[Verse] AmC The world is too heavy, AmC too big for my shoulders, AmCF come take the weight off me, now.
AmC Thousands of answers, AmC for one simple question, AmCF come take the weight off me, now.
[Chorus] AmCF I'm like a kid who just won't let it go, AmCF Twisting and turning the colours in rows, AmCF I'm so intent to find out what it is. G This is my Rubik's Cube G I know I can figure it out.
[Verse 2] AmC We're lost in the playground, AmC Late night nostalgia, AmCF Open the sky for me, now.
AmC Friends round the fire, AmC Outside in December AmCF Open the sky for me now.
[Chorus] AmCF I'm like a kid who just won't let it go, AmCF Twisting and turning the colours in rows, AmCF I'm so intent to find out what it is. G This is my Rubik's Cube G I know I can figure it out.
[Bridge] AmC Credits roll over, AmC the edge of the horizons, AmCF but I haven't discovered yet.
[Chorus] AmCF I'm like a kid who just won't let it go, AmCF Twisting and turning the colours in rows, AmCF I'm so intent to find out what it is. G This is my Rubik's Cube G I know I can figure it out.
[Chorus] AmCF I'm like a kid who just won't let it go, AmCF Twisting and turning the colours in rows, AmCF I'm so intent to find out what it is. G This is my Rubik's Cube G I know I can figure it out.
