The Strokes – When It Started lyrics
Won't decide
But he won't debate
Said, 'Thanks my friend'
But he was too late
Oh why, oh why
I don't know
So you think things move
Pretty fast down here
Well just wait my dear
Till you look up there
Oh maybe someday
You'll know

Had his second kid,
Was an early night
Got to be well dressed
'Cause he hates to fight
Oh loves his job
Takes it home

Anything they wanted
They could have it, have it
Didn't even notice
I don't mind it, mind it


Won't decide
But he won't debate
Said, 'Thanks my friend
Thought that we was dead'
Oh why, oh why
I don't know

Think things move
Pretty fast down here
But just wait my dear
Till we get up there
Oh maybe someday
They'll know

Come on tell me
Does she warm the
Room when he comes
Or does he just know
How to leave
When it gets cold

Well I don't care
I don't care
'Cause it's free
