Go By (Two Times version) Lyrics
<i>This song is split into two parts, each playing independently but simultaneously in each speaker. The song playing in the left speaker is the same as the version on "New Moon". The song playing in the right speaker differs in the places marked below with single quotation marks ('):</i>
Go on parade and fade
Hit the scene in slow
Spending all your time with some girl
You'll never get to know
Wound up tight
Dressed all in white
'That's what I'd say'
Blowing out to drift
Leave you even if
You live up in your head
Scared of every little noise
Someone's always breaking in accidentally
Using nothing but their voice
'You were quick to fall'
'I was anxious to call'
'You some pet name'
'See it in your eye'
You're only passing by
'Two time'
'Two time'
Someone's in the way
Pretty words and inside slurs
All the things they have to say
To perform the work that they've rehearsed
It's a waste of time
I put it behind me
Once and for all
And let the hype decline
If the problem wasn't mine
'Two time'
'Two time'
'Two time'
'Two time'
Hit the scene in slow
Spending all your time with some girl
You'll never get to know
Wound up tight
Dressed all in white
'That's what I'd say'
Blowing out to drift
Leave you even if
Scared of every little noise
Someone's always breaking in accidentally
Using nothing but their voice
'You were quick to fall'
'I was anxious to call'
'You some pet name'
'See it in your eye'
You're only passing by
'Two time'
Pretty words and inside slurs
All the things they have to say
To perform the work that they've rehearsed
It's a waste of time
I put it behind me
Once and for all
And let the hype decline
If the problem wasn't mine
'Two time'
'Two time'
'Two time'
