Put your hands in the air

If you sometimes ever get sad like me

Put your fingers on your chest

And your body and breathe, let it be

Don't find it hard to say so

I'll say it: I get lonely

Put your hands in the air

If you sometimes ever get sad like me

Sad like me, wait patiently

And you're gonna be free

Wait patiently

I get so serious sometimes

My emotions sitting on a wire

And I gotta be out my mind

'Cause the second that I'm happy and I'm fine

Suddenly there's violins and movie scenes

And cryin' rivers in the streets

And God, I don't know why I get so serious sometimes

(So serious)

So serious sometimes

I remember last summer in the city

Makin' plans and you felt like mine

Look at me and I felt so Hollywood

But, baby, then you changed your mind

I got so fuckin' close to feelin' so good, so satisfied

I remember last summer in the city

Makin' plans and you felt like mine

Felt like mine, then I froze in time

You changed your mind

And I'll never know why

I get so serious sometimes

My emotions sitting on a wire

And I gotta be out my mind

'Cause the second that I'm happy and I'm fine

Suddenly there's violins and movie scenes

And cryin' rivers in the streets

And God, I don't know why I get so serious

I get so, oh, oh

Violins and movie scenes

And cryin' rivers in the streets

And God, I don't know why I get so serious sometimes

(So serious, so serious) sometimes

So serious sometimes
