[Verse 1]
Up on a hill, that's 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
Let me a go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go.
[Chorus]
Leavin' 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'm leaving
[Verse 2]
Our fears are different now
We train in 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
I took too many varieties
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
Darlin', let me go.
[Chorus]
Up on a hill, that's 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
Let me a go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go.
[Chorus]
Leavin' 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'm leaving
[Verse 2]
Our fears are different now
We train in 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
I took too many varieties
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
Darlin', let me go.
[Chorus]
Track 2 on Is This It
About The Modern Age
The Modern Age stomps like a renegade elephant with bashed kickdrums and turbulent guitar riffs while Casablancas passionately reels off in an unsteady sing-speak that invokes all the right elements of a great rock leadman.
