[Verse 1]
Harder, harder, harder, harder
Or so they say
Harder, harder, harder, harder
In your way

[Pre-Chorus 1]
When I was younger I was in need of advice
I watched you learn to live as I just rolled the dice
Never trying hard enough with such fear in failure
What's funny is that I was worried about all the wrong things

[Chorus]
You and I
In time our minds evolved
And everywhere we said we'd hear new ideas
I recall
That time in Central Park we heard the sound
There's some new ground for new ideas

[Verse 2]
Faster, faster, faster, faster
Though time moves on
Faster, faster, faster, faster
It won't be long

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I've been thinking to myself the reasons that I try
I've been thinking to myself about the modern lie
Not easy to explain when you're stuck in line
Not easy to explain what's on your mind

[Chorus]
You and I
In time our minds evolved
And everywhere we said we'd hear new ideas
I recall
That time in Central Park we heard the sound
There's some new ground for new ideas
I recall
That time in Central Park we heard the sound
There's some new ground for new ideas
You and I
In time our minds evolved
And everywhere we said we'd hear new ideas
New ideas!
Yeah!
C'mon!
Well, change yourself!
Pretty good!
Woo!

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.
