I try not,
To tell you,
Exactly,
What to do,
But I just can’t keep on waiting,
To take back,
The time we,
Just smiled,
Were happy,
That happiness was not completed.
Won’t you get off my case?
Is this something that we need to face?
I want to take back the time,
I gave it all away,
When I bled my heart out,
And chose kind words to say.
I want to take back,
That time when we were happy,
‘Cause since then I’ve been,
In a summer misery.
My days in,
A nutshell,
I tell ya,
They’ve been hell,
I spend my days in toxic dreaming.
I wish things,
Were easy,
But I tried,
Believe me,
I just can’t escape this feeling.
Won’t you get off my case?
Is this something that we need to face?
I want to take back the time,
I gave it all away,
When I bled my heart out,
And I chose kind words to say.
I want to take back,
That time when we were happy,
‘Cause since then I’ve been,
In a summer misery.
It’s something that I can’t deny,
This heat is making me fry,
All the smiles that we shared,
All the times we can’t compare.
I want to take back the time,
I gave it all away,
When I bled my heart out,
And I chose kind words to say.
I want to take back,
That time when we were happy,
‘Cause since then I’ve been.
I want to take back the time,
I gave it all away,
When I bled my heart out,
And I chose kind words to say.
I want to take back,
That time when we were happy,
‘Cause since then I’ve been,
In a summer misery.
I want to,
(Take back, take back the time)
I want to,
(Take back, take back the time)
I want to,
(Take back, take back the time)
I want to,
Take back, take back the time.

Smash it up, laugh it off, trash talk,
Lifestyle to routine,
We haven't felt this good,
In over a year.
This spark has lit our fuse,
And I feel like kissing you,
We'll play along, we're fine,
Cause every night's our night.
I’ve been told,
That times like these they won’t last,
So let’s go downtown,
We’ll get drunk and relax.
The bones in my body,
They feel tougher tonight,
Around College and Bathurst,
We’ll follow the bar lights.
Another rewind,
Another rewind,
Another rewind,
Another rewind.
Each one of these songs,
Will take us further back,
And this 20 dollar bill,
Will put drinks in our hands.
There's hearts we won't forget,
And some names we'll have to break,
Our voice from singing so loud,
Past two with the lights out.
I’ve been told,
That times like these they won’t last,
So let’s go downtown,
We’ll get drunk and relax.
The bones in my body,
They feel tougher tonight,
Around College and Bathurst,
We’ll follow the bar lights.
Another rewind,
Another rewind,
Another rewind,
Another rewind.
It’s a short,
It’s a short walk from Sneak’s to the ville,
Yes we’re drunk,
Yes we’re drunk but we know the way there still.

Relax, I'll Be There

“Relax, I’ll be there for you,”
Is what your paper said,
Before you walked out my door.
And I don’t know if I’m falling,
But if I am falling,
Can I fall to you?
Let’s fall,
Let’s fall together,
Over and over again,
Let’s go down this path.
We’ll do this together,
And we can laugh and pretend,
That what we have is new.
“Relax, everything is fine,”
Is probably what your paper said,
Before it got torn to shreds.
And reused as kindling,
To fuel the burning in me,
The one that screams out you.
Let’s fall,
Let’s fall together,
Over and over again,
Let’s go down this path.
Let’s do it together,
And we can laugh and pretend,
That what we have is new.
“Relax, you need a moment,
To recollect your thoughts and your pieces,
And everything of yours that tore away.
What we have is clear,”
I bet that’s what you wrote down for me,
But I also hope that paper said,
Let’s fall,
Let’s fall together,
Over and over again,
Let’s go down this path.
Let’s do it together,
And we can laugh and pretend,
That what we have is new,
What we have is new,
What we have is new,
What we have is new.

Oh, it’s mid-August, so here’s my yearly speech
Have a Happy New Year! Happy Spring! and a happy first day of summer!
Cause I know I won’t see you ‘round here
You’ve been pulling this shit now for years
And no matter how much we all change
You insist to stay the same
But I’m stuck up and stubborn
And you sure need to grow up
Someone’s got to give
But I’m stuck in that night you drove me wild
The way we kissed, the way you made me smile
Waiting for your train at Spadina Station
I still get nervous when your name is mentioned
Oh, how pathetic is this situation?
Cause I’m still a sucker
I’m too old for this shit
Oh, now it’s winter! And my room is frozen cold
Don’t you wanna come and hang out again?
Just like we do every summer
Cause these random girls, they won't do
And you're still hung up on that dude
If we don't let go of our pride
It will be too late to try
He fucked you and used you and screwed you
And I’ve never been there but I can still relate
Cause what he’s done to you (to you!)
I’ve done to them
And I’m sorry
Spadina Station
You drove me wild
You made me smile
Spadina Station
Your name is mentioned
My room is frozen cold
don’t you wanna come and hang out again?
Just like we do every summer
Just like we do every summer!

I stay out too late
Got nothing in my brain
That's what people say
That's what people say
I go on too many dates
But I can't make them stay
At least that's what people say
That's what people say
But I keep cruising
Can't stop, won't stop moving
It's like I got this music
In my mind
Saying, "It's gonna be alright."
'Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
Shake it off, shake it off
Heart-breakers gonna break, break, break, break, break
And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake
I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off
I never miss a beat
I'm lightning on my feet
And that's what they don't see
That's what they don't see
I'm dancing on my own
I make the moves up as I go
And that's what they don't know
That's what they don't know
Hey, hey, hey
Just think while you've been getting down and out about the liars and the dirty, dirty cheats of the world,
You could've been getting down to this sick beat.
My ex-man brought his new girlfriend
She's like "Oh, my god!" but I'm just gonna shake.
And to the fella over there with the hella good hair
Won't you come on over, baby? We can shake, shake, shake
Laugh it Off, Laugh it Off
