I've been driving in my car
Trying to find some sign of life
No on'e about and it's kinda creepy
It's an understatement to say it's sleepy
It's a ghost town where no one goes
It's a ghost town where no one goes
Well you think your town is pretty boring
Come and spend a day with me
I am asking real politely
I'm afraid to be alone
It's a ghost town where no one goes
It's a ghost town where no one goes
Apocalyptic, distressing, needs addressing and I'm guessing
Everybody likes to go... I know, I know, I know
It's a ghost town where no one goes
It's a ghost town where no one goes
It's a ghost town
You walk into the room with refining and poise
Bewitching, enthralling all of the boys
You're so chic and you're so sweet
And oh
I wish I was a girl
Yeah, I wish I was a girl
You seductive mystery
You're a revelation to me
Life is easy when you're easy on the eye
And I
I wish I was a girl
Yeah I, wish I was a girl
Cause your appeal's an open door
That you float through in your haute couture
Dolce & Gabbana, McQueen Armani Prada
Von Furstenberg on Mulberry, Givenchy and Escada
Oh I, wish I was a girl
Yeah I, wish I was a girl
Oh I, wish I was a girl
Yeah I, wish I was a girl
I wish I was a girl
Down, down in my bones
Somewhere I'd never ever known
Right at the back of my head
It hit me like a beam of light
Hit me like ???
And I could have fell to the floor
'Cause you talk to me
and it comes off the wall
You talk to me
and it goes over my head
So let's go to bed
before you say something real
Let's go to bed before
you say how you feel
'Cause it's you
I always, always knew
I oh, I always knew
Oh, it's you
I try my best to unwind
Nothing on my mind but you
Oblivious to all that I'll owe
I'm hanging on
to what I don't know
So let's go to bed
before you say something real
Let's go to bed
before you say how you feel
'Cause it's you
I always, always knew
I oh, I always knew
Oh, it's you
Yeah it's you
I always, always knew
I oh, I always knew
Oh, it's you
Well it's you
I always, always knew
I oh, I always knew
Oh, it's you
I knew, oh I always knew
Yes I always knew
You have been struggling to see actuality
Actually, it doesn't surprise me
And you wear....frozen to the core
I'm not wearing anything awful
But you are pulling the world over, wouldn't you rather know
That I am overindulging you, it's so easy though
You're coming up for air
Happier down there
In your aftershave ocean
Lies, difficult to face
Floating out in space
In your aftershave ocean
I could be talking out of line, you could put me straight
And I'd say I don't understand you
You'd say "oh, let... come give me a kiss
Come give me a piece of your mind"
'Cause you are pulling the world over, wouldn't you rather know
That I am overindulging you, it's so easy though
You're coming up for air
Happier down there
In your aftershave ocean
Lies, difficult to face
Floating out in space
In your aftershave ocean
Oh you are pulling the world over, wouldn't you rather know
That I am overindulging you, it's so easy though
You're coming up for air
Happier down there
In your aftershave ocean
I get water up my nose
I have to dry my clothes
In your aftershave ocean
Lies, difficult to face
Floating out in space
In your aftershave ocean
You're coming up for air
Happier down there
In your aftershave ocean
Lies, difficult to face
Floating out in space
I'm a man and I'm so possessive
And I don't know If I'm keeping my mouth shut yet
Got advice, Don't know what it was good for
Even now I don't know who I'm supposed to hate
Come to grips with the rules of attraction
And I don't know If you've ever liked me or not
Either way it was kind of convincing
You never learn do you
You cold headed but you worry alone-
You could get in trouble but they already know
Ah oh, ah oh, ah oh, ah oh, ah oh, ah oh,ah oh,
You sat out and your covered in darkness
Is it always easier after hours
We're you always pulling a fast one
Was he always keeping you on your toes
I don't mean to sound melodramatic
But I don't know and I'm disconnected from you
You could do with a little excitement
There's nothing else to do
Oh, you so wicked with a mania for
You are working in the cover but you worry alone
You could get in trouble but they already know
Ah oh, ah oh, ah oh, ah oh, ah oh, ah oh, ah oh, ahhhhhh
Immorality's a thrill
Even let it get the best of me
But you've been messing around and your so composed
But ya get what you want, and you want one of those
But you might do what I told you if you knew what I was thinking
And yea ya might do what I told you if you knew what I was thinking
Yea ya might do what I told you if you knew what I was thinking
Yea ya might do what I told you if you knew what I was thinking
Oh, you so wicked with a mania for
You are working in the cover but you worry alone
You could get in trouble but they already know
I knew who you were, it was perfectly obvious
I was uncomfortable playing it cool
But I feel like I have always known you
I kept you close and I thought you would question it
Young in the night, when we stare like the rest of them
God forbid
Oh my god
I would hold you close
'Cause it is a lonely world
But would you want me too
'Cause it is a lonely world
Well I put off 'cause I'm painfully difident
I played it out in my head from afar
But they trust me too
You disappeared to my dissatisfaction
Oh, what could have been with a little more time?
