The Modern Age - The Strokes

Up on a hill, here’s where we begin

This little story, a long time ago

Stop to pretend, stop reaching in

It seems this game is simply neverending

Oh in the sun shine 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 go go go go go go go 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 now1

We trained at AVA

I wish you hadn’t stayed

My visions clearer now but I’m unafraid

Flyin' over seas, no time to feel the breeze

I took too many varieties

Oh in the sun shine having fun, it’s in my blood

I just can’t help it, don’t want you here right now

Let me go, wooooooooo

Darling let me go go go go go go go 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
