"Kākāpō" lyrics

Hold up
You may be done with me, but I'm not all done with you
Shut up
I've got a list this long of things that we still can do

Let's not dismiss
It's one shot at this
So hold on to your hat
It's the bits between your teeth
There's nothing you can't achieve
And I go all misty eyed for that

We're coming up close to the wire
(Coming up closer to the wire)
(You're running right up against it)
Don't let apathy be the decider
(Apathy can be the decider)
(No, this isn't recommended)
We've got our North Star story reminder
(Acting out the final reminder)
(But you won't be around to benefit)
So let's raise our game and play the insider
(Raise your game and play the insider)
(You've got to be in it to win it, huh)

I can't lie
You've got flaws but I rather do enjoy your company
(Your company)
So bright
Cities rise and fail all you got is dust on your knees
(Impressive)

I meant what I said
About X, Y and Z
They've really gotta change
(Is that the face of dismay? Oh, come here)
I see you years from now
And all the ways you worked it out
We had fun on the way
(Yay)

We're coming up close to the wire
(Coming up closer to the wire)
(You're running right up against it)
Don't let apathy be the decider
(Apathy can be the decider)
(No, this isn't recommended)
We've got our North Star story reminder
(Acting out the final reminder)
(But you won't be around to benefit)
So let's raise our game and play the insider
(Raise your game and play the insider)
(You've got to be in it to win it, huh)

Oh, won't you stick around?
Stay a little longer before you go underground
Come on you, pull up a pew
Shout above the rooftops
Or show me some moves

You know what to do
Don't pretend that you don't
(Isn't there something you should see to?)
(Isn't there something you should see to?)
I know that you know
You know what to do
Don't pretend that you don't
(Isn't there something you should see to?)
(Isn't there something you should see to?)

'Cause we're coming up, coming up
We're coming up close to the wire (Ooh)
Don't let apathy be the decider (Ooh)
We've got our North Star story reminder
So let's raise our game and play the insider
(It's a win-win-win)

'Cause we're coming up, coming up
We're coming up close to the wire
(Coming up closer to the wire)
(You're running right up against it)
Don't let apathy be the decider
(Apathy can be the decider)
(No, this isn't recommended)
We've got our North Star story reminder
(Acting out the final reminder)
(But you won't be around to benefit)
So let's raise our game and play the insider
(Raise your game and play the insider)
(You've got to be in it to win it, huh)

'Cause we're coming up, coming up
We're coming up close now
(Isn't there something you should see to?)
I know that you know