Woe is me
Oh my god
I would hold you close
'Cause it is a lonely world
But would you want me too
'Cause it is a lonely world
Yeah I would hold you close
'Cause it is a lonely world
If I was confident
'Cause it is a lonely world
Yeah I would hold you close
'Cause it is a lonely world
But would you want me too
'Cause it is a lonely world
Yeah I would hold you close
'Cause it is a lonely world
If I was confident
Break me on the thirty-seventh hour
Tout me, doubt me, show me all of your power
I will watch you rise on my back from the ground
Friend or foe?
I don't know
Do you like what you've found?
I will one day shine with you
I'll shine on a faithful few
Show we 'low quotations
Have you earned your stripes?
Fabricate salvation
Lord, I know your type
I've known you all my life
I was always wrong, you all in white
Brush my cause aside with little trouble
Oh my god, I think I'm hearing double
I will watch you rise on my back from afar
Friend or foe?
I don't know now you're up in the stars
But I will one day shine with you
I'll shine on a faithful few

I know I'm fucking moody
And I know I'm quite unkind
I know I'm kind of distant
But you're always on my mind
And you will imply that I am apathetic
Right to the bone
And I don't wanna let it go
You know I'm not a weirdo, no
I don't wanna let it go
You know I'm not a weirdo
I guess I'm quite controlling
And I'm insecure
And I know you'd like it better
If I opened up some more
But I don't even know if I could look you
Straight in the eye
Oh my
And I don't wanna let it go
You know I'm not a weirdo, no
I don't wanna let it go
You know I'm not a weirdo
Ooh, ooh, noo
I don't wanna let it go
You know I'm not a weirdo
I know that I'm neurotic
And I'm hard to please
And I'm disobliging
And faulty by design
Not withstanding I think we could work out
Work out just fine
And I don't wanna let it go
You know I'm not a weirdo, no
I don't wanna let it go
You know I'm not a weirdo
Noo, ooh, ooh
You question me even though
You know I'm not a weirdo
I don't wanna let it go
You know I'm not a weirdo, no
I don't wanna let it go
You know I'm not a weirdo
Ooh, ooh
I don't wanna let it go
Okay, I could live without it
Were you ever my age? No, I doubt it
A native American feather
The Generals look better in leather
Blow, blow, blow it up
Blow, blow, blow it up
Blow, blow, blow it up
Blow it up, blow it up, blow it up
Shipping out is fun on the weekend
But you don't feel as young with a girlfriend
I'm bored trying to deal with your ego
Late light bagging in Willow
Blow, blow, blow it up
Blow, blow, blow it up
Blow, blow, blow it up
Blow it up, blow it up, oh
Blow, blow, blow it up
Blow, blow, blow it up
Blow, blow, blow it up
Oh, you can't hold a gun to my head
No, you can't hold a gun to my head
Because baby, I would just refuse
Baby, I would just refuse
All in vain, all in vain
Well you don't know how I feel and I can't explain
Oh, you can't hold a gun to my head
No, you can't hold a gun to my head
Because baby, I would just refuse
Baby, I would just refuse
All in vain, all in vain
When I follow anything that takes my life
All in vain, all in vain
When I self-destruct for fun and I don't know why
You might as well admit it, despite how you might see it
I'm never gonna waste my time with you
I don't know how you're feeling, you know you kinda blew it
I'm never gonna waste my time with you
Oh, you can't hold a gun to my head
No, you can't hold a gun to my head
Because baby, I would just refuse
Baby, I would just refuse
All in vain, all in vain
When I ate an appetite that I can't refuse
All in vain, all in vain
Well I could bore you with a truth
About an uneventful youth
So you could get that wrap from someone else
