Lyrics

New Street, You Can Take It

Caught you slow dancing when the house lights let up
He's only looking out for you (sure)
You think you're pretty subtle
You're a satellite crashing
I know you couldn't stop

Careful of the witch trials
There's been rumors tracked like concrete cracks
And every time you say the words, it means less
Think you're pretty subtle
You're a satellite crashing
I know you couldn't stop

And all these empty bottles are testament to something you lost
Or stopped needing a long time ago
Every glass smash a symphony for someone you lost

You kinda always know when it's over
You kinda always know when it's over
You kinda always know when it's over

You kinda always know when it's over
You kinda always know when it's over
You kinda always know when it's over

You kinda always know when it's over
You kinda always know when it's over
You kinda always know when it's over

You kinda always know when it's over
You kinda always know when it's over
You kinda always know when it's over

You kinda always know when it's over
You kinda always know when it's over
You kinda always know when it's over

You kinda always know when it's over
You kinda always know when it's over
You kinda always know when it's over
But you still carry on
