Songwriter: Julian Casablancas

Producer: David Kahne

[Verse 1]
Everybody sees me, but it's not that easy
Standing in the light field, standing in the light field
Waiting for some action, waiting for some action over
Why won't you come over here?
Why won't you come over here?
We got a city to love
Why won't you come over here?
We got a city to love

[Pre-Chorus]
Old time grudges will die so slowly
I know you miss the way I saw you

[Chorus]
You're cold, you're so cold
You're so cold, you're so cold

[Verse 2]
Nobody can see me, everything's too easy
Standing in the light field, standing in the light field
Waiting for some actress, waiting for some actress to say
"Why won't you come over here?"
Why won't you come over here?
We got a city to love
Why won't you come over here?
We got a city to love

[Pre-Chorus]
Old time love song will die so swiftly
You never trust me, for a while it was nice, but it's time to say bye

[Chorus]
I'm cold, you're so cold
You're so cold, you're so cold
No-no-no, cold, you're so cold
You're so cold, you're so cold
Oh no-no-no-no, cold, you're so cold
You're so cold, you're so cold
No, no, you're so cold

The Strokes

The Strokes burst onto the scene at a time when rock fans were desperate for an alternative to the rap-rock that was dominating the airwaves. That the band lived up to expectations after being hailed ‘saviors of guitar rock’ solely based on the strength of a three song EP is a testament to the quality of their flawless debut, July 2001’s Is This It.

Ultimately, they are a band that truly relies on the strength of the entire lead singer Julian Casablancas, lead guitarist Nick Valensi, drummer Fabrizio Moretti, guitarist Albert Hammond Jr., and bassist Nikolai Fraiture. However, much of The Strokes' output has been influenced by the domineering vision of Casablancas' songwriting.

Before he took a small step back on their third album, January 2006’s First Impressions of Earth, and then isolated himself to record March 2011’s Angles, Casablancas was involved in almost every step of The Strokes' recording process. He wrote all of the lyrics and the music on their first two albums and was constantly involved in the mixing of the records.
