Bike Scene Lyrics
[Verse 1: Adam Lazzara, Adam Lazzara & John Nolan]
I’ll leave the lights down low
So she knows I mean business
And maybe we could talk this over
‘Cause I could be your best bet
Let alone your worst ex
And let alone your worst…
[Chorus: Adam Lazzara, John Nolan, Adam Lazzara & John Nolan]
I wanna hate you so bad
But I can’t, but I can’t stop this
Anymore than you can
[Verse 2: Adam Lazzara, Adam Lazzara & John Nolan]
So honestly, how could you say those things
When you know they don’t mean anything
And you know very well
That I can’t keep my hands to myself
Hands to myself
[Chorus: Adam Lazzara, John Nolan, Adam Lazzara & John Nolan]
I wanna hate you so bad
But I can’t, but I can’t stop this
Anymore than you can
[Bridge: John Nolan, Michelle Nolan]
And this is all wrong and it shows
There’s certain things I promised not to let you know
Got this silly way of keeping
Not to let you know
Me up on my edge of my seat
I never…
Got this silly way of keeping
Never, no…
Me up on the…
I’ll leave the lights down low
So she knows I mean business
And maybe we could talk this over
‘Cause I could be your best bet
Let alone your worst ex
And let alone your worst…
[Chorus: Adam Lazzara, John Nolan, Adam Lazzara & John Nolan]
I wanna hate you so bad
But I can’t, but I can’t stop this
Anymore than you can
[Verse 2: Adam Lazzara, Adam Lazzara & John Nolan]
So honestly, how could you say those things
When you know they don’t mean anything
And you know very well
That I can’t keep my hands to myself
Hands to myself
[Chorus: Adam Lazzara, John Nolan, Adam Lazzara & John Nolan]
I wanna hate you so bad
But I can’t, but I can’t stop this
Anymore than you can
[Bridge: John Nolan, Michelle Nolan]
And this is all wrong and it shows
There’s certain things I promised not to let you know
Got this silly way of keeping
Not to let you know
Me up on my edge of my seat
I never…
Got this silly way of keeping
Never, no…
Me up on the…
[Verse 3: Adam Lazzara, Michelle Nolan]
You’ve got this silly way
Of keeping me on the edge of my seat
But you’re only counting the clock against the train
And I’m miserable
Got this silly way of keeping
And you’re just getting started
Me up on my edge of my seat
I’m miserable
Got this silly way of keeping
Me up on my…
[Outro: Adam, (John), Michelle & Adam, Michelle & John, All]
You’ve got me
Right where you want me
Let’s never talk about this again
Let’s never talk
Let’s never
Let’s never talk about this again because I…
I didn’t want it to mean that much to me (anyway)
I didn’t want it to mean that much to me
I didn’t want it to mean that much to me
I didn’t want it to mean that much to me
Anyway… yeah
You’ve got this silly way
Of keeping me on the edge of my seat
But you’re only counting the clock against the train
And I’m miserable
Got this silly way of keeping
And you’re just getting started
Me up on my edge of my seat
I’m miserable
Got this silly way of keeping
Me up on my…
[Outro: Adam, (John), Michelle & Adam, Michelle & John, All]
You’ve got me
Right where you want me
Let’s never talk about this again
Let’s never talk
Let’s never
Let’s never talk about this again because I…
I didn’t want it to mean that much to me (anyway)
I didn’t want it to mean that much to me
I didn’t want it to mean that much to me
I didn’t want it to mean that much to me
Anyway… yeah
