Gimme Sympathy
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Get hot
Get too close to the flame
Wild open space
Talk like an open book
Sign me up
Got no time to take a picture
I'll remember someday
All the chances we took
We're so close to something better left unknown
We're so close to something better left unknown
I can feel it in my bones
Gimme sympathy
After all of this is gone
Who'd you rather be
The Beatles or The Rolling Stones?
Oh seriously
You're gonna make mistakes, you're young
Come on baby play me something
Like here comes the sun
Don't go
Stay with the all unknown
Stay away from the hooks
All the chances we took
We're so close to something better left unknown
We're so close to something better left unknown
I can feel it in my bones
Gimme sympathy
After all of this is gone
Who'd you rather be
The Beatles or The Rolling Stones?
Oh seriously
You're gonna make mistakes, you're young
Come on baby play me something
Like here comes the sun
