[Verse 1: Kyle Falconer]
Boy you've dug your head out of a thousand holes
You've gotta stand up, you gotta take the blows
Cos if you don't take the blows then the girl won't sing
And the grass won't grow
Sometimes I think that I think too much
And that it's all in my head, and I can't touch
Cos if you touch too much then the lights won't go
And the water won't flush
[Chorus]
And I'm chasing all the cares away
Fighting for freedom for one day
I'm chasing all my cares away
So take me to that beautiful way
[Verse 3]
Nigel said my eyes look blank too much
And if I carry on my mind will turn to mush
And if It turns to mush then the string won't rattle
And the paint won't brush
He said you're only happy when you're pissed"
I said, "No I'm Not"
He said, "I insist"
How many times should you have a blow a fist
But instead, you've swung your first?
[Chorus]
And I'm chasing all the cares away
Fighting for freedom for one day
I'm chasing all my cares away
So take me to that beautiful way
[Pre-Chorus]
What was that dripping away?
Oh, was it water or time?
Was it a stunt or a crime?
You can only own your own life
So I own mine, I own mine
[Chorus]
And I'm chasing all the cares away
Fighting for freedom for one day
I'm chasing all my cares away
So take me to that beautiful way
So take me to that beautiful way
So take me to that beautiful way (yeah)
Yeah, take me to that beautiful way
