This is not the time, the time to start a new love This is not the time, the time to sign a lease Try not to worry about whats forgotten Try not to worry about whats been missed Scars on shins and scars on my knuckles Today I woke up in a basketball court Jonjo′s in Sydney and he aint returning Im sitting in soho trying to stay drunk
In any bar in the world From Silverlake to Williamsburg You could pick another stranger And fall in love
My mercury′s in retrograde
This is not the time, the tie to start a new love This is not the time, the time to sign a lease Try not to worry about whats forgotten Try not to worry about whats been missed Bleeding gums and veins protruding You′re starting to hate all of your clothes Neumayrs in LA and she aint returning Im sleeping with people I don′t even like
My mercury′s in retrograde
When I say you last night I wanted to say, run away with me Away from the cynics That this could be the start of Something truly real... But all that I could say was "hey"
I′ve got myself In a masochistic hold Why don′t you let go Shake it off Just to redirect my flow Come on let′s go
Sit up straight I′m on a double date I′ve got to find my way Into the light, heavy, middle weight We don′t stop rock around the clock Motor mouthing off In front of every other road block
Come again and tell me What you′re going thru Like a girl who only knew Her child was due
Memories of everything Of lemon trees on mercury Come to me with remedies From five or six of seven seas You always took me with a smile When I was down Memories of everything That blew thru
Looking up into A reverse vertigo What an undertow Give it up Another stubborn scorpio Come on, let′s go
Sit up straight I′m on a double date I′ve got to find my way Into the light, heavy, middle weight We don′t stop rock around the clock Motor mouthing off In front of every other road block
Come again and tell me What you′re going thru Like a girl who only knew Her child was due To the moon she gave Another good review Turn around and look at me It′s really really you
Every once in a while I think I′m lying. Take it to the bank, I believe every word I say. (This just isn′t how, this just isn′t how) Then again, this is when you start your prying. But there′s a thought it could be true. But this just isn′t how I imagined it would be. With these random people just asking the most personal things. And to think that somehow I could always come clean. And you shake your head just like you know what I mean.
You′re a Christian tell the sinner Find repentance it′s your last chance. You believer, Where′s your patience? Answer questions, Put on faces. What about God? For you and for me. All have fallen short.
(To see if it′s right or wrong to listen to this song. I don′t want you to. To see if you′re okay with all the words I say. It can′t be this way.)
Somehow someone is more equal than others. Depending on the words we choose to say. A glance at her too long tonight. But everything I am saying is right in your ears. We are all the sisters and the brothers. Until we find we don′t believe the same.
Like... Gary is getting drunk to forget Sarah. Sarah is stealing money from her parents. Aaron is lying straight to Jon. About Megan and the things that went on. Jessica is a gossip. Laura is a slut. Derrick hits Bridget and Ben deals drugs. Seth spends all his money gambling. Joey stopped praying. It is all the same thing. We are all the same people. With sinning hearts that make us equal. Here is my hand, not words said desperately. It is not our job to MAKE anyone believe.
I hope you make it through I hope the scene is just as blue as our dream We’ve got a long way to climb Until we see what we’ve left behind.
We wake to sound of drums And we are the soldiers of our own events We are the keys to the kingdom And we will never wear clothes again And i put around every time you hear a sound What do you expect to see Every time you look at me?
I know, this is gonna be alright.
Mercury summer (Mercury summer) In the afternoon I hope you come back soon Mercury summer (Mercury summer) You just take your time I hope to see you
So how can you fall asleep So close to the fire that is keeping us warm Sleeping out in the rough Just let me know when you’ve had enough.
I put around Every time you hear a sound What do you expect to see Every time you look at me?
I know this, this is gonna be alright.
Mercury summer (Mercury summer) In the afternoon I hope you come back soon Mercury summer (Mercury summer) just take your time I hope to see you.
Mercury summer (Mercury summer) In the afternoon I hope you come back soon Mercury summer (Mercury summer) just take your time I hope to see you.
Oooh oh-oh (repeat)
Mercury summer In the afternoon I hope you come back Mercury summer (Mercury summer) Just take your time, I hope to see you Mercury summer (Mercury summer) In the afternoon I hope you come back soon Mercury summer (Mercury summer) Just take your time, I hope to see you
