Oh Julia had it, and I'm not sure what to say
She's the funniest part of the whole that I've made
I’m feeling nervous, I feel a bit down and clumsy around me
Tell the world that I found the key
Found the love and it’s killing me
Oh wait, I’m hoping in the dark
And am older, I’ll stay
I’m a soldier, I’ll die, when I’m older

Oh Julia, she’s a tyrant, she's calling out your name
She’s calling me a liar, and there is no one else to blame
And oh wait, there’s hope
And she’s tired, and you woke her
I dare, just to hold her, I dare, just to know her

All that I want you to know, she never ever hurts
When you’re all on your own
I'm telling you to stay when I want you to go
I'm telling you to stay when I want you to go
I’m telling you

All that we had was enough
'Till you left me out in the cold
Waiting now, where’d she go
All that we had was enough
'Till you left me out in the cold
Waiting now, where’d she go

We’re so sad, and we’re so sorry
Generation melancholy
We’re so sad, and we’re so sorry
Generation melancholy
(We’re so sad, we’re so sorry, generation melancholy)
(We’re so sad, we’re so sorry, generation melancholy)

All that I want you to know, she never ever hurts
When you’re all on your own
I'm telling you to stay when I want you to go
I'm telling you to stay when I want you to go

All that we had was enough
'Till you left me out in the cold
Waiting now, where’d she go
All that we had was enough
'Till you left me out in the cold
Waiting now, where’d she go

All that we had was enough
'Till you left me out in the cold
Waiting now, where’d she go
All that we had was enough
'Till you left me out in the cold
Waiting now, where’d she go

All that we had was enough
'Till you left me out in the cold
Waiting now, where’d she go
All that we had was enough
'Till you left me

We're so sad, we're so sorry
Generation melancholy
