the Strokes

Modern Age

Up on a hill, here's where we begin
This little story, a long time ago
Start to pretend, start pretending
It seems this game is simply neverending

Oh in the sun sun having fun, it's in my blood
I just can't help it, don't want you here right now
Let me go
Let me go go go go go go go go

Leaving 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

I feel so different now
We trained at AVA
I wish you hadn't stayed
My visions clearer now but I'm unafraid
Flyin' over seas, no time to feel the breeze
I took too many varieties

Oh in the sun sun having fun, it's in my blood
I just can't help it, don't want you here right now
Let me go, wooooooooo
Darling let me go go go go go go go go

Leaving 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
