Verse 1]
Standing on the edge of forever
At the start of whatever
Shouting love at the world
Back then we were like cavemen
But we map the moon and the stars
Then we forgave them

[Pre-Chorus 1]
We will meet you where the lights are
The defendants of the faith we are
When the thunder turns around they'll run so hard we’ll tear the ground away

You know no one dies
In these love drowned eyes
Through our love drowned eyes
We'll watch you sleep tonight

[Chorus 1]
Although no one understood
We were holding back the flood
Learning how to dance the rain
We were holding back the flood
They said we'd never dance again

[Verse 2]
Bleeding, but none of us leaving
Watch your mouth son
Or you’ll find yourself floating home

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Here we come now on a dark star
Seeing demons, not what we are
Tiny minds and eager hands will try to strike but now will end today

There's progress now
Where there once was none
Where there once was none
Then everything came along

[Chorus 2]
Although no one understood
We were holding back the flood
Learning how to dance the rain
There was more of them than us
Now they'll never dance again
Although no one understood
There was more of them than us
Learning how to dance the rain
We were holding back the flood
They said we'd never dance again

[Pre-Chorus 1]
We will meet you where the lights are
The defendants of the faith we are
When the thunder turns around they'll run so hard we'll tear the ground away

[Chorus 3]
Although no one understood
There was more of them than us
Learning how to dance the rain
(Learning how to dance the rain)
There was more of them than us
Now they'll never dance again
Now we'll never dance again

(Opening instrumental from Wait)

One of Britain’s most successful boy bands, Take That are an English pop group from Manchester, formed in 1990. The group currently consists of Gary Barlow, Howard Donald, and Mark Owen. The original line-up also featured Jason Orange and Robbie Williams.

Back in the 90s, they achieved unparalleled success, recording three albums which topped the UK Everything Changes and Nobody Else and Greatest Hits. Some of their biggest hits from then include “Back for Good”, “Pray”, “Everything Changes”, “A Million Love Songs” as well as covers of “Relight My Fire” by Dan Hartman and “It Only Takes a Minute” by Tavares.

Their popularity was unsurpassed in Britain. But tensions started growing and Robbie Williams left the band in 1995. The group disbanded the following year after the four remaining members completed their world tour.
