Baby this is the song   That gets us by   And these are the words   That speak for themselves      To hell with what they say   I don’t write these words for you   I write these words for me   And when it comes down to it   I’ve got nothing to lose but everything to gain   When my chance comes ill be the first to leave   When my chance comes ill be the first to leave      Cause baby this is the song that gets us by   And these are the words that speak for themselves      We’re desperate for leaving   But obsessed with interstates   And perfecting our own sound   I do what I love and love what I do   The beat of the drum is home to my ears   Can I get a moment of your time?   Can I get a moment of your time?      Cause baby this is the song that gets us by   And these are the words that speak for themselves      I just need a moment of your time   Baby I just need a moment of your time      Cause baby this is the song that gets us by   And these are the words that speak for themselves
