it's not going down like this
losing, faking interest
i can't be your sympathist for long
and we burst into the songs we didn't wanna hear
and we drove so fast we invented gears
and it only made sense you'd try to pin this down on me

please, please
don't pin this down on me
please, please
don't pin this down on me
the hands are clapping on 1 and 3
and the bands keep falling, the bands keep falling
and the hands are clapping on 1 and 3
and the bands keep falling, the bands keep falling

have another drink for me
in the home where living rooms should be
where's your sense of decency my dear?
we tried to act happy and we tried to sing
but every song that came out was like broken strings
and i can't be surprised that it's happening
that you'd try to pin this down on me

please, please
don't pin this down on me
please, please
don't pin this down on me
the hands are clapping on 1 and 3
and the bands keep falling, the bands keep falling
and the hands are clapping on 1 and 3
and the bands keep falling, the bands keep falling
