The Strokes - The Modern Age lyrics

Up on a hill, here's where we begin
This little story, a long time ago
Start to pretend, stop pretending
It seems this game is simply never-ending

Oh, in the sun, sun, having fun
It's in my blood i just can't help it
Don't want you here right now, let me go
Oh, let me g-g-g-g-g-g-g-go

Leaving just in time, stay there for a while
Rolling in the ocean, trying to catch her eye
Work hard and say it's easy
Do it just to please, me
Tomorrow will be different
So I'll pretend I'm leaving

I feel so different now, we trained at A-V-A
I wish you hadn't stayed
My vision's clearer now but I'm unafraid
Flying overseas, no time to feel the breeze


I took too many varieties

Oh, in the sun, sun, having fun
It's in my blood i just can't help it
Don't want you here right now, let me go
Woo! Darling, let me g-g-g-g-g-g-g-go

Leaving just in time, stay there for a while
Rolling in the ocean, trying to catch her eye
Work hard and say it's easy
Do it just to please, me
Tomorrow will be different
So this is why I'm leaving
