The original adaptation of “What The Hell (are you gonna do now?)” which was later released on the extended edition of “If You Could Have It All Again” in 2021. Like “What The Hell (are you gonna do now?)” this song is about being late to love, seeing your peers go through walks of life, and feeling...
[Verse 1]
Now they're married and she's pregnant
And they've got a flat in town
How much longer will you pretend
That you don't want any of that?
You read it in the books, it's on the TV
It's written on the billboards, loud and clear
But you don't want that
And where has all the time gone?
Have you missed it?
What the hell are you gonna do now?
[Chorus]
I want weekend walks and pillow talk
I want a lover's touch and another's heart
I want morning routines and shopping carts
I want to hold up the walls when they fall apart
What lovers share they leave behind
What lovers share they leave behind
What lovers share they leave behind
[Verse 2]
You turn thirty
In your bedroom upstairs
You put on a vinyl that's just for you
And you start to dance all over the place
Like it's the last dance you'll ever have
You become a figure skater, tossed and turned
Thrown up in the air
Who's going to catch you when you land?
Leafing through old photos
Trying to work out
What the hell are you gonna do now?
[Chorus]
I want weekend walks and pillow talk
I want a lover's touch and another's heart
I want morning routines and shopping carts
I want to hold up the walls when they fall apart
What lovers share they leave behind
What lovers share they leave behind
What lovers share they leave behind
[Outro]
If you could have it all again
Another chance
It wouldn’t make a difference
What lovers share they leave behind
If you could have it all again
Another chance
It wouldn’t make a difference
What lovers share they leave behind
