lyrics

Like nothing's happened, old flames have gathered
To send you on your way
It stands to reason, you're out of season
It's time to change cities again

Basically, I mean to say
Would you give me a try
Before it's all goodbyes
Before we say goodnight

Oh gone right on, the strength of old
10 drinks and we're away
Tomorrow's not today
Down til Tuesday, start again

Framed believers
And sermons of heathens
We'll dance, never give an inch away
Where grass is greener
The air smells sweeter
Our invites got lost in the post

Basically, I mean to say
Would you give me a try
Before it's all goodbyes
Before we say goodnight

Oh gone right on, the strength of old
10 drinks and we're away
Tomorrow's not today
Down til Tuesday, start again

It's just this need, to own all we see
Pictures of fame, washed down the drain
Pictures of you, so happy in blue

C'mon act your age
The world's not a stage
They've all moved on, kids houses and jobs
You're not 23, you're in the wrong scene

Our Western disease
Wait til Fridays to release
On Monday chomp another bitter pill
I'll buy you all a round
Just to stop from coming down
Tell me your name again by the way

Basically, I mean to say
Would you give me a try
Before it's all goodbyes
Before we say goodnight

Oh gone right on, the strength of old
10 drinks and we're away
Tomorrow's not today
Down til Tuesday, start again
