Target Lyrics by Embrace

This New Day

2006

[Verse 1]
You flicker like a mile high neon sign
Hot and cold so no-one knows your mind
I was gonna let you win, but I won't break
For an hour, I held the moon on a string
Now this moment's left 'till the world begins
Everything is possible, it's beautiful

[Chorus]
When will you wake up, see what's happening
Right before your eyes? No
And if you must blow hot and cold, take a swing
You will hit the target every time

[Verse 2]
And so I look before I leap and I see
Wolves are at the door with my enemies
I was gonna let them in, but then you say
"Watch the stars defeating my enemy
It's too far for them to bring you to me
And everything is possible, it's beautiful"

[Chorus]
When will you wake up, see what's happening
Right before your eyes? No
And if you must blow hot and cold, take a swing
You will hit the target every time

When will you wake up, see what's happening
Right before your eyes? No
And if you must blow hot and cold, take a swing
You will hit the target every time

[Bridge]
I reached the water's edge I wished that I could hold Everybody's breath until no one has any left
You take me to the edge, you're being to called to follow
The footprints that I left behind

[Verse 3]
Listen up, I'll sing to you how I can
Out of luck, now time is all that we have
Think about yourself and you'll kill all you love
I know our makers love all the mess they make
Out of sight, behind these eyes you'll stay
Where everything is possible, it's beautiful

[Chorus]
When will you wake up, see what's happening
Right before your eyes? No
And if you must blow hot and cold, take a swing
You will hit the target every time

When will you wake up, see what's happening
Right before your eyes? No
And if you must blow hot and cold, take a swing
You will hit the target every time
