Taking Back Sunday – I Am Fred Astaire lyrics

i'm under the assumption that i'm gonna be
the one that's leaving you tonight, oh tonight.
well i've flicked every switch that i could find on my way out,
just to upset you more
just to keep you busy
just to make you angry
just because you were right
just because you were...

on side streets in heaven,
let's get this out and on the table.

fast forward to say four o' clock.
im keeping time, i'm holdin',
we're always holdin' (we're always holdin)
we're always holdin, holding out
and that's what got us here in the first place,
you should have never come here alone
you should have never bothered at all
bothered at all...

scream older and wiser,
still filled with resentment
we get it, we get it.
and i haven't been happier since.
older and wiser,
still filled with resentment,
we get it, we get it
i haven't been happier since.
i haven't been happy, no not since.

well five o' clock the floor caught fire
with footsteps (my footsteps),
and spread like a disease to the door.
i'm stumblin through it but i hear it.
i hear it's good to stick with you,
and you know a whole lot of this.
it all could have been avoided
when you were courtside for this nightmare.
well since then i got myself. come and listen.

older and wiser
still filled with resentment
we get it, we get it,
and i haven't been happier since.
older and wiser,
still filled with resentment,
we get it, we get it and
i haven't been happier since.
i haven't been happier since.
i haven't been happier since.
i haven't been happier since.
i haven't been happy, no not since.

well we used to get so much more
(i used to, i used to too...)
it used to take so much more
(i used to, i used to, i used to, i used to.)
