[Verse 1]
Something ‘bout the rules you attract
Don’t tell me that you made it up
We can always screw with the facts
Don’t tell me that I’ve seen enough
Cause if I saw nothing why would I look twice?

[Verse 2]
Ain't about the dress that you own
Its just something came undone
Everything you hide between the lines
Is just another give-away

[Chorus]
You’re always the last one to know
We’re finally close when you first walk away
There’s something about how you go
That makes me feel everything you wanna say
Whether we’re fucking around
Or just feeling it out

[Verse 3]
With every role that you play
The revolution televised
There’s a time and a place
Don’t tell me that its paradise
Everything you hide between the lines
Is just another give-away

[Verse 4]
We can always leave this town
Or stay to watch it all fall down
Just between you and I
Its just a moment along the way

[Chorus]
You’re always the last one to know
We’re finally close when you first walk away
There’s something about how you go
That makes me feel everything you wanna say
You’re always the last one to know
We’re finally close when you first walk away
There’s something about how you go
That makes me feel everything you wanna say
Whether we’re fucking around
Or just feeling it out
Its just a moment, its just a moment, its just a moment away

[Verse 5]
We can always screw with the facts
Tell them that we made it up
When all the words were taken back
It doesn’t mean you’ve given up
Cause if I saw nothing why would I look twice?
But between you and I
Its just a moment along the way

[Chorus]
You’re always the last one to know
We’re finally close when you first walk away
There’s something about how you go
That makes me feel everything you wanna say
Whether we’re fucking around
Or just feeling it out
Its just a moment, yeah, its just a moment away

Though best known as a guitarist and keyboardist for The Strokes, Hammond has also been performing periodic solo work since his 2006 debut album Yours To Keep.

Still a member of The Strokes despite the controversy surrounding and following their 2013 album Comedown Machine, Hammond began to gain more traction upon releasing his 2013 AHJ – EP under Strokes frontman Julian Casablancas‘ Cult Records Label.

Though still an official part of his bandmate’s label, he released his 2015 album Momentary Masters through Vagrant Records.
