"Chop Chop" lyrics - THE ACADEMY IS...

[Intro:]
(Chop chop)

I've got myself to blame for this
I try to compensate for everything I'm not
And every face forgotten
But you felt the sun warming your bed
You looked so quintessential
Pressed against that cross
In the face of what was lost

[Pre-Chorus:]
Still I'm not asking much of me
And you're ignoring the matter

[Chorus:]
You'll shut me up and bleed me dry
With cheap champagne and a complicated lifestyle
But if nothing else matters then I will die trying
Thinking 'bout you and I

Oh, three years on Friday since we met
You felt that existential kiss upon your neck
How could we forget that

[Pre-Chorus:]
Still, I'm through acting like this feels right
And that nothing else matters

[Chorus:]
You'll shut me up and bleed me dry
With cheap champagne and a complicated lifestyle
If nothing else matters, then I will die trying
Trying not to think about us
(Trying not to think about us)
Yeah

[Bridge:]
It's on yourself and no one else
It's on yourself and no one else
But without hindsight
I guess it serves me right

[Chorus:]
You'll shut me up and bleed me dry
With cheap champagne and a disappearing lifeline
If nothing else matters, then I will die trying
Thinking 'bout you and I

(You'll shut me up and bleed me dry
Only a matter of time
With cheap champagne and a complicated lifestyle
Only a matter of time)

(...Santi)
