Tokyo Police Club Argentina Lyrics
Argentina by Tokyo Police Club
(Parts I II III)
Oh, what a girl
I wish I had another sister for me
I'd take her to the park
While you were at work
How many kinds of people
Do you think there really are for me?
Enough to fill a room?
Enough to fill a mall?
One sunset falls on the sea
You are not crying.
Oh, what a girl
I wish we had a conversation face to face
Cause when you speak
You speak in waves
But then you go into your secret place
And hide from me.
I wanna look in all the dark, dark
Dark, dark, dark, dark, dark, dark comers
One season you wait and see, you are not crying
One lover turns into me, you are not crying for me
Oh, Argentina!
Born in 1988, give or take
We share bottles
We share gum, when you smile
You smile with all your teeth at once
Oh, what a girl I want you
Wearing my t-shirt XL
Yeah, you wear it well
How many kinds of people do you think
There really are for me?
I want to see you in the bright, bright, bright, bright, bright, bright, bright, bright morning
One sunset pink on the sea, you are not crying
One lover turns into me, you are not crying for me
Oh, Argentina
Born in 1988, give or take a year
Or month a wedding day
We share bottles
We share gum, when you smile
You smile with all your teeth at once
And when you smile with all your teeth, yeah, I'm done x2
I don't want to want you like I want you x5
Television wakes me up
With the sound of a gun
Feeling like I'm here alone
But I'm not the only one
You were lying next to me
Wearing someone else's clothes
Have I been asleep for long
In the informercial glow
Now I see the things that I have done
Everything in focus all at once
When I was an infant
I could see it clear
When I was a lover
I could see it clear
And, yeah, I could be a fool sometimes
But I was a lover
And I could see it clear
'Cause if I had known
That you were only here for the weekend
'Cause if I had only known
What you were thinking I would have been
So, so, so, so much nicer x2
If I was a lighthouse, I would look all
Over the place, if I was an asshole
Thank you for keeping a smile on your face
And, yeah, I could be a fool sometimes
But I was a lover
And I could see it clear
'Cause if I had known
That you were only here for the weekend
'Cause if I had only known
What you were thinking I would have been
So, so, so, so much nicer x2
Yeah, I can see it
Clear x4
Oh, what a girl
I wish I had another sister for me
I'd take her to the park
While you were at work
How many kinds of people
Do you think there really are for me?
Enough to fill a room?
Enough to fill a mall?
One sunset falls on the sea
You are not crying.
Oh, what a girl
I wish we had a conversation face to face

You speak in waves
But then you go into your secret place
And hide from me.
