What Ever Happened?

The Strokes · Room on Fire [2003]

I wanna be forgotten

And I don't wanna be reminded

He said please, don't make this harder

No, I won't yet

I wanna be beside her

She wanna be admired

He said please, don't make this harder

No, I won't yet



Oh dear, is it really untrue

That they are famous and they want it to sound new

Topped in ideas for countdown shows

Who's culture is this and does anybody know

I'm waiting tell myself, life ain't chess

When no one comes in, and yes

You're alone

You don't miss me

I know



Oh, and tell me seeing what did you write

And come together in the middle of the nite

All that's an ending that I can't write

See 'cos I've got you to let me down



I wanna be forgotten

And I don't wanna be reminded

He said, please don't make this harder

No, I won't yet

I wanna be beside her

She wanna be admired

He said please, don't make this harder

No, I won't yet
