Ones Who Love You Lyrics

Take, take from the ones who love you
Ooh, leave, leave all the ones who don't
Ooh, lie, lie to the ones who like you
Ooh, then, play with the ones who won't

When lightning strikes
I will be on my bike
I will be stuck inside
I will be taking flight

They, they are the ones who love you
Ooh, we, we are the ones who don't
Ooh, hang up on the ones who need you
Ooh, watch out for the ones who won't

When lightning strikes
I will be on my bike
I will be stuck inside
I will be taking flight

And when the wheels come off
I'll be an astronaut
And I will be lost in space
I will be skipping rocks

When you live on an island
Nothing ever falls in place
The winter is violent
And you can't ever feel your face
You can't fucking feel your face

When lightning strikes
I will be on my bike
I will be stuck inside
I will be taking flight

And when the wheels come off
I'll be an astronaut
And I will be lost in space
I'll be a (?)

Ooh

I think its how SOME peoples social/family/work life goes in their early 30s esp if going through addition. But I love how no one knows the same lyrics... Makes it easier to make it yours, more personal lol

The song begins with a selfish, cynical and narcissistic mindset. But the lesson comes later...

"When you live on an island Nothing ever falls in place The winters are violent And you can't ever feel your face"

This gives the section on personal flight its power.

@matzoballsoup updated. Don't want to steal credit for the correction though. Good ears!!

These lyrics are really inaccurate. But I WON'T be stuck inside But I WON'T be lost in space *I'll be on Limpincott (It's a street's name in Canada, I think I spelled it wrong)

Also *lie to the ones who left you

There are more mistakes but I won't correct them all

This is interesting, I always thought the lyric was "I will be on my back" like when taking off in a rocket which goes with the "astronaut" lyric.
