Lyrics

Counting all different ideas drifting away Past and present, they don't matter Now the future's sorted out Watch her moving in elliptical pattern Think it's not what you say What you say is way too complicated For a minute, thought I couldn't tell how to fall out It's twenty seconds 'til the last call, going, "Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey" Lie down, you know it's easy like we did it all summer long And I'll be anything you ask and more, going "Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey" It's not a miracle we needed, and no I wouldn't let you think so Fold it, fold it, fold it, fold it Fold it, fold it, fold it, fold it Girlfriend, oh, your girlfriend's drifting away Past and present, 1855-1901 Watch them build up a material tower Think it's not gonna stay anyway Think it's overrated For a minute, thought I couldn't tell how to fall out It's twenty seconds 'til the last call, going, "Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey" Lie down, you know it's easy like we did it all summer long And I'll be anything you ask and more, going "Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey" It's not a miracle we needed, and no I wouldn't let you think so Fold it, fold it, fold it, fold it Fold it, fold it, fold it, fold it Fold it, fold it, fold it, fold it Fold it, fold it, fold it, fold it
