lyrics

Take this life one square at a time
This life-size chequerboard of mine

Too busy looking down
And I'm following the cracks beneath me feet along the ground
And I'm waiting for you to take my hand
So we can link arms and make a stand

I'm holding on
Watching as you take your turn
Holding on

Time kicks in and colours fade
And I don't know who I'm supposed to be today
But as long as your by my side
I don't need it any other way

I'm holding on
Watching as you take your turn
Holding on

If you're the King then I'm your pawn
And I truly swear I've never felt this strong
Take this life one step at a time
This life-size chequerboard of mine

If you're the Queen then I'm your knight
And I truly swear I've never felt this right
Take this life one square at a time
This life-size chequerboard of mine
