Alvvays – Tom Verlaine Lyrics

Tom Verlaine Lyrics By Alvvays

[Verse 1]
Looking back, I should have known
All the nights that I spent in outer space
If in fact I had said no
What becomes of this? It’s hard to say

[Bridge]
I’ll feel better with the breeze on my back
And I’ll sleep better knowing it’s in the past

[Verse 2]
Looking back, I should have known
All the nights that I spent in outer space
Cigarettes and old regrets piled in a stack
Out in the back of my brain
[Chorus]
When you walk away
Better be for good

[Verse 3]
I put my money on a horse
Who won’t be steered on any course or lane
And if I ever see a dime
You’d take that money to divide and separate

[Chorus]
When you walk away
It better be for good

[Bridge]
I know you’ll be there in the rain
Glowing like the first night, telling me you’ve changed
I know you’ll be there in the rain
Glowing like the first night, trying to explain

[Chorus]
That when you walk away
It’s gonna be for good
You were my Tom Verlaine
Just sitting on the hood
