Here we go again. In my blog, you can check the lyrics and enjoy the clip again of this fantastic song we have worked today. Now, relax and study for the rest of your exams.

 

 

Took a right to the end of the line

Where no one ever goes.

Ended up on a broken train with nobody I know.

But the pain and the (longings) the same.

(Where the dying

Now I’m lost and I’m screaming for help.)

 

Relax, take it easy

For there is nothing that we can do.

Relax, take it easy

Blame it on me or blame it on you.

 

It’s as if I’m scared.

It’s as if I’m terrified.

It’s as if I scared.

It’s as if I’m playing with fire.

Scared.

It’s as if I’m terrified.

Are you scared?

Are we playing with fire?

 

Relax

There is an answer to the darkest times.

It’s clear we don’t understand but the last thing on my mind

Is to leave you.

I believe that we’re in this together.

Don’t scream – there are so many roads left.

 

Relax, take it easy

For there is nothing that we can do.

Relax, take it easy

Blame it on me or blame it on you.

 

Relax, take it easy

For there is nothing that we can do.

Relax, take it easy

Blame it on me or blame it on you.

 

Relax, take it easy

For there is nothing that we can do.

Relax, take it easy

Blame it on me or blame it on you.

 

Relax, take it easy

For there is nothing that we can do.

Relax, take it easy

Blame it on me or blame it on you.

 

It’s as if I’m scared.

It’s as if I’m terrified.

It’s as if I scared.

It’s as if I’m playing with fire.

Scared.

It’s as if I’m terrified.

Are you scared?

Are we playing with fire?