And I could make an observation
If you want the voice of the generation
But I'm too self-absorbed to give it clout
And I, I don't really care about
Anybody else when I haven't got my own life figured out
‘Cause when you're young and bored at 24
And you don't know who you are no more
There's no hope and it's hard to come of age
I think it's a problem
‘Cause they never go away
I know I am so self-obsessed
I guess but there's no hope
And I hope it's just a phase
I grow
Well I could look for inspiration
Find it in the job of an English nation
But wouldn't that be cheap and ill-informed
And I could bet you don't believe me
If I said it came from deep within me
But I promise you I'm telling you the truth
And I, I don't really care about
Anybody else when I haven't got my own life figured out
‘Cause when you're 24 and young and bored
And don't know who you are no more
There's no hope and it's hard to come of age
I think it's a problem
‘Cause they never go away
I know I am so self-obsessed
I guess but there's no hope
And I hope it's just a phase
I grow
Well I wish I was comfortable in my own skin
But the whole thing feels like an exercise
And trying to be someone I would rather not be
I tried to second guess if you would be approving
I find my life ever so moving
Keen, wide-eyed and unassuming
Oh (okay)
There is no hope but there's desperately
No hope but there's definitely
No hope if you don't believe me
Oooh
Yeah, there is no hope but there's desperately
No hope but there's definitely
No hope if you don't believe me
Oooh but I, I don't really care about
Anybody else when I haven't got my own life figured out
‘Cause when you're 24 and young and bored
And don't know who you are no more
There's no hope and it's hard to come of age
I think it's a problem
‘Cause they never go away
I know I am so self-obsessed
I guess but there's no hope
And I hope it's just a phase
I grow
There is no hope
I know it's a problem
But they never goes my way
I know I am so self-obsessed
I guess but there's no hope
And I hope it's just a phase
Hanging out some
Underneath European sun
Hanging out under your thumb
Under it, second to none
I don't mind about taking it slow
I'm perfectly aware of what I'm yet to know
Mutually assumed, utterly consumed
Totally adored, Eleanor
Eleanor
Eleanor
Take it in your stride but don't string me along
I wouldn't tie you down but if you did do me wrong
Thoroughly unnerved, equally perturbed
Totally adored, Eleanor
Eleanor
Eleanor
You've seen the world
What did it look like?
You took a plane
I'll take a push bike
Run with the wolves
Calling all the wolf pack
When did you go and when did you get back?
I don't even know you
You're just someone new I don't want to talk to
You're wild, I don't find you crazy at all
You're on the rocks
Would you like to get some?
I'm kind of straight
Where do you come from?
I'm always right but what's your perception?
I'm kind of shy
Oh, didn't he mention?
I don't even know you
You're just someone new I don't want to talk to
You're wild, I don't find you crazy at all
I don't even know you
You're just someone new I don't want to talk to
You're wild, I don't find you crazy at all
I don't even know you
You're just someone new I don't want to talk to
I'm alright, why'd you ask?
I'm uptight, I guess, let it pass
I've never had much in common with you
You brought me up, gentle and mild
But I'm somebody else's
Somebody else's child
Full head of hair, bright blue eyes
I get my nose, I'm told
From my mother's side
She took a lover that she barely knew
I let you down
Wayward and wild
But I'm somebody else's
They've all got their opinions but then what do they know
If you can't go back, where the hell do you go?
