Ideally you'll be able to listen to this and the full, techno-electro-dance-whatever version that's going to be on the album I'm working on, and be able to separate them as different things. Either that, or you can swap this version out for the other one when it comes out. The other one is more optimistic! This is just the depressing half of the song.
lyrics
you don't have to ask.
"that's all in the past"
you're not filled with doubt.
you don't have to hear "no"
to feel that you're alone.
"it will all work out"
sadie hawkins day
comes around each year;
but sadie hawkins day
doesn't come round here.
you don't have to cry
'cause "that's a waste of time"--
you won't make that mistake.
you don't want to try;
you see no reason why
you'd set your heart to break.
sadie hawkins day
comes around each year;
oh sadie hawkins day
won't be coming round here.
sadie hawkins day
take away my fears.
miss sadie hawkins day,
she won't be coming around here.
