falling out of love

The Strokes

Took you out to my hometown
Where I learned to be alone
Ridin up the mountainside
Where all the world s here
Linger on to praise the dawn
Different boots, same old song
I m in love with a ghost
Be always and never alone

I denied, for a while
Fallin out of love for the first time
Some things are flawed by design
But I m fine for the first time
Dancin in acid rain alone it s new
But I don t wanna do it anymore
I guess I ll sing alone

There once was a boy turned to Lucifer
He haunted many spaces, got lost down many streets
Mmm, sailed the seven seas, hunted wild rhinocer-es
Please don t call me, Man,
I m no fancy fallen angel
Finally fell in love, finally found some relief
Finally found his lover in the arms of a thief
Mostly found an angle,
Holding on for now

And denied, for a while
Fallin out of love for the first time
Some things are flawed by design
But I m fine for the first time
Dancin in acid rain, alone it s new
But I don t wanna do it anymore
I guess I ll sing alone

Two things can be true,
Good times I had wit you
To the cozy, cotton bedded sheets at night
Looked dread
Past the hall of judging heads,
Family portraits of the dead
I know they felt the same power
Sitting in the shadow, count my blessings
No one gotta find out why
I guess you wanna know
In a way, this could be big news

Not a crime, not a lie
Fallin out of love for the first time
Some thing s flawed or by design
But I m fine for the first time
Dancin in acid rain, alone with you
But I don t wanna face it anymore, know I m immature
Over time, overnight
Cause I can t go through it anymore
Hollywood here I come
I know what it was, why it was
Lookin for something else

Someone please call it in on the radio
We got a problem here
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Be an adult, you re bein a child
No one wants to play
Grindin your gear
I know it s not enough
We didn t wanna hear another lecturing
Oh, puttin on a show
Grindin your gear
