This is not the time, the time to start a new love
This is not the time, the time to sign a lease
Try not to worry about what's forgotten
Try not to worry about what's been missed

Scars on my shins, scars on my knuckles
Today I woke up in the basketball court
Jonjo's in Sydney and he ain't returning
I'm sitting in Soho trying to stay [bad word] 
In any bar in the world
From Silver Lake to Williamsburg
You could pick another stranger
And fall in love

This is not the time, the time to sign a lease
Try not to worry about what's forgotten
Try not to worry about what's been missed

Bleeding gums and v-veins [bad word] You're starting to hate all of your clothes 
Neumayrs in L.A. and she ain't returning
I'm sleeping with people I don't even like

In any bar in the world
From Silver Lake to Williamsburg
You can pick another stranger
And fall in love

When I saw you last night, I wanted to [bad word] away with me, away from the cynics
That this could be the start of something [bad word] real
But all that I could say was, "hey", 
Was, "hey", was, "hey", was, "hey"
