  • Oh b-baby, don't you be so mad because I barely remember
    And she tries to recognize me with the eyes she saw me with in December
    And she's starting to realize that it's actually not a good thing
    And it's so tough because you're down to go out again and have another adventure
    All her friends in the alleyway shout back but she can't hear them

    But you're never gonna get my love
    We can only play in the sun
    Get up in the morning and run
    You'll be frustrated 'til the day that you're done

    He got punched in the mouth for sticking his nose in other people's business
    No good solution, always on the verge of some revolution
    Well tough luck, it may take a thousand years, but I think we can do it
    Best friends fight but they never enjoy life as good as when they abuse it
    He said, "The soldier is a necessity in light of all the failures of man", yeah

    But you're never gonna get their love
    We can only fight in the sand
    You get tired when the days are too long
    You get lonely when the days are gone

    He could never mention it out here and now
    Without quick tears in his eyes, ooh

    'Cause you're never gonna get my love
    We can only play in the sun
    You get tired when the days are too long
    You get lonely when the days are gone
    Oh, you're never gonna get this love
    We can roll around in the dark
    That's about as far as we go
    Get up in the morning and run Writer/s: Fabrizio Morretti, Julian Casablancas, Nick Valensi
