Valium lyrics

I'm not trying to be clever

But you said we'd last forever

Like the birds and bees

But we're really nothing more

Than the future that they sold

In the old movies

Bullet trains, too late

Sonic planes flying straight into the sun

You have come and gone

Now you're just a number on my telephone

Just another reason for my valium, oh love

Was that what you want?

I found that picture in my pocket

Should I keep it, should I lock it, right away from you?

I guess it's just a girl and boy

Another broken polaroid

We threw away too soon

And like a music star

Your life fell apart

Tonight singing your song

You have come and gone

Now you're just a number on my telephone

Just another reason for my valium, oh love

Was that what you want?

Tell me are you feeling bad?

If you heard this on the radio would it make you sad?

Maybe I should fill it up with pretty words, so wrong

You have come and gone

Yes, I guess you were the best but that I can't confess

Unless you want me too

Time, it takes a little while

It tells you that you're fine

Even if it ain't true

You've come and gone

Now you're just another of my saddest songs

Just another reason for my valium, oh no

Was that what you want?

But tell me are you feeling bad?

If you heard this on the radio would it make you sad?

Maybe I should fill it up with pretty words, so wrong

You have come and gone

Time goes on

You have come and gone
