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 being missed 

Scars on my shins, scars on my knuckles 
Today I woke up in the basketball court 
John Joe's in Sydney and he ain't returning 
I'm sitting in Soho trying to stay [bad word] 

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

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 being missed 

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

In any part of 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 say,  [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'
