LYRICS
Ah you’ve got flaws
that you won’t admit
Yet you tell me it’s a sin
that I don’t believe in...
Yet you traded in your cross
for a chance to dance with stars
Now nothing is sacred
I’ve given thought to leaving
f-f-f-for sometime
If only I could read a map
My moat is New Mexico
so it’s you I wrote
I started sending you a note
On how I hope that you’re happy
I hear you’re somewhere in the sand
and how I wish I was an ocean
Maybe then,
I’d get to see you again
And all my friends
They break and they bend
They take shape and they tend
to get better with time
and I say
"Who am I to work so much less
Yet get more
You all deserve what I am walking towards
If you want you should move away"
This has become my weakness
The golden state wins again
Perhaps its time I settle
Say "it’s blue
At least that’s a plus"
plus
I miss you so much
Why am I scared of people in a room?
Why can’t they see a good time
are the people close to you?
Why don’t I just give in?
Have a drink and shake some hands
Oh ey oh
Oh ey oh
Why am I scarred from what she did to me?
Why can’t I trust anyone?
No, not even me
Why don’t I just give in?
Have a drink and shake some hands
Oh ey oh
Oh ey oh
I’ve given thought to leaving
f-f-f-for sometime
Maybe it’s time I put a profile up
of who I want to be
Fool everyone
I could start over clean
I could hide behind a big blue screen
or you could return to me
Return to me

I don't know if you're reading this, but Nate, thank you. I think this song and a few others from Dog Problems really help me sort a few things out. ❤

[@sierravance9654]

This is one of my favorite songs by The Format, I’m so glad that I now have the opportunity to hear it as a live recording!

WHY AM I CRYING IN THE CLUB RIGHT NOW

[@kirkspuhler6195]

It's amazing I haven't heard these songs in the better part of a decade or more, but as soon as the song starts, I can sing every word.

Did they actually have a show at the Mayan theater 2 months ago or this old

[@yatharthbakshi]

No, this is old. From 2007, I guess. But they did have a bunch of shows recently. I guess in January.

[@dickrockhard8631]

It's new. You can find the live album on Spotify under Live at the Mayan Theatre Encore

[@Pencey_Prep]

@@yatharthbakshi Just one, they moved the dates for the virus.

The concert's from July 2007, it was released on DVD in November 2007 and re released in February 2020. They also had an unannounced reunion show on February 3, 2020.
