I Am Fred Astaire Songtext
von Taking Back Sunday

I′m under the assumption
That I'm gonna be the one that′s leaving you
Tonight (tonight)
Well, I flipped every switch
That I could find on my way out
Just to upset you more (just to keep you busy)
Just to make you angry (just because you were right)
Just because you were...

All tired, scream safe haven
Let's get this out and on the table

Fast forward to, say, four o'clock
I′m keeping time, I′m holding
We're always holding (we′re always holding)
We're always holding (holding out)
And that′s what got us here in the first place
You should have never come here alone
(You should have never bothered at all)
Bothered at all


Scream older and wiser, still filled with resentment
We get it, we get it, oh
(I haven't been happier since)
Older and wiser, still filled with resentment
We get it, we get it, oh
(I haven′t been happier since) Bree Ann
(I haven't been happy, no, not since)

Well five o'clock the floor caught fire with footsteps (my footsteps)
It spread like a disease to the door
I′m stuttering through it, but I hear it
Well, I-I, I hear it′s good t-t-to stick to what you know
And you know the whole lot of this
It all could have been avoided when
You were courtside for this nightmare
Well since then I got myself, come and listen

Older and wiser, still filled with resentment
We get it, we get it, oh
(I haven't been happier since)
Older and wiser, still filled with resentment
We get it, we get it, oh
(I haven′t been happier since) Bree Ann
(I haven't been happier since) Bree Ann
(I haven′t been happier since) Bree Ann
(I haven't been happier since) Bree Ann
(I haven′t been happy, no, not since)


Well, it used to take so much more
(I used to, I used to too)
It used to take so much more
(I used to, I used to too)
I used to, I used to too
