Get dressed in your bed
While she's asleep
It isn't right
But it isn't hard
Tell me, tell me won't you understand
Show me, show me, show me a better plan
It's summer lies
It's someone else's nothing
Here it comes now
You ask me to stay
You ask me to stay
You ask me to stay
But there's a million reasons to leave
Find a job
Find a friend
Find a home
Find a dog
Settle down
Out of town
Find a dream
Shut it down
Please, please don't point it that way
It's just a trigger that goes once
And you'll be unafraid
I wish that I'd been noticed, but it never goes that way
The silence that you brought has gone, gone, gone
Tell me, tell me, won't you understand?
Show me, show me, show me
You ask me to stay
You ask me to stay
You ask me to stay
But there's a million reasons to leave
Show me what to say
Show me what to be
Show me what to see
Show me what to be
Find a job
Find a friend
Find a home
Find a dog
Settle down
Out of town
Find a dream
Shut it down
I don't wanna tell you, darling, no
I don't wanna be in bed without your loving either
But I waited for your loss
Can't you wait for all this?

Show me what to say, show me what to be...settle down, out of town/find a dream, shut it down
Much will be said about this new single – that the synth-line bites off “Take on Me” by A-ha (which is half-true), and that it’s a huge departure from their garage-rock roots. Well, this shift fits the message – they’re readying themselves to leave rock and “settle down with a home and a dog.”
Please, please don’t point it that way/It’s just a trigger and you’re the worst and you’ll be unafraid
Featuring a piercing falsetto that at one point only dogs are likely to hear and a synth riff blatantly taken from A-ha‘s “Take On Me,” The Strokes return with a brave, if divisive, Latin-tinged number that sees Casablancas deliberate over the idea of leaving the rock and roll lifestyle behind for good.
