The Strokes - The Modern Age lyrics

Up on a hill is where we begin

This little story a long time ago

Stop to pretend, stop pretending

It seems this game is simply never-ending

Oh, in the sun, son 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

Leavin' 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

Our fears are different here

We train in A-V-A

I wish you hadn't stayed

My vision's clearer now, but I'm unafraid

Flying overseas, no time to feel the breeze

I took too many varieties

Oh, in the sun, son having fun

It's in my blood

I just can't help it

Don't want you here right now

Let me go

Darling let me go

Leaving just in time

Staying 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
