Kick it off with a record time, tie breaking lullaby
By then you'll sing it. Can you sing it?
Hopes galore in 1985, before the starting line, but now we bring it
Can you bring it?

I thought I could write about anything, but you cut me off
Forbidding using your name
Your letter is full of code I haven't figured out
And what you heard about isn't adding up the amount you spent
Uninviting...
You could hold a candle to the city
I'm watching all your bridges burn
Bad timing, either better pull yourself together
Or fall apart while waiting your turn
So turn me off when the lights go down
Sing me a song that will put me to sleep
Nightly routine, dream your night on the town
Hold in all your thoughts. I don't talk while I'm out

Kick it off with a record time, tie breaking lullaby
By then you'll sing it. Can you sing it?
Hopes galore in 1985, before the starting line, but now we bring it
Can you bring it?

All I ever wanted was to keep you to myself
But you're the talk of the town. A clever story, so long, farewell
I'll leave you living a lonely night
And you could hold a candle to the city
I'm watching all your bridges burn
Bad timing, either better pull yourself together
Or fall apart whil waiting your turn
Turns out we didn't go down!
I'll sing you a song, make you wish it was deep
Typical girl in a typical town...
Lesson of the day is what I'm really about

I was only under the impression you were waiting for nothing
But nothing turned out to be
A better life and nothing less
Than what I'm leaving behind and what I'm putting behind me
I thought I could write about anything
I thought I could write about anything
You cold only hold me for a number of days
But we're over now that I'm on my way

Kick it off with a record time, tie breaking lullaby
By then you'll sing it. Can you sing it?
Hopes galore in 1985, before the starting line, but now we bring it
Can you bring it to life?

Kick it off with a record time, tie breaking lullaby
By then you'll sing it. Can you sing it?
Hopes galore in 1985, before the starting line, but now we bring it
Can you bring it to life?
To life?
To life?
