I'm listening to: The Raveonettes - The Christmas Song

Don't, don't you want me?
You know I don't believe you
When you say you don't need me

It's much too late to find
When you think you've changed your mind
You'd better change it back or we will both be sorry

Don't you want me, baby?


Let's dance in style, let's dance for awhile
Heaven can wait, we're only watching the skies
Hoping for the best but expecting the worst
Are you going to drop the bomb or not?

So many adventures couldn't happen today
So many songs we forgot to play
So many dreams are swinging out of the blue
We let them come true


My boyfriend's back and you're gonna be in trouble
Hey la, hey la, my boyfriend's back
If you see him come, better cut out on the double
Hey la, hey la, my boyfriend's back

He's been gone for such a long time
Hey la, hey la, my boyfriend's back
Now he's back and things will be fine
Hey la, hey la, my boyfriend's back
You're gonna be sorry you were ever born
Hey la, hey la, my boyfriend's back


Is everything a baited hook?
And are there locks on all doors?
If you're looking for an open book
Look no further, I am yours

You're an exception to the rule
You're a bonafide rarity
You're all I ever wanted
Southern girl, could you want me?


Get straight, wait here while I try to find the exit sign
When we stop asking strangers, no one wants what we want

There a place that ends here I know
When they close the gates I'll cry
I'm so tired of never sleeping
The whole world wants what we're on

Got to get out
Got to get to you, the orphanage is closing in an hour


Bottles breaking on my face are
Only a reminder of your
Love I lost a lifetime ago
Was I dreaming when I knew you?
I don't know

So once again I swim in reverie, without your love
So long ago I can't remember now where we began


Hey yeah, we had everything
Vinyl in mono
And we looked the other way
Man, we were so dumb
Is this the part in the book that you wrote
Where I've gotta come and save the day?

Three chords in your pocket tonight
Are you, you the one with the spark to bring my punk rock back?
I don't think so

Blow out all of the lights tonight


And then it happened
It took me by surprise
I knew that you felt it too
By the look in your eyes

This magic moment
While your lips are close to mine
Will last forever
Forever till the end of time


Outside, inside
This is a moon without a tide
We'll build a fire in your eyes
We'll build a fire when the color's getting brighter
Cold desire, makes a moon without a tide


I tremble
They're gonna eat me alive
If I stumble
They're gonna eat me alive

Can your hear my heart beating like a hammer?


I wanna see your thoughts take shape and walk right out

The songs are in your eyes
I see them when you smile
I've seen enough, I'm not giving up
On a miracle drug

Of science and the human heart, there is no limit

Love makes no sense of space and time will disappear
Love and logic keep us clear


The summer days are gone too soon
You shoot the moon, and miss completely

Will you think of times you told me
You knew the reason
Why we had to each be lonely
Was it just the season?


All the lights are coming on now
How I wish that it would snow now
I don't feel like going home now
I wish that I could stay
