Gender Roles – School's Out lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm on the case, told you I'd be home by half past late
And you have yet to return, to some extent, so have I
Now I am a cynic, and yeah I am a fraud
And the flowers won't last as long as your words
Pick me up and put me down

[Pre-Chorus]
No time to waste
'Cause there's no time at all
These days, anymore

[Chorus]
It's you, it's you, it's you
I am a vulture for your closeness
Push me forward just like petrol should
If someone else could drive as good as you

[Verse 2]
I tell you what, I always wanted to go on that trip that we spoke of
Guess you got a head start, or am I running behind?
Food is disappointing, and sure there's more taste
With choices we both could have made
At least the weather held out for half of the day?

[Pre-Chorus]
No time to waste
'Cause there's no time at all
These days, anymore

[Chorus]
It's you, it's you, it's you
I am a vulture for your closeness
Push me forward just like petrol should
If someone else could drive as good as you

[Post-Chorus]
You're just what I need, you're more than I am
You're like fogging lights in the rain, keeping me on track

[Bridge]
Like running on a clock, can I stop looking at my watch?
Even if I try to move the hand backwards, it won't stop
It's not getting faster, faster, faster still
It won't stop, oh why, I wonder?

[Outro]
It's you, it's you, it's you
I am a vulture for your closeness
Push me forward just like petrol should
If someone else could drive as good as you
You're just what I need, you're more than I am
You're like fogging lights in the rain
