Clap Your Hands Say Yeah - New Fragility lyrics

Artist: Clap Your Hands Say Yeah

album: New Fragility (Deluxe Edition)


I was the last to know
As the paint, it dried on the pavement
And now I'm waiting for
Anyone at all
You had the wrong idea
Although the birds, they once called your name
And if they called mine, too
I didn't hear them
I wouldn't know

What did the sirens sing?
And did the hospital take you in?
You played with fireworks, with daddy's drugs
On a holiday, you said you just needed to get away
Taking some midnight ride out to Long Beach Island
Stranded, half-naked on a strange man's couch
No hearts are broken when there's no one to let down
In a while, I'm gonna wish it was over
Oh, in a while, I'll get so stupid and young
In a while, I'll come to remember
I never want to take another chance on anyone

Just when I thought it was the end
You say, "Who am I to you now?"
And with the tables turned
Would I run?
Would I cry?
Will I ever really learn to love someone across the sea?
She is waiting there for me
While I'm running ever softly, ever softly, ever softly away
In a while, I'm gonna wish it was over
Oh, in a while, I'll get so stupid and young
In a while, I will come to remember
I never wanna take another chance on anyone
And honestly I was not trying to deceive
Sometimes I can't believe the things myself
I wanna leave the things I'd never intended
Never set foot inside this burning house again
