lyrics

it beats sticking around here,
hanging in your bedroom clothes
starting out the day with these cathode rays
telling us, we can't stop–oh, why can't we stop
we've got to find a way out of here
before we get caught up
in the comfort of being alone

it's like u got me a rose
and now u can't let it go, I suppose
it was oh–only a weekend ago
and now ur giving it back,
because u can't have a dose, and she knows
she hopes ur being logical now

why take it back?
all that we had, u had me
u already had me and u already said u'd wait-
there's a way
there's a love, we're after life–we are after the good life

it's worth sticking around for,
so get yourself another drink
what's another day with these cathode rays
telling us, we can't stop–oh, why can't we stop
something something
like some ancient culture
calling out your name

oh god, you're heavy to toss
and now you're changing the locks
and it's shocking, it's not
turning out quite like I thought
what was I to do,
and better yet what from here?
do you hear me, if you
have any thoughts I'm all ears

why take it back
you've had this sand
in your eye since we met oh wait–
there's a way
there's a love, we're after life
we are after the good life
