Julian Casablancas
The Modern Age
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
It's in my blood
I just can't help it
Don't want you here right now
Let me go, 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
I wish you hadn't stayed
My vision's clearer now, but I'm unafraid

Oh, in the sun
It's in my blood
I just can't help it
Don't want you here right now
Let me go, 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 this is why I'm leaving

Let me go, let me go
Let me go, let me go
Let me go, let me go
Let me go, let me go
