[Verse 1: Stephan Jenkins]
Horny and burned out now is how it always ends for me and
Chemicals wear me down in your summertime bacchanalian
I saw you go faster than the morning comes
She walks away like a lady
It's always the fallen ones
I think are always going to save me
I saw you go faster

[Chorus: Stephan Jenkins & Kim Shattuck]
I want to get off one time and not apologize
You gotta steal the time of a life that's passing by

[Verse 2: Stephan Jenkins]
In bed she flexes her knees to try and abate the feeling
She mouths the words "oh please" to the poster on the ceiling
I saw you go faster right in front of me
She stares at him so madly
She's got the nerve to say
She wants to fuck that boy so badly
I saw you go faster

[Chorus: Stephan Jenkins & Kim Shattuck]
I want to get off one time and not apologize
You gotta steal the time of a life that's passing by
I want to get off one time and look you in the eyes
I want to get off one time, get off one time

[Break]

[Bridge: Stephan Jenkins]
I was hoping you would be waiting there for me lately
I was hoping you'd be waiting for me
I was hoping you'd be waiting there for me lately
I was hoping you would be waiting there for me
I was hoping you would be waiting there for me lately
But you're not the kind who would be waiting, not for anybody
You're not the kind who would be waiting not for anybody, not even me

[Chorus: Stephan Jenkins & Kim Shattuck]
Just one time
I could go off right now
I want to get off one time and not apologize
You gotta steal the time of a life that's passing by

[Outro: Stephan Jenkins]
Not for sale
Not for sale
Not for sale

Third Eye Blind from San Francisco Mission District Mostly guitars with other things knocking around Riffs and deep beats Lyrics are expanded in a kinda hip hop way That wrong thing you’re not supposed to say- we say it Black on Black pretty much from the beginning It took us so long to get things this way but it really feels like we are underway now Jacked on coffee we are a fabulously disorganized bunch We seek impact with friends try to surf whenever we can dirty jokes looking out for each other we have eyes and a voice so no surprise when we speak the fuck up We care about shit No sequencers no backing tracks not a DJ group We believe in the gathering power of music Guess you could say we are a motherfucking rock band Born in shadow, made of lions, loud as fuck
