Come on, Harry, we wanna say "good night" to you!

Come on, Harry, we wanna say "good night" to you!

Holding me back

Holding me back

Gravity's holding me back

Gravity's holding me back

I want you to hold out the palm of your hand

I want you to hold out the palm of your hand

Why don't we leave it at that?

Why don't we leave it at that?

Nothing to say

Nothing to say

When everything gets in the way

When everything gets in the way

Seems you cannot be replaced

Seems you cannot be replaced

And I'm the one who will stay

And I'm the one who will stay

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

In this world

In this world

It's just us

It's just us

You know it's not the same as it was

You know it's not the same as it was

In this world

In this world

It's just us

It's just us

You know it's not the same as it was

You know it's not the same as it was

As it was

As it was

As it was

As it was

You know it's not the same

You know it's not the same

Answer the phone

Harry, you're no good alone

Harry, you're no good alone

Why are you sitting at home on the floor?

Why are you sitting at home on the floor?

What kind of pills are you on?

What kind of pills are you on?

Ringing the bell

Ringing the bell

And nobody's coming to help

And nobody's coming to help

Your daddy lives by himself

Your daddy lives by himself

He just wants to know that you're well

He just wants to know that you're well

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

In this world

In this world

It's just us

It's just us

You know it's not the same as it was

You know it's not the same as it was

In this world

In this world

It's just us

It's just us

You know it's not the same as it was

You know it's not the same as it was

As it was

As it was

As it was

You know it's not the same

You know it's not the same

Go home, get ahead, light-speed internet

Go home, get ahead, light-speed internet

I don't wanna talk about the way that it was

I don't wanna talk about the way that it was

Leave America, two kids follow her

Leave America, two kids follow her

I don't wanna talk about who's doing it first

I don't wanna talk about who's doing it first

Hey!

Hey!

As it was

As it was

You know it's not the same as it was

You know it's not the same as it was

As it was

As it was

As it was

As it was
