Is This It lyrics

No choice now, it's too late
Let him go, he gave up
No he gave up
Lisa said Take time for me
Dropping him down to his knees
Oh chest down

Take me away, see I've got to explain
Things they have changed in such a permanent way
Life seems unreal, can we go back to your place
Ah you drink too much, makes me drink just the same

People try, felt so right
Giving themselves good advice

I didn't take no shortcuts
I spent the money that I saved up
Oh, my ol Momma's running out of luck
Like my sister don't give a fuck

I wanna steal your innocence
To me my life it dont make sense
Those strange manners, oh I love 'em so
why wont you wear your new trench coat

I shoulda worked much harder
I shoulda just not bothered
I never show up on weekdays

Was an honest man
Asked me for the phone
Tried to take control
Oh, I don't see it that way
I don't see it that way

Oh, we shared some ideas
All obsessed with fame
Says we're all the same
Oh, I don't see it that way
I don't see it that way

raised in carolina
I'm not like that
Trying to remind her
When we go back

I miss the last bus, I take the next train
I try but you see it's hard to explain

Can't you see I'm trying, I don't even like it
I just lie to get to your apartment
Now I'm staying there just for a while
I can't think 'cause I'm just way too tired

Is this it
Is this it
Is this it

Said they'd give you anything you ever wanted
When they lied I knew they were just stable
Children trying hard not to realise I was sitting right behind

Dear can't you see, it's them it's not me

Last night, she said
Oh, baby, I feel so down
Oh, it turns me off
When I feel left out
So I, turned around
Oh, baby, don't care no more
I know this for sure
I'm walking out that door

Well I've been in town for just about fifteen minutes now
And baby I feel so down
And I don't know why
I've been walking for miles

And people they don't understand

Oh! I meant - Ah!
No, I didn't mean that at all.

Here in the streets so mechanised
Rise to the bottom of the meaning of life
Studied all the rules didn't want no part
But I let you in just to break this heart
Even though it was only one night
It was fucking strange

Nina's in the bedroom
She said time to go now
But leavin' it ain't easy
I got to let go
I got to let go
And the hours they ran slow

Soma is what they would take when hard times opened their eyes
Saw pain in a new way
High stakes for a few names
Racing with the sunbeams
Losing against their dreams
In our eyes
I am
Stop
And go
In your eyes,
Said I am
Stop
And go
In your eyes

Let's go

When I saw her for the first time
Lips moved as her eyes closed
Heard something in his voice
"And I'll be there" he says
And he walks out

In many ways they'll miss the good old days
Someday, someday
Yeah it hurts to say but I want you to stay
Sometimes, sometimes
When we was young ah man did we have fun
Always, always
Promises they break before they're made
Sometimes, sometimes

Oh my ex says I'm lacking in depth
I will do my best
You say you want to stay by my side
Darling your head's not right

Leave me alone
I'm in control
I'm in control
And girls lie too much
And boys act too tough
Enough is enough
When on the minds of other men
I know she was

I said just take it or leave it
And take it or leave it
And take it or leave it
And take it or leave it
Oh, just take it or leave it
And take it or leave it
Oh, take it

Oh that's right

Oh, he's gonna let you down
He's gonna let you down

Up on a hill is where we begin
This little story a long time ago
Start to pretend, stop pretending
It seems this game is simply never ending

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, oh, let me g-g-g-g-g-g-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

You said you couldn't stay
You've seen it all before, I know
And sold you on their way
Oh honey that's ok

No harm, he's armed
Settin' off all your alarms
When I find out
I hope it's you who set this trap

And stuffers rarely change
At least I'm on my own again instead of
Anywhere with you
Oh tell me it's all the same

And I've lost my place again
I know this is surreal

I didn't take no shortcuts

I spent the money that I saved up

Oh, Momma running out of luck

Like my sister, don't give a fuck

Oh his strange manners, I love 'em so

"I wish you'd wear your new trench coat"

I don't show up on weekdays

That's something that you learned yesterday

I just want to misbehave

I just want to be your slave

You ain't got nothing I want, but...

Last night, she said:

"Oh, baby, I feel so down.

Oh it turns me off,

When I feel left out"

So I walked out:

"Little girl, I don't care no more

I know this for sure

I'm walking out that door"

Well, I've been in town for just now fifteen minutes now

And baby, I feel so down

And I don't know why

I keep walkin' for miles

And people they don't understand

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

In the sun, sun having fun
It's in my blood

I just can't help it

Don't want you to say, "No"

Let me go, oh, let me g-g-g-g-g-g-go

Leavin' just in time

Stay there for a while

Rolling in the ocean

Trying to catch her eye

Won't decide, but he won't debate

Said, "Thanks my friend," but he was too late

Oh why, oh why

I don't know
So you think things move pretty fast down here

Well just wait my dear 'till you look up there

Oh maybe someday you'll know

Had his second kid, was an early night

Got to be well dressed 'cause he hates to fly

Oh loves his job, takes it home

Anything they wanted
