Leaving just in time, stay there for a while
Rolling in the ocean, trying to catch her eye
Work hard and say it's easy, do it just to please me
Tomorrow will be different, so I'll pretend I'm leaving

The Modern Age, Album: Is This It

And now you don't know how you could ever complain

But then you want me to do it the same as you

The Adults Are Talking, Album: The New Abnormal

Together again, like the beginning
It all works somehow in the end
The things we did, the things you hide
But for the record, it's between you and I
