"The Modern Age (EP Version)" lyrics

"The Modern Age (EP Version)"

Up on a hill, here's where we begin
This little story, a long time ago
Start 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-g-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'll pretend I'm leaving!

I feel so different now, we trained at A-V-A
I wish you hadn't stayed, my vision's clearer now but I'm unafraid
Flying overseas, no time to feel the breeze
Too many varieties

Well, 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, oh
Oh, let me g-g-g-g-g-g-g-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
