Taking Back Sunday: "New American Classic" Lyrics

You've got to get better.

Say it's all in your head.

We could live through these letters

Or forget it all together.

See the months they don't matter.

It's the days I can't take

When the hours move to minutes and I'm seconds away.



Just ask the question.

Come untie the knot.

Say you won't care,

say you won't care.

Retrace the steps

As if we forgot.

Say you won't care,

Say you won't care.

We try to avoid it,

But there's not a doubt,

And there's one thing I can do nothing about.



Well all that we need is just a reaction,

It's too much to ask for when there's no attraction anymore

If chasing our dreams is just a distraction,

I want to remember when I know that I can't go back.



Just ask the question.

Come untie the knot.

Say you won't care,

say you won't care.

Retrace the steps

As if we forgot.

Say you won't care,

Say you won't care.

We try to avoid it (Try to avoid it),

But there's not a doubt,

And there's one thing I can do nothing,

There's one thing I can do nothing,

There's one thing I can do nothing about.



(Finally)

Just ask the question (Just ask the question).

Come untie the knot.

Say you won't care,

Say you won't care.

And retrace the steps (Retrace the steps)

as if we forgot.

Say you won't care.

Say you won't care.

We try to avoid it (Try to avoid it),

But there's not a doubt

And there's one thing I can do nothing,

There's one thing I can do nothing,

There's one thing I can do nothing about.
