about

From the upcoming release "Chiaroscuro"

lyrics

It's always the kids who liked to get real dizzy on the playground that got into drugs
It's always the guys who had girlfriends first either went into finance or turned into thugs
I need someone like you
Those hollow figures just won't do
And I got to have you need me too

I just want to get along, I just want to get along, like a house on fire
I don't want to be alone, I don't want to be alone, please just help me find you

All the girls staring up at the sun find out too late, the damage is done
All the daughters playing out in the rain find out that the grown up games just ain't any fun
If you would be with someone like me
Go back to when we both were free
And get along famously

I just want to get along, I just want to get along, like a house on fire
I don't want to be alone, I don't want to be alone, please just help me find you
Come on, come on turn me on, come on, come on turn me on, nothing would be finer
I just want to get along, I just want to get along, like a house on fire
