Oh-oh-oh

It's very sentimental and it means a lot to me

Oh better settled down than playing games through gritted teeth

Oh when you light the fire all your fears about it die

You're telling everybody, all those years of killing time

I wasn't satisfied at twenty-five or twenty-three

Oh will you let me find it, how much faster can it be

Oh I'm telling everybody but advice is all I find

Oh babe I'm paralysed, just let me find some kind of life

Oh hold on

When the twenty-first century's gone

We hold on

Move along

When you're finally finding your song

Then hold on

Move along

No it doesn't matter what it is or cannot be

Oh where's the war I'm fighting, it's just not fierce enough for me

Oh thanks for playing keeper but I don't need a nine-to-five

Oh when you found the diamonds, all your tears were still inside

Oh when we find the money, all our dreams become untrue

Oh but baby if you let me I'll do anything for you

Oh when you get the money

Oh will you get the mind

All the innocence is burning

Can you feel a better time

Oh hold on

When the twenty-first century's gone

We hold on

Move along

When you're finally finding your song

Then hold on

Move along

Oh hold on

When the twenty-first century's gone

We hold on

Move along

When you're finally finding your song

Then hold on

Move along

Oh let it go

Cause the song that's in my head it's unintentional

Baby let it go

It's just a place I know

But the song that's in my head it's unintentional

Gotta let it go

Oh then you know

But this song that's in my head it's unintentional

Baby let it go

It's just a place I know
