The New Lyrics by Interpol

Turn on the Bright Lights

2002

[Verse]
I wish I could live free
I hope it's not beyond me
Settling down it takes time
One day we'll live together
And life will be better
I have it here, yeah, in my mind
Baby, you know someday you'll slow
And baby, my heart's been breaking

[Pre-Chorus]
I gave a lot to you
I take a lot from you too
You slave a lot from me
Guess you could say I gave you my edge

[Chorus]
But I can't pretend I need to defend
Some part of me from you
I know I've spent some time a-lying
I can't pretend I don't need to defend
Some part of me from you
I know I've spent some time a-lying

(How am I doing?)

[Instrumental]

[Bridge]
You're looking alright tonight
I think we should go
You're looking alright tonight
I think we should go

[Instrumental Outro]
