  • Someone said they left together
    I ran out the door to get her
    She was holding hands with Trevor
    Not the greatest feeling ever
    Said, "Pull yourself together
    You should try your luck with Heather"
    Then I heard they slept together
    Oh, the less I know the better
    The less I know the better

    Oh, my love, can't you see yourself by my side?
    No surprise when you're on his shoulder like every night
    Oh, my love, can't you see that you're on my mind?
    Don't suppose you could convince your lover to change his mind?
    So goodbye

    She said, "It's not now or never
    Wait ten years, we'll be together"
    I said, "Better late than never
    Just don't make me wait forever"
    Don't make me wait forever
    Don't make me wait forever

    Oh, my love, can't you see yourself by my side?
    I don't suppose you could convince your lover to change his mind?

    I was doin' fine without you
    'Til I saw your face, now I can't erase
    Givin' in to all his bullshit
    Is this what you want? Is this who you are?
    I was doin' fine without you
    'Til I saw your eyes turn away from mine
    Oh, sweet darling, where he wants you
    So, come on Superman, say your stupid line
    So, come on Superman, say your stupid line
    So, come on Superman, say your stupid line Writer/s: Kevin Richard Parker

  • Raff from KrakovThis song is moving strongly your rudimental sense of chase. It`s romantic, naive and stupid but it really works. I can`t resist I just take the basket ball and go out for some dunks... or ...<3. The clip is genial - matches perfectly with the main drama plot between absolute beginners and their big-small feelings storm :-)

  • Natalie from Lorena, TxHow are there only two comments. This is one of those songs that you listen to late at night and don't think twice about showing emotion. Really a genius riff in this song, it gets me to stand up every time. When I hear the start of this song I immediately think of the opportunities I was robbed of or am not old enough for yet.

  • Damon Salvatore from Mystic FallsThe best way to not get your heart broken is to pretend that you don't have one.
  • Vizz from BrazilActually I see the video clip with the meaning of a guy who's strugling with his own confusion about sex/love/desire. The gorilla is like his sexual drive taking over his reason.
