There ain't no point holding back the tide
Still gonna get yer
Cos every little bird's got to learn to fly, sooner or later
I don't wanna lose you
Can't always do what you wanna do.

There's ain't no point holding back the tide
Don't waste you're time
Cos everything is out there
And there's no limits out there
We could be reaching out for anything if we try enough

 
Chorus:
Let the daylight end
On a better day
It's been too long waiting, baby
Under a raincloud
Let the daylight end
On a better day
It's been too long waiting, baby
Under a raincloud

 
There ain't no point holding back desire
Still gonna get yer
Strangers on a train driving through the night, soon overtakes yer
If someone feels the same as you.
Might as well just do what you wanna do

 
There ain't no point holding back desire
Don't waste your time
Cos everything is out there
And there's no limits out there
We could be reaching out for anything if we try enough

 
Chorus

Cos everything is out there
And there's no limits out there
We could be reaching out for anything if we try enough
Let the daylight end, on a better day
It's been too long waiting, baby
Under a raincloud
