[Verse 1]

Helpless

Sitting in her bedroom feeling helpless

Cheap white wine

The morning after last night

[Chorus]

The lights were low and we were getting nowhere

Getting nowhere, chasing heaven

[Verse 2]

It's empty

Just tear it down and start again

It's funny, believe me

But I don't get the joke, I don't get the joke

It's so close

[Chorus]

But something tells me I'll be going nowhere

Going nowhere, chasing heaven

Chasing heaven

Do you promise us happy ever after?

Beg, borrow and buy greener pastures

No work and money in the country

Two for one, enjoy the one and only

Standing orders and letters of acceptance

Rental house and proof of your existence

Hold the door and be home by eleven

Cut the cord away now

Chasing heaven

Sooner than later we'll get steady jobs

And forget what we came here for

Sooner than later they'll be moving us on

We'll forget what we came here for

Sooner than later we'll get steady jobs

And forget what we came here for

Sooner than later they'll be moving us on

We'll forget what we came here for
