Division Street Lyrics

You love to play behind the beat
You love it on Division Street
You love to miss, no longer wait
Anyway, I'm not a child anymore
Talking like a libertine
The rose embroiled on you jeans
But you never have the confidence
You never act in self defense
We never know what you're rewarded for
We never know what you're rewarded for
'Cause you like the morning doves
When you don't want anybody to get too close
You say it's just a cuddle scene
I'm pretty sure that you would do the same for me
You used to be a joy to have
That's what your friends always say
But they love you anyway, anyway
You got a lot of sides, I think
All the boys talking square
'Cause we're not what we used to be
It's not the end of the century anymore
Don't you know that when you feel that way
You make me feel that way
Miss you, now come on, I do this for you
'Cause you like the morning doves
When you don't want anybody to get too close
You say it's just a cuddle scene
I'm pretty sure that you would do the same for me
You used to be a joy to have
That's what your friends always say
But they love you anyway, anyway
Rocking, you have to make it out for yourself
You better try or let me be home tonight
It'll be for sure achievable
I'll make a case that you are mine beyond a doubt

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
