Lyrics
[Verse 1]
If we don't watch the sun, it will rise
If we don't take our time, it's not wise
Putting posters up for your band
(Hey were playing a show tonight, you wanna come by?)
Now, I tear them down with my hand
[Verse 2]
I didn't want to notice
Didn't know the gun was loaded
Didn't really know this
What kind of asshole drives a Lotus?
[Verse 3]
Come here and go get with me
I wanna see you Wednesday
Come on, come on, come over
Take it off your shoulder
Come on and pull me over
We gotta get to work now
Sliding it off your shoulder
As we're falling over
[Verse 4]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, oh, welcome to Japan
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, Scuba dancing, touchdown
[Verse 5]
I didn't want to notice
Didn't know the gun was loaded
Didn't really know this
What kind of asshole drives a Lotus?
[Verse 6]
I didn't wanna bore ya
Didn't wanna pick up your shit for ya
I been ready to do this
I'll be there
[Verse 7]
Come here and go get with me
I wanna see you Wednesday
Come on, come on, come over
Take it off your shoulder
Come on and pull me over
We gotta get to work now
Sliding it off your shoulder
As we're falling over
[Verse 8]
You did it alone, you did it for fun
You did it for everyone who's on the run
You're not just a friend, you'll be born again
We'll be in this race until the very end
He lives on the phone, he cheats on his clone
You'll never believe me till you're on your own
[Verse 9]
Comes in once a month, and he never leaves
He'll say that he's broken, and he looks for me
Didn't wanna floor ya
I didn't wanna be there for ya
I didn't wanna warn ya
I'll be there