Does everybody really feel as high as a kite?
Well I don't really know if they do but they might
You wanna get young but you're just getting older
And you had a fun summer but it's suddenly colder
If you want a bit of love put your head on my shoulder
It's cool
They've all got their opinions but then what do they know

If you want a bit of love put your head on my shoulder
It's cool
Half baked girl
Hey, I'm hardly surprised
Snake eyes disguise everybody's lies
Faded nail marks on pale thighs and
an awkward secret that someone denies
And now you're trying to get yourself back in
Come on in
Come on in
You wanna get young but you're just getting older
And you had a fun summer but it's suddenly colder
If you want a bit of love put your head on my shoulder
It's cool
You wanna get young but you're just getting older
And you had a fun summer but it's suddenly colder
If you want a bit of love put your head on my shoulder
Great Dane's cheekbones
Teenage hormones
Young complexion
Non-physical affection
You're a god send
Do you want a boyfriend?
Crazy crazy, easy tiger
Her mind's made up, she don't want to go steady
She's only seventeen so she's probably not ready
A-m-a-n-d-a norgaard
I saw you on a cover on cross bay boulevard
Smaller tits
And skinny framework
Tall, sharp hips
And you're all in the same work
Giving me the sweet talk
Walking down the catwalk
I want a mannequin
But she won't let me in
Her mind's made up, she don't want to go steady
She's only seventeen so she's probably not ready
A-m-a-n-d-a norgaard
I saw you on a cover on cross bay boulevard

Wrap me up in hammered velvet
Hide under the sheets with me
Get into the television
Sugarcoat Reality
Paralyse intrepidation
I'm beaten by anxiety
Lift the weight of the world, it's hanging on me
It's got my body shaking
I'm hiding in my room
It put me out and on my back
Panic attack
You know simply optimistic
and altogether overcome with self-destructive irritation
I resented everyone
I was always well-adjusted
but I'm going down a rabbit hole
further and further and further out of control
And now I'm feeling dizzy
And I'm giving up
I shut my eyes, the room went black
Panic attack
It is all-consuming
And I can't be fucked
My legs give up and I fall back
The beast in me Is caged by frail and fragile bars Restless by day And by night rants and rages at the stars God help the beast in me
The beast in me Has had to learn to live with pain And how to shelter from the rain And in the twinkling of an eye Might have to be restrained God help the beast in me
Sometimes it tries to kid me That it's just a teddy bear And even somehow manage to vanish in the air And that is when I must beware Of the beast in me that everybody knows They've seen him out dressed in my clothes Patently unclear It it's New York or New Year God help the beast in me
I let it go Didn't I say so? Yeah you should know, It's no thanks to you though When I come up (?) But you don't really get it It freaks you out Only 'cause you let it
Well the dumb industry blokes (or birds?), spread shirts, firm punks (???) The raga-rich boys making poor boys noise The living dead ain't down on luck Don't pretend you don't give a fuck
'Cause we're happening We're happening We're happening
Here, come sit down But I don't wanna bore you We don't hang out Maybe we should do When I go out, I keep my mouth shut I'm ... Everyone is cool but
I studied here two years ago, But you know all the guys I know .... and inches deep And that is why I always think (?)
