Lyrics Jess, You Got Yr Song, So Leave - Johnny Foreigner

Jess, You Got Yr Song, So Leave

The boasts they pull that you see through;
They only front just to try to get close to you
And all those boys with vaccuum hearts
Celebrating midnight like slaves to their arts
Maybe you’re jealous you aren’t
Family fought for country taught;
You only learnt to hide your accent when you speak to them
College towns just know their own;
Now you can drink, you can kill a Marlboro Light in less than six drags, I know
But tonight you’re slow
Never going to be the models that we wanted
Never going to sleep with idols we crave
Just throw your arms around the nights we lag behind
And know that when you sleep, at least you got… this one song
Broke yourself for faint routine
Melodrama drags outside and chokes the air from your chest
All call-me-friends in smoking pens
With shaky hands, and only if you promise not to act surprised
To let the moment pass you by like it’s not yours
He’s spoken, he’s spoken for
She sleeps with darkness
You know her name
She sleeps with darkness
All the same
