[Verse 1:]
We arrived on sinking ships in moonlight
Both set sail for the other side of the world
We arrived on sinking ships in moonlight
There wasn't any hope of land at all
Crossing all the waves of good intentions
Finding we could make a way to row
And when we spotted land in opposite directions
Where do we go
[Chorus:]
We gotta start it up
We've been waiting for so long
We've gotta start it up
Baby let's build this one to last
Start it up
We can't wait too long
We gotta start it up
[Verse 2:]
I clung on to bits of board and you dear
Happy to be in your arms again
We were brave
But we weren't brave enough dear
And day by day we built a way to stay in love
Crossing all the waves of good intentions
Finding it's just hard enough to row
And now we're seeing land in opposite directions
When do we go
Where do we go
[Chorus:]
We gotta start it up
We've been waiting for so long
We've gotta start it up
Baby let's build this one to last
Start it up
We can't wait too long
We gotta start it up
[Bridge:]
Onward now we passed on rare occasion
All your fear on clear enough display
You blame me
And I blame Peter Pan too
What's the use in blaming any way
[Chorus:]
We gotta start it up
We've been waiting for so long
We've gotta start it up
Baby let's build this one to last
Start it up
We can't wait too long
We gotta start it up
Gotta start it up
We gotta start it up
Gotta start it up
We gotta start it up
