was right
But I couldn′t see past the clouds despite blinding bright lights

And sometimes in life I would get a little down
For no particular reason
See I ain't got a reason to frown
Alright, my life's build on uneasy ground
But I work my balance in the gym
And I′ve got the mental strength to stay focused for 10,000 hours

And crossing the road at that moment I felt something hit me
And it was pretty damn hard
But thankfully it weren′t a bike or care
It was life'

And it was telling me that time was tight
And if I want to live then I draw the line
And let of of the past and let bright lights lead the way from the dark

I lit a spark
Turned flame thrower
Too hot to hold
But on the flip side the reason that my bed is cold


Born to be bold
Bang a ball
Get a goal
I′ve been aiming at this one since 15 years old (true story)

Yeah, that's all that′s told
Name drops and references
No jackanory, so barman
Come on and pour us a drink so we can toast all the people
That never did think we could do it

And sometimes in life I would get a little down
When I think about all that I lost
But look at what I've found
I took a risk
I went exploring uneasy ground
Cause I work my balance in the gym
And I′ve got the mental strength to stay focused for 10,000 hours

I lit a spark, turned flame thrower
Too hot to hold
On the flip side the reason that my bed is cold

Born to be bold
Bang a ball
Get a goal
I've been aiming at this one since 15 years old (true story)

Yeah, that's all that′s told
Name drops and references
No jackanory, so barman
Come on and pour us a drink so we can toast all the people
That never did think we could do it

And sometimes in life I would get a little down
When I think about all that I lost
But look at what I′ve found
I took a risk
I went exploring uneasy ground
Cause I work my balance in the gym
And I've got the mental strength to stay focused for 10,000 hours
