The nights are longer now than ever before
We really are ants now
I ache for a feeling
There's life in us yet, love
Buildings in clouds here
There's eyes in the sky tonight
Our time and our place, dear
But now you see the lights from the town
Watching us lose the fight
You hear the clocks counting down
The nights are longer now than ever before
Look up through the trees to feel as small as you can
I ache for a feeling
Escape the nest somehow
You hear the clocks counting down
You came and you poured it in, it in
We really are ants now
The nights are longer now than ever before
You hear the clocks counting down
These walls we will climb above
Escape the nest somehow
These walls we will climb above, above
You came and you poured it in, it in
Look up through the trees to feel as small as you can
I've still got love in me
I'm drained and I'm empty
Look up through the trees to feel as small as you can
There's life in us yet, love
But now you see the lights from the town
