Great Romances Of The 20th Century by Taking Back Sunday lyrics (text):

[Talking: (From the demo version of this song)]
A beautiful girl can make you dizzy
Like youve been drinking jack and coke all morning
She can make u feel high
Full a single greatest commodity known to man
Promise promise of a better day 
Promise of a greater hope
Promise of a new tomorrow
This particular aura can be found in the gait of a beautilful girl
In her smile & in her soul & the way she makes every rotten little thing about life seem like it's gonna be ok...

September never stays this cold 
Where I come from 
And you know 
I’m not one for complaining, 
But I love the way you’d roll 
Excuses off the tip of your tongue 
As I slowly fall apart (slowly, quietly, slowly) 
Fall apart 

This won’t mean a thing come tomorrow 
And that’s exactly how I’ll make it seem 
Cause I'm still not sleeping, 
Thinking I’ve crawled home from worse than this 

So please, please (please) 
I’m running out of sympathy (I'm running out of sympathy!) 
And I never said I’d take this 
I never said I'd take this lying down 

She says 
"come on, come on, let’s just get this over with” 
She says 
"come on, come on, let’s just get this over with” 
(I never said I’d take this lying down, let's just get this over with,
And I've crawled home from worse than this) 
She says 
"come on, come on, let’s just get this over with” 
She says 
"come on, come on.." 

You always come close but this never comes easy, 
I still know everything 
You always come close but you never come easy, 
I still know everything 
This always comes close but you never come easy, 
I still know everything 
You always come so close... 
I still know everything, I still know everything, I still know... 

You always come close but this never comes easy 
You always come close but you never come easy 
You always come... you come in close 

I never said I'd take this lying down 
I never said I'd take this lying down 
I never said I'd take this lying down 
But I've crawled home from worse than this 

If it's not keeping you up nights 
Then what’s the point 
Then what’s the point 
Then what’s the point 
Then what’s the point 

I'm in your room 
Now is this turning you on 
Am I turning you on? 

I'm in your room 
Are you turned on? 

I'm on the corner of your bed, 
I'm thinking maybe,
Are you turned on, 
Are you turned on?
