Frank Turner - I Really Don't Care What You Do On Your Gap Year lyrics

rate me

We were only supposed to go out for the night, <br />

But it's been a few hours now since it got light -<br />

We're a mess, and the worst part is we couldn't care less.<br />

There's water in the ash-tray and ash in the sink, <br />

The carpet's mostly soaking, but there's nothing to drink -<br />

We're a state, and we're starting to regret staying awake.<br />

<br />

And I'll pay for my sins when I get paid, <br />

I'll stop talking to girls when I get laid.<br />

I should have gone home when I could, but I stayed.<br />

But then I never was the clever one.<br />

<br />

We were only supposed to go out for the night, <br />

I did my best to go home but in the end I lost the fight with myself -<br />

To be honest I was hoping I'd go home with someone else.<br />

And right about now I should be starting my day, <br />

But instead I am sat here downing the dregs of yesterday, <br />

All the while trying to prop up both ends of my smile.<br />

<br />

And I'll pay for my sins when I get paid, <br />

I'll stop talking to girls when I get laid.<br />

I should have gone home when I could, but I stayed.<br />

But then I never was the clever one, <br />

But always the one to not see that I'm done and<br />

I need to go home and get to sleep, <br />

Always the last to see the moment has passed and<br />

I need to admit my defeat.<br />

And I'm lonely - there, I said it.<br />

I'm lonely, but it's hard to admit it<br />

When everybody thinks that you're fine all the time and you're not.<br />

<br />

So we were only supposed to go out for the night... <br />

But who am I kidding? Try as I might I can't stop<br />

Until I've squeezed out every last drop.<br />

<br />

And I'll pay for my sins when I get paid<br />

But I don't have a penny to my name.<br />

I'll stop talking to girls when I get laid<br />

But I haven't had a shower for days.<br />

I should've gone home when I could but I stayed, <br />

And so I stay up alone, <br />

And set off on my own<br />

To the station where I catch the first train.
