The Strokes - One Way Trigger lyrics

Get dressed in your bed
While she's asleep
It isn't right
but it isn't hard

Tell me, tell me, won't you understand
Show me, show me, show me a better plan

It's summer lies
It's someone else's nothing
Here it comes now

You ask me to stay... you ask me to stay
But there's a million reasons to leave

Find a job
Find a friend
Find a home
Find a dog
Settle down
Out of town
Find a dream
Shut it down
 
Please please don't point it that way
It's just a trigger that goes once
And you'll be unafraid

I wish that I'd been noticed. But it never goes that way
The silence that you brought has gone, gone, gone
Tell me, tell me won't you understand
Show me, show me, show me

You ask me to stay... you ask me to stay
But there's a million reasons to leave

Show me what to say
Show me what to be
Show me what to see
Show me what to be

Find a job
Find a friend
Find a home
Find a dog
Settle down
Out of town
Find a dream
Shut it down

I don't wanna be in there with you
I don't wanna be in there without your loving either
I waited for your thoughts
Can't wait no longer

Ooooh tough call, there, Jules. He realizes he wants to settle down, but he doesn’t know how, and she won’t tell him. So, he’s debating whether he still wants her, but the “can’t wait no longer” line implies no.