We are happening We are happening We are happening
Who are you, what do you do Oh yeah, I like doing nothing too All your friend like The Gang Of Four No Nun or man've never heard 'em before
But We are happening We are happening We are happening
We are happening We are happening We are happening
That summer feeling (3X)
When there's things to do not because you gotta When you run for love not because you oughta When you trust your friends with no reason notta The joy I've named shall not be tamed
And that summer feeling is gonna haunt you one day in your life
When the cool of the pond makes you drop down on it When the smell of the lawn makes you flop down on it When the teenage car gets the cop down on it That time is here for one more year
And that summer feeling is gonna haunt you one day in your life
If you've forgotten what I'm naming You're gonna long to reclaim it one day Because that summer feeling is gonna haunt you one day in your life And if you wait until your older A sad resentment will smolder one day And then that summer feeling is gonna haunt you And that summer feeling's gonna taunt you And then that summer feeling is gonna hurt you one day in your life
When even fourth grade starts looking good Which you hated And first grade's looking good too Overrated And you boys long for some little girl that you dated Do you long for her or for the way you were? That summer feeling is gonna haunt you the rest of your life
When the Oldsmobile has got the top down on it When the catamaran has got the drop down on it When the flat of the land has got the crop down on it Some things look good before and some things never were But that summer feeling is gonna haunt you one day in your life
Well when your friends are in town and they got time for you When you and them are hanging around and they don't ignore you When you say what you will And they still adore you If thats not appealing, its that summer feeling That summer feeling is gonna haunt you one day in your life
Its gonna haunt you Its gonna taunt you You're gonna want this feeling inside one more time Its gonna haunt you Its gonna taunt you You're gonna want this feeling inside one more time
When you're hangin around the park with the water fountain And there's the little girl with the dirty ankles But she's on the swings where all the dust is kickin up And you remember the ankle locket And the way she flirted with you For all this time how come? Well that summer feeling is gonna haunt you one day in your life
You'll throw away everything for it (2X)
German friendship, cheap ship or Afghan Oober ship, where stabbed Frankie contact Pretty far hour, maybe we could I know it's open, its all good

Trading post to chup-baker blunch shows, Quite I pump at twelve cappuccinos They got away and so it should Prove your words so it's all good

And when I went for you you bit me back good went in the corner like an animal would by playing on my biggest fear I watching you walk out of here it hurts

Growing up, I'm twice the man

The angel's game, F Scott Fitzgerald

Finger pointing, pre-supposing

Is this not an inquisition baby
You're not the first I've told
That I'm gonna wake up lonely someday
And I'm gonna wake up old
You took me higher and higher and higher
But then that was a while ago
And I got a restless feeling baby
So I think it's best you know
Oh I could have done the righteous thing
But we're all gonna die someday
I'm not gonna look you in the eye
And tell you it's all okay
Runaway
It's okay
Runaway
It's okay
Now I got a new position
And it's difficult to address
There ain't no easy way of saying
That I'm getting it off my chest
You took me higher and higher and higher
So I'm sorry to be so low
But I got a restless feeling baby
And I think it's best I go
Oh I could have done the righteous thing
But we're all gonna die someday
And maybe I lack discretion darling
But I don't know what to say
Runaway
It's okay
Runaway
It's okay
Oh I could have broke your heart I guess
But what else could I have done?
And I'm looking after number one now
Baby I gotta, baby I gotta, baby I gotta run
Runaway
It's okay
Runaway
You look like you're out of season
You need height and sense of reason
You say things I'd rather not know
Coming on strong,
I ask too much though
Ahhhhhhhh, ahhhhhhh
Ahhhhhhhh, ahhhhhhh
You grew up in disarray,
I could feel another way
Do you think you'll be okay?
Hey, hey, hey
You've just gotta say
You look like you're out of season
You need height and sense of reason
You say things I'd rather not know
Coming on strong,
I ask too much though

You grew up in disarray,
I could feel another way
Do you think you'll be okay?
Hey, hey, hey

You're just a big mistake to me
You grew up in disarray,
I could feel another way
Do you think you'll be okay?
Hey, hey, hey
You've just gotta say
Hey, hey, hey
Reality bites the palm of your hand
And it cuts you down to size
Don't wanna settle down
I wanna have some fun
And I wanna indulge
Before it's too late
I want no regrets
I've done nothing yet
And any dream I have I just forget
And oh you are so defiant
And I'm not try'na change ya
I'm just looking for some bad behaviour
Oh bad behaviour
I don't wanna get old
I wanna do what I want
They're all playing it safe
You know just how you are
I try so hard
And it's never enough
Is it ever enough
Do you think?
