[Verse 1]
Fake young when we met
Everything seemed alright
Like children sing on the sidewalk
Cut straight through the moonlight

[Pre-Chorus 1]
But how I love those days we didn't get out of bed
Left your taste in my mouth
Your strange voice in my head

[Chorus]
Oh, I wanna hear it again
Cause back then we were caught in a love song so loud, oh yeah
No not so typical love song
Cause it hurt us again and again
So sang that I really need you so bad, oh yeah
No not so typical love song
Cause it hurt us again and again

[Post-Chorus]
Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, hey
La, la, la, la, la
Ok look out

[Verse 2]
You'd leave the cities and chase bullet holes
That's actually star light
And in those rare moments you and I were brilliant
We were gonna be alright

[Pre-Chorus 2]
But god I loved those days we couldn't get out of bed
Left your taste in my mouth
All your words in my head

[Chorus]
And now I wanna hear it again
Cause back then we were caught in a love song so loud, oh yeah
No not so typical love song
Cause it hurt us again and again
So sang that I really need you so bad, oh yeah
No not so typical love song
Cause it hurt us again and again, woo

[Post-Chorus]
Sha, la, la, la, la, la, la
Sha, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Sha, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, so bad, oh yeah
Sha, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

[Outro]
1, 2, 3, 4
I wanna be alright
I wanna be alright
I wanna be alright with my baby tonight
I wanna be alright
I wanna be alright
I wanna be alright with my baby tonight, oh yeah
So sang that I really need you so bad, oh yeah
No not so typical love song
Cause it hurt us again and again

The so-called “80s-nostalgia” indie pop artist Bleachers infuses modern electronica with stylistic elements of the 80s. Headed by Jack Antonoff of Steel Train and Fun. fame, the band’s music is deeply personal, emotive, and lyrically evocative.

Their debut album Strange Desire was released July 10th, 2014, and was mostly written by Antonoff throughout his tour with fun. A very visceral, realized album that addresses death, memory, self-image, and spontaneity, among other themes, Desire showed the world the great potential Bleachers has to become the next pop act to become a household name.

After an EP featuring new versions of Like A River Runs and an album of Desire’s songs covered by female artists in the same vein of the final Steel Train album, the group returned with Gone Now. It featured many of the same themes as the first album.
