Instant Crush

Daft Punk · Random Access Memories [2013]

I didn't want to be the one to forget

I thought of everything I'd never regret

My little time with you is more than I get

Let's run with it because it's all we can take

One thing I'd never see, the same way around

I don't believe it and it slips from the ground

I want to take you to that place near the rush

But no one gives us any time anymore

You used me once, you fled, looking, it was dark

You made an offer for it, then you ran off

I got this picture of us kissin' my head

And all I hear is the last thing that you said



I listened to your problems, now listen to mine

I didn't want to anymore, oh oh ohh



And we will never be alone again

Cause it doesn't happen everyday

Kinda counted on you being a friend

Kinda given up on giving away

Now I thought about what I wanna say

But I never really know where to go

So I chained myself to a friend

Cause I don't know what else I can do

And we will never be alone again

Cause it doesn't happen everyday

Kinda counted on you being a friend

Kinda given up on giving away

Now I thought about what I wanna say

But I never really know where to go

So I chained myself to a friend



Some more again



It didn't matter what they wanted to see

You thought he saw someone that looked just like me

I saw my memory that just never dies

We worked too long and hard to give it no time

He sees right through me, it's so easy with lies

Cracks in the road that I would try and disguise

He runs the scissors at the seam in the wall

He cannot break it down or else he would fall

One thousand lonely stars

Hiding in the cold

Take it, oh I don't wanna sing anymore



I listened to your problems, now listen to mine

I didn't want to anymore, oh oh ohh



And we will never be alone again

Cause it doesn't happen everyday

Kinda counted on you being a friend

Kinda given up on giving away

Now I thought about what I wanna say

But I never really know where to go

So I chained myself to a friend

Cause I don't know what else I can do

And we will never be alone again

Cause it doesn't happen everyday

Kinda counted on you being a friend

Kinda given up on giving away

Now I thought about what I wanna say

But I never really know where to go

So I chained myself to a friend



I don't understand, don't get upset

I'm not with you

Thoughts spinning around

It's all I do, when I'm with you



And we will never be alone again

Cause it doesn't happen everyday

Kinda counted on you being a friend

Kinda given up on giving away

Now I thought about what I wanna say

But I never really know where to go

So I chained myself to a friend

Cause I don't know what else I can do

And we will never be alone again

Cause it doesn't happen everyday

Kinda counted on you being a friend

Kinda given up on giving away

Now I thought about what I wanna say

But I never really know where to go

So I chained myself to a friend