Cos life's so tame
And it's so mundane
And it's so
Oh I don't know
And oh you are so defiant
And I'm not try'na change ya
I'm just looking for some bad behaviour
Oh bad behaviour
And if I told you

If I told you
I'm uncontrollable I know
No matter what I do
You'll see straight through
Cos you're too
Much like me
And oh you are so defiant
And I'm not try'na change ya
I'm just looking for some bad behaviour
Oh bad behaviour
And oh you are so defiant
And I'm not try'na change ya
I'm just looking for some bad behaviour
Oh bad behaviour
Do ya do ya do ya think of speaking your mind
or is it openly as lonely as it is cold
& Do ya do ya do ya wanna get away
or is it better off in the balance anyway
later on or yeah whatever
I see now your beauty never ends
what the hell you do it's up to you
now you've got to see it through
tell the man you've had a change of heart
do you make light of a bad situation
by burring your head under the sand
and eat the apple of your eye
just because your mouth was dry
oh well
doesn't really matter what you need
but honest is paramount
just tell the man you've had a change of heart
bullet hits the wall and you'll play along
give someone a answer and they'll think of one
find yourself somewhere you have never been before
ohhhhhhhhhhh
give it time there's no appeal
you can bite the bullet, or just do it in a minute
Oh I,
How can I go on with it much further?
I didn't think that it would go any further,
But now it has and it's making me nervous,
A wonderful motion,
That is turning in your every motion,
Oh I,
I think I might be losing my mind
Because
When I hear a melody calling,
Is your melody calling?
Isn't anyone calling?
Oh I,
I just did an undeniable order,
I hear it moving under the border,
Cussing the ocean,
And calling in your every motion
I think I might be losing my mind,
When I hear a melody calling,
Is your melody calling?
Isn't anyone calling?
When I hear a melody calling,
Is your melody calling?
But I get angrier with age
Better to be ready if you rattle my cage
Oh, you look disappointed in me
Oh, am I not as thoughtful as you thought I'd be?
Yeah, I know I'm always giving you the third degree,
But you look disappointed in me
Now I'm in a bad, bad mood, a bad, bad mood
If at some point we all succumb
For goodness sake, let us be young
'Cause time gets harder to outrun
And I'm nobody, I'm not done
With a cool, cool breeze and dirty knees
I rest on childhood memories
We all got old at breakneck speed
Slow it down, go easy on me, go easy on me
Put a wetsuit on, come on, come on
Grow your hair out long, come on, come
Put a T-shirt on
Do me wrong, do me wrong, do me wrong
If it's up and after you
What do you suppose that you would do?
You're all whacked out from lack of sleep
You blame it on the friends you keep
If you want to do things differently
Go, do them independently
We all got old at breakneck speed
Slow it down, go easy on me, go easy on me
Put a wetsuit on, come on, come on
Grow your hair out long, come on, come
Put a T-shirt on
Do me wrong, do me wrong, do me wrong
Put a wetsuit on, come on, come on
Grow your hair out long, come on, come
Put a T-shirt on
Do me wrong, do me wrong, do me wrong
Does holy water make you pure?
Submerged, your vision's just obscured
You're a lot like me, in upto our knees
In over, your chest is way too deep
Put a wetsuit on, come on, come on
Grow your hair out long, come on, come
Put a T-shirt on
Do me wrong, do me wrong, do me wrong
Put a wetsuit on, come on, come on
Grow your hair out long, come on, come
Put a T-shirt on
Oh look at me, so ordinary,
No mystery with no great capabilities
But I could make out as if I had it but you know
God, I'm so obvious and I should let it go
Oh I don't know, oooh
I'm no teenage icon
I'm no Frankie Avalon
I'm nobody's hero, oooh
Preserved and shy, your average guy
No piercing stare, just out of shape with messy hair
But I always figured I was somebody in wake,
And now I'm guessing that my woman must be late
'cause I need her, oooh
I'm no teenage icon
I'm no Frankie Avalon
I'm nobody's hero, oooh
I'm not magnetic or mythical
I'm suburban and typical
But I've got it, I've got it,
I'm overrun with it all, oooh
Seductive charm, a way with words
So effortless, not leather clad or dangerous
But I always did it like a real rebel would,
I had a photo where John Lennon may have stood,
or so I'm told, oooh
I'm no teenage icon
I'm no Frankie Avalon
I'm nobody's hero, oooh
I'm no teenage icon
I'm no Frankie Avalon
I don't wanna talk about things we've gone through, Though it's hurting me, now it's history. I've played all my cards and that's what you've done too, Nothing more to say, no more ace to play. The winner takes it all, The loser standing small beside the victory, that's her destiny.
