Great Romances of the 20th Century Songtext

von Taking Back Sunday

A beautiful girl can make you dizzy,
Like you've been drinking jack and coke all morning,
She can make you feel high,
Full of the single most commodity known to man,
Promise,
Promise of a better day,
Promise of a greater hope,
Promise of a new tomorrow,
This particular awe can be found in the gate of a beautiful girl,
In her smile, and in her soul,
And the way she makes every rotten little thing about life seem like its
Gonna be ok.
(Michael Rappaport from "Beautiful Girls")

September never stays this cold,
Where I come from,
And you know,
I'm not one for complaining,
But I love the way you?d roll excuses off the tip of your tongue as I slowly fall apart.
Fall apart.

This won't mean a thing come tomorrow,
And that's exactly how I'll make it seem.,
Cause I'm still not sleeping
Thinking I've crawled home from worse than this.

So please,
Please,
I'm running out of sympathy.
And I never said I'd take this,
I never said I'd take this lying down.

She says "c?mon, c'mon, let's just get this over with.?
She says "c?mon, c'mon, let's just get this over with.?
I never said I'd take this lying down,
Lets get this over with.

You've always come close but you never come easy,
And I still know everything.
You've always come close but you never come easy,
And I still know everything.
You've always come close but you never come easy,
And I still know everything.

I never said I'd take this lying down.
I never said I'd take this lying down.
I never said I'd take this lying down,
But I've crawled home from worse than this.

If it's not keeping you up nights,
Then what's the point,
Then what's the point,
Then what's the point
Then what's the point?

I'm in your room,
Now is this turning you on,
Am I turning you on?

I'm in your room,
Are you turned on?

I'm on the corner of your bed,
I'm practically naked,
Are you turned on,
Are you turned on?
