[Verse 1]
Well time just ticks on - get out the way
But we just keep on pressin’ play
The precious time it slips away
[Chorus]
Hey wait - it’s gettin’ late
Don’t go - we’ll miss the show
Can’t sit and waste the time
Standin’ in that stupid line
Daydreams freeze the scene
These tears will wash us clean
These tears will wash us clean, oh
But now it’s over
[Verse 2]
Well the pressure’s mountin’ everyday
But still we find a way to say
Come what will, come what may
[Chorus]
Hey wait - it’s gettin’ late
Don’t go - we’ll miss the show
Can’t sit and waste the time
Standin’ in that stupid line
Daydreams freeze the scene
These tears will wash us clean
These tears will wash us clean, oh
[Bridge]
But now it’s over ohhh
Ohhhhh ohhhhhh ohhhhhh
Ohhhhh ohhhhhh ohhhhhh
[Chorus]

[Anna Karina in Vivre sa vie]
J’oublie que je suis responsable mais je le suis. Non, c’est ce que je disais : vouloir s'évader c'est de la blague. Après tout, tout est beau, il y a qu’à s’intéresser aux choses et les trouver belles.
I forget that I’m responsible but I am. No, it’s like I was saying: wanting to escape is a joke. After all, everything is beautiful, you just have to take interest in things and find them beautiful.
[Verse 1]
She gave me butterflies every time
And didn’t have to try
She made me lose my mind every time
And didn’t have to try
[Chorus]
How long ‘til you’re bored with this
metamorphosis?
How long ‘til you’re bored with this
faded elegance
[Verse 2]
Some days I utter lies every time
And I don’t have to try
Some days I lose my mind drinking wine
And I don’t have to try
[Chorus]
How long ‘til you’re bored with this
metamorphosis?
How long ‘til you’re bored with this
faded elegance

Those Days

[Chorus]
Well those days came and they left you there
Ohhh it was unfair
Well those days came and they left you there
Ohhh too hard to bear
[Verse]
Back home after many years
Is it time to face my fears?
And before these memories
Nostalgia takes its toll on me
And what’s past was never meant to last
[Chorus]
Well those days came and they left you there
Ohhh it was unfair
Well those days came and they left you there
Ohhh too hard to bear

[Verse 1]
We just won’t let go
The years begin to show
We can’t forget – oh no
When did time start to slow?
[Chorus]
Oh lord, tell us how we’ve strayed
Would we wanna go back anyway?
The hourglass has melted away
The sun’s burning us and we can’t stay
No we can’t stay
Oh no
[Verse 2]
The days begin to blur
How’d we lose what we were?
Did we forget for sure?
Nothing left is obscure
[Chorus]
Oh lord, tell us how we’ve strayed
Would we wanna go back anyway?
The hourglass has melted away
The sun’s burning us and we can’t stay
[Outro]
No we can’t stay
No we won’t let go
No exits around
The fuse set to blow
