[Intro]
Stop and go

[Verse 1]
Do I have a share in this?
It's as if I don't exist
I look up to see the stars upon my face

[Verse 2]
I don't know the songs you like
Or the space to make it right
It is life in slo-mo
Stop and go

[Verse 3]
I've been lying in this room
Summer breeze will take me soon
It's been time since Madeline let me forget

[Chorus]
Your ignorant life
Cuts like a knife
While tending two shops you adore
There's nothing inside
Get dressed for the ride
A romance, a joke, and a war
Look how easy we got fooled
How cheap they bought and sold us fools
Wish we could have become friends
Without smoking their cigarettes
The stars collide
And formed you and I

[Verse 4]
We made a plan but had no time
Most of the girls made up their minds
Somehow the boys knew they just had to wait in line

[Verse 3]
I've been lying in this room
Summer breeze will take me soon
It's been time since Madeleine let me forget

[Chorus]
Your ignorant life
Cuts like a knife
While tending to shops you adore
There's nothing inside
Get dressed for the ride
But romance, a joke, and a war
Look how easy we got fooled
How cheap they bought and sold us fools
Wish we could have become friends
With cops smoking their cigarettes

[Chorus]
Your ignorant life
Cuts like a knife
While tending to shops you adore
There's nothing inside
Get dressed for the ride
But romance, a joke, and a war
The stars
Collide
The stars, collide
They're for you and I

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.
