The Rules of Attraction
Debut single from Sydney-based indie rock band I Know You Know.
lyrics
Turning the page to another day,
Well it’s a brand new start to your same old ways.
Your phone starts buzzing at 7 o’clock,
Stumble to the train find a corner spot and,
Counting down the hours of freedom,
It’s 7pm and you’re dreading 7am.
So tell me what you gonna do?
Take a picture of your dinner, Netflix and chill.
Went too far, in too deep,
Can’t turn back, what will they think?
It won’t stop, take your time,
Not too late, to change your mind.
Tell me do you wanna go,
Or do you wanna stay?
Do you even know,
What’s right or what’s wrong anyway?
You say that you don’t mind,
That you’re always left behind.
Look into my eyes,
It’s only then you realise.
Everything you thought you never missed out on,
Passes you by cause you built your walls so high and,
So come on take my hand,
Break the rules of attraction and hold on ‘til the very end.
Spend more time working to make more money.
Buy more things that you can put aside.
Then ask permission to go out on any day.
And lose your friends, one by one it’s okay.
A photo here, a filter there and everything’s alright.
You get your hearts, you get your likes and everything’s alright.
Stay online.
Swipe through life.
Went too far, in too deep,
Can’t turn back, what will they think?
It won’t stop, take your time,
Not too late, to change your mind.
Tell me do you wanna go,
Or do you wanna stay?
Do you even know,
What’s right or what’s wrong anyway?
You say that you don’t mind,
That you’re always left behind.
Look into my eyes,
It’s only then you realise.
Everything you thought you never missed out on,
Passes you by cause you built your walls so high and,
So come on take my hand,
Break the rules of attraction and hold on ‘til the very end.
