“Great Romances of the 20th Century” is the fifth track on Taking Back Sunday’s debut Tell All Your Friends.
The song deals with the emotional toll that comes with ending a relationship.
[Verse 1]
September never stays this cold
Where I come from
And you know
I’m not one (I'm not one) for complaining (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
Is falling apart
Is falling apart
Is falling apart
[Pre-Chorus]
As of 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
[Chorus 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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.."
[Interlude]
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...
[Bridge]
You always come close but this never comes easy
You always come close but you never come easy
You're coming in... you're coming close
[Chorus 2]
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
[Post-Chorus]
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
[Outro]
I'm in your room
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?
