You started running
When everything turned cold

Oh, on a sinking ship with a heavy heart
Ooh

[Outro]
How'd we get so dark?
How'd we get so dark?
How'd we get so dark?
How'd we get so dark?
How'd we get so dark?
How'd we get so dark?
How'd we get so dark?
How'd we get so dark?
How'd we get so dark?
How'd we get so dark?
How'd we get so dark?
How'd we get so dark?
How'd we get so dark?
How'd we get so dark?
How'd we get so dark?
How'd we get so dark?
How'd we get so dark?

Mike Kerr:
I think we probably mixed it and finished it days before the deadline. It wasn’t until it was on the record that we had time to sit back and go, ‘Oh. This song is actually really good.’
