Tune Out Lyrics by The Format

Interventions + Lullabies

2003

[Verse 1]
It's your bed
So please choose a side
I'll take the one closest to the door
And you start to speak
The words that try to justify
Do far more wrong than anything you do
So grab the coat, the keys
The tension speaks but we're singing it

[Chorus]
I'll tap the break while you crack the window
The smell of smoke is making my lungs explode
The 51 is backed up and too slow
Let's tune out by turning on the radio

[Verse 2]
And this town is dead
We've been caught in these sheets way too long
Let's just see who's up on this screen
No one I know is more depressing than me
Or should I say the two of us cause after all we're all we've got
And tension speaks but we're singing it

[Chorus]
I'll tap the break while you crack the window
The smell of smoke is making my lungs explode
The 51 is backed up and too slow
Let's tune out by turning on the radio

[Post-Chorus]
And oh my love you're all I need
Backed behind a frequency
They played this song an hour ago
But let's tune out
Let's tune out by turning on the radio

[Bridge]
Haven't we heard this song
About a thousand times before
Oh well after awhile it all sounds the same
I guess it's better than silence and better than shame

[Chorus]
I'll tap the break while you crack the window
The smell of smoke is making my lungs explode
The 51 is backed up and too slow
Let's tune out by turning on the radio

[Chorus]
I'll tap the break while you crack the window
The smell of smoke is making my lungs explode
The 51 is backed up and too slow
Let's tune out by turning on the radio

[Post-Chorus]
And oh my love you're all I need
Backed behind a frequency
They played this song an hour ago
But let's tune out
Let's tune out
Let's tune out by turning on the radio
