lyrics
Been drinking on the east side
Been drinking on the west side
Slept under the Hollywood sign and all I can do
Drown in my sorrows
Try again tomorrow
Only time will clear this static electricy
If I were Mercury
I’d be in retrograde
Let’s just go backward
Faster and faster, before I forget
Of all the galaxies–
That I find you here with me–
Heightens this moment, you pull me in close and
For once, I believe
Been sleeping on the left side
Been sleeping on the right
I know now is not the time to say all I need to
Busy in a dark mind
Running through each lifeline
Tired of listening in the night for sounds of violence
If I were Mercury
I’d be in retrograde
Let’s just go backward
Faster and faster, before I forget
Of all the galaxies–
That I find you here with me–
Heightens this moment, you pull me in close and
For once, I believe
Oh, this constant interference
Doesn’t care about your feelings
Doesn’t give a shit about what you’ve been wishing
We could meet and talk it over
I’d say the wrong things, touch your shoulder
You’d pull away and I’d spin out to space
If I were Mercury
And I were in retrograde
I’d just go backward
Faster and faster to the beginning
Of all the galaxies–
That I find you here with me–
Heightens this moment, just pull me in close
For once, I believe
If I were Mercury
I’d be in retrograde
Let’s just go backward
Faster and faster, before I forget
Of all the galaxies–
That I find you here with me–
Heightens this moment, you pull me in close and
For once, I believe
Take me back
Take me back
Take me back
Take me back
Take me back
Take me back
Take me back
Take me back
Been drinking on the west side
Slept under the Hollywood sign and all I can do
Drown in my sorrows
Try again tomorrow
Only time will clear this static electricy
If I were Mercury
I’d be in retrograde
Let’s just go backward
Faster and faster, before I forget
Of all the galaxies–
That I find you here with me–
Heightens this moment, you pull me in close and
For once, I believe
Been sleeping on the left side
Been sleeping on the right
I know now is not the time to say all I need to
Busy in a dark mind
Running through each lifeline
Tired of listening in the night for sounds of violence
If I were Mercury
I’d be in retrograde
Let’s just go backward
Faster and faster, before I forget
Of all the galaxies–
That I find you here with me–
Heightens this moment, you pull me in close and
For once, I believe
Oh, this constant interference
Doesn’t care about your feelings
Doesn’t give a shit about what you’ve been wishing
We could meet and talk it over
I’d say the wrong things, touch your shoulder
You’d pull away and I’d spin out to space
If I were Mercury
And I were in retrograde
I’d just go backward
Faster and faster to the beginning
Of all the galaxies–
That I find you here with me–
Heightens this moment, just pull me in close
For once, I believe
If I were Mercury
I’d be in retrograde
Let’s just go backward
Faster and faster, before I forget
Of all the galaxies–
That I find you here with me–
Heightens this moment, you pull me in close and
For once, I believe
Take me back
Take me back
Take me back
Take me back
Take me back
Take me back
Take me back
Take me back
