The Rocket Summer

hey stop, do you hear an echo?
i do but does anyone know
same old thing we heard an hour ago
different band the same radio
we broke down on the side of the road
east coast we had to cancel the shows
i'm trying as hard as i can
but i'd rather write a song than a business plan
because this is me, saying words i actually mean
i won't compromise this thing just to make it
i want to, thats a given but
i can't imagine the same way as you oh, you
no i'll never do the things they do just to make it
singing soul you say you got it in you
something to say well i don't hear it in any one of your tunes
the words you heard you reused
you got a hook, there's no book
got no soul, just a look
and this is me, saying words i actually mean
i won't compromise this thing just to make it
i want to, thats a given but
i can't imagine the same way as you oh, you
no i'll never do the things they do just to make it
do you even know what you're even saying
or are you just saying it cause someone else said it? [x4]
i want to, thats a given but
i can't imagine the same way as you oh, you
no i'll never do the things they do just to make it [x2]