I was in your arms thinking I belonged there, I figured it made sense, building me a fence, Building me a home, thinking I'd be strong there, But I was a fool, playing by the rules. The gods may throw a dice, their minds as cold as ice, And someone way down here loses someone dear.
The winner takes it all, the loser has to fall, It's simple and it's plain, why should I complain.
But tell me, does she kiss like I used to kiss you, Does it feel the same when she calls your name. Somewhere deep inside you must know I miss you, But what can I say, rules must be obeyed. The judges will decide the likes of me abide, Spectators of the show always staying low.
The game is on again, a lover or a friend, A big thing or a small, the winner takes it all.
Well, I don't wanna wake up in the mornin',
But I've got to face the day.
That's what all the friends I do not like as much as you say.
I don't wanna do things independently,
But I can't make you stay.
That's what all the friends I do not like as much as you say.
But if you wanna come back it's alright, it's alright!
It's alright if you wanna come back!
If you wanna come back it's alright, it's alright!
It's alright if you wanna come back to me!
Well, I don't wanna see you with another guy,
But the fact is that I may.
That's what all the friends I do not like as much as you say.
We'll give it just another couple of months or so,
And then you'll be okay.
That's what all the friends I do not like as much as you say.
All alone, all alone!
I, I am on my own.
Alone, all alone.
I, I am on my own.
But if you wanna come back it's alright, it's alright!
It's alright if you wanna come back!
If you wanna come back it's alright, it's alright!
It's alright if you wanna come back to me!
But if you wanna come back it's alright, it's alright!
It's alright if you wanna come back!
If you wanna come back it's alright, it's alright!
It's alright if you wanna come back!
Do you wanna come back? It's alright, it's alright!
It's alright if you wanna come back!
Do you wanna come back? It's alright, it's alright!
It's only been a year
But it feels like a lifetime here
How's it been for you?
Does it feel like a lifetime too?
What would you do now in light of it all?
I don't regret it in spite of it all
If I can't convince you then nobody can I guess
I've got too much time on my hands
But you don't understand
Or you won't understand
Would I make it right?
Would it make you less uptight?
What would it achieve?
What should I put up my sleeve?
What did you think would come out of it all?
That we'd quit pretending we doubted it all?
Oh you don't make me nervous, hell nobody does these days
I've got too much time on my hands
But you don't understand
Or you won't understand
I've got too much time on my hands
But you don't understand
Or you won't understand
Are you ready, are you ready, are you ready for this?
Should I shake your hand or should I give you a kiss?
Is this everything you always hoped it would be?
We'll see...
I've got too much time on my hands
But you don't understand
Or you won't understand
I've got too much time on my hands
But you don't understand
I can barely look at you
don't tell me who you lost it to
didn't we say we had a deal
didn't i say how bad i feel
Everyone needs a helping hand
who said i would not understand
someone up the social scale
for when your going off the rail
Post break up sex that helps you forget your ex
what did you expect from post breakup sex
Leave it till the guilt consumes
I found you in the nearest room
all our friends were unaware
most just passed out downstairs
to think I hoped you'd be okay
but now cant think of what to say
Maybe I misunderstood
but i cant believe your feeling good
from post break up sex
that helps you forget your ex
what did you expect from post break up sex
Post break up sex that helps you forget your ex
what did you expect from post break up sex
Oh when you love somebody but you find someone (uh huh huh)
and it all unravels and comes undone (uh huh huh, uh huh huh, uh huh huh)
Post break up sex that helps you forget your ex
what did you expect from post break up sex
Post break up sex that helps you forget your ex
