Kick it off

Kick it off with a record time, tie breaking lullaby,
By then you'll sing it. Can you sing it?
Hopes galore in 1985, before the starting line, but now we bring it.
Can you bring it?

I thought I could write about anything, but you cut me off,
Forbidding using your name.
Your letter is full of code I haven't figured out,
And what you heard about isn't adding up the amount you spent
Uninviting...
You could hold a candle to the city.
I'm watching all your bridges burn.
Bad timing, either better pull yourself together
Or fall apart while waiting your turn.
So turn me off when the lights go down.
Sing me a song that will put me to sleep.
Nightly routine, dream your night on the town.
Hold in all your thoughts. I don't talk while I'm out.

Kick it off with a record time, tie breaking lullaby,
By then you'll sing it. Can you sing it?
Hopes galore in 1985, before the starting line, but now we bring it.
Can you bring it?

All I ever wanted was to keep you to myself,
But you're the talk of the town. A clever story, so long, farewell.
I'll leave you living a lonely night
And you could hold a candle to the city,
I'm watching all your bridges burn.
Bad timing, either better pull yourself together
Or fall apart whil waiting your turn.
Turns out we didn't go down!
I'll sing you a song, make you wish it was deep.
Typical girl in a typical town...
Lesson of the day is what I'm really about.

I was only under the impression you were waiting for nothing,
But nothing turned out to be.
A better life and nothing less
Than what I'm leaving behind and what I'm putting behind me.
I thought I could write about anything
I thought I could write about anything
You cold only hold me for a number of days.
But we're over now that I'm on my way.

Kick it off with a record time, tie breaking lullaby,
By then you'll sing it. Can you sing it?
Hopes galore in 1985, before the starting line, but now we bring it.
Can you bring it to life?

Kick it off with a record time, tie breaking lullaby,

Hopes galore in 1985, before the starting line, but now we bring it.
Can you bring it to life?
To life?
To life?
