Have you ever been compelled Under a spell From a protagonist who knows he fought too well? Have you ever been undone By a slip of the tongue
and betrayed a side of you that felt hard won? So we watch the water swell From a Scottish hotel Have you ever fell? Have you ever fell?
[Chorus]
Are you gonna tell me why There's a backpack by the bedroom window It's a pack of lies Everything has to reach a peak sometime Tell me why There's a map laid flat on the bedside table It's a pack of lies It's not a peak, it's a plateau Let me know When you wanna leave this island Let me know When you wanna hear my point of view
In the observation lounge Couples ready to pounce But there's a reticence from treading icy ground So we watch the water swell From a Scottish hotel Have you ever fell Have you ever fell
[Chorus]
I'll stand up for you
I will act as a semaphore I will guide you to a perfect landing I will act as a distant shore I will aim to be the last man standing for you I will act as a semaphore I will guide you to a perfect landing
I'll stand up for you I'll stand up for you When you wanna leave this island When you wanna hear my point of view
