VERSE
What Ever Happened?
The Strokes
I want to be forgotten,
and I don't want to be reminded.
You say "please don't make this harder."
No, I won't yet.
I wanna be beside her.
She wanna be admired.
You say "please don't make this harder."
No, I won't yet.
Oh dear, is it really all true?
Did they offend us and they want it to sound new?
Top ten ideas for countdown shows...
Whose culture is this and does anybody know?
I wait and tell myself "life ain't chess,"
But no one comes in and yes, you're alone...
You don't miss me, I know.
Oh Tennessee, what did you write?
I come together in the middle of the night.
Oh that's an ending that I can't write, 'cause
I've got you to let me down.
I want to be forgotten,
and I don't want to be reminded.
You say "please don't make this harder."
No, I won't yet.
I want to be beside her.
She wanna be admired.
You say "please don't make this harder."
No, I won't yet...
