Soma

Album: Is This It (2001)

  • Soma is what they would take when
    Hard times opened their eyes
    Saw pain in a new way
    High stakes for a few names
    Racing against sunbeams
    Losing against fig trees
    In your eyes

    And I am
    Stop
    And go
    In your eyes
    See, I am
    Stop
    And go
    In your eyes

    Let's go

    When I saw her for the first time
    Lips moved as her eyes closed
    Heard something in his voice
    "And I'll be there," he says
    Then he walks out
    Somehow he was tryin'
    Too hard to be like them

    And I am
    Stop
    And go
    In your eyes
    And I am
    Stop
    Oh, darlin' let me go

    Tried it once and they liked it
    And tried to hide it
    Says, "I've been doin' this twenty-five years"
    Well, I'm not listenin' no more
    And these friends, they keep asking for more
    Oh, yeah
    Oh, but that's it Writer/s: Julian Casablancas
