Tap Out Lyrics

They found our city under the water
Gotta get my hands on something new
You don't want to be without this
Something isn't adding up

Decide my past
Define my life
Don't ask questions
Cause I don't know why

Someone
Didn't wanna know their name
Drifting
You don't wanna know what's going down
Even though I really like your place
Somehow we don't have to know each other's name

They found our city under the water
I began to listen to your eyes
You don't want to live without it
Leaving others in a bind

Decide my past
Define my life
Don't ask questions
Cause I don't know why

Someone
Didn't wanna know their name
Drifting
You don't wanna know what's going down
Even though I really like your place
Somehow we don't have to know each other's name

Someone
I didn't wanna know their name
Drifting
You don't wanna know what's going down
Even though I really like your place
Somehow we don't have to know each other's name

Decide my past
Define my life
Don't ask questions
Cause I don't know why
I don't listen
And I don't speak
But list the talent
But I don't know why

I think that this song is about a guy that doesn't really know what he wants to do with his life, but people keep on asking him and asking what he is planning on doing. He doesn't like it, and finally finds someone that is the same way and doesn't ask him questions.

My Interpretation

Seems to be about one night stands. That's what the chorus makes me think of anyways. Great tune to kick the album off with.

My Interpretation

@DRadams Agreed

But the best part of the song is

Decide my past Define my life Don't ask questions, cause I don't know why

I feel some type of emotion to move on from the past and become a stronger person. Idk maybe it's just me but am I the only person that spent $38 on iTunes lol. I got in so much trouble but anyways I LOVE THE STROKES.

This song makes me wanna dance. It's got a groove Michael Jackson "Wanna be startin' something" beat to it and my feet just can't sit still. Awesome song!

yup it probably is about one night stands

"Even though I really like your place Somehow we don't have to know each other's name"

And also about someone adrift in his life, with no clear plans

"They found our city under the water" Could be referring to a place, a bubble created by lovers together, once it's found the bubble blows and you have to get on with some new love, because you don't want to live without love.

"Decide my past Define my life Don't ask questions Cause I don't know why"
