Lyrics: These couple of sentences at the beginning are off a movie called Beautiful
Girls.
These sentences arent on the album version. Makes the song stand out.
A beautiful girl can make you dizzy,
like youve been drinking Jack and Coke all morning.
She can make you feel high,
full of the single greatest commodity known to man: promise.
The promise of a better day.
The promise of a greater hope.
The promise of a new tomorrow.
This particular aura can be found in the gait of a beautiful girl,
in her smile, and in her soul.
And the way she makes every rotten little thing in life seem
like its gonna be okay.
September never stays this cold
where I come from
And you know
Im not one for complaining,
But I love the way youd roll
excuses off the tip of your tongue
as I slowly fall apart (slowly, quietly, slowly)
fall apart
This wont mean a thing come tomorrow
and thats exactly how Ill make it seem
Cause Im still not sleeping,
thinking Ive crawled home from worse than this
So please, please (please)
Im running out of sympathy (Im running out of sympathy)
and I never said Id take this
I never said Id take this lying down
She says
come on, come on, lets just get this over with?
She says
come on, come on, lets just get this over with?
(I never said Id take this lying down, lets just get this over with,
and Ive crawled home from worse than this)
She says
come on, come on, lets just get this over with?
She says
come on, come on..
You always come close but this never comes easy,
I still know everything
You always come close but this never comes easy,
I still know everything
You always come close but this never comes easy,
I still know everything
You always come so close...
I still know everything, I still know everything, I still know...
You always come close but this never comes easy
You always come close but this never comes easy
You always come... you come in close
I never said Id take this lying down
I never said Id take this lying down
I never said Id take this lying down
but Ive crawled home from worse than this
If its not keeping you up nights
then whats the point
then whats the point
then whats the point
then whats the point
Im in your room
now is this turning you on
am I turning you on?
Im in your room
are you turned on?
Im on the corner of your bed,
Im practically naked,
are you turned on,
are you turned on?
I hope this tab help you guys out. Cheers, Liam.
