When you wake up alone
Could you live without it?
I don't think so
Make a note of the time
When you first think about it
I don't think so
I'm just as lost as you are
Does it make you feel any better?
Your impression of me
Is slowly getting worse
Yeah, I think so but
When the shield went down
I fell under the curse
Yeah, I think so but
I never thought
That you and I could come to this
I left you floating 'cause
You never struck me
As somebody that would ever drown
I'm just as lost as you are
Does it make you feel any better?
Does it make you feel any better?
I'm just as lost as
I'm just as lost as you are
Does it make you feel any better?
Does it make you feel any better?
Does it make you feel any better?
Hope it makes you feel a little better
Could you live without it?
I don't think so
Make a note of the time
When you first think about it
I don't think so
I'm just as lost as you are
Does it make you feel any better?
Your impression of me
Is slowly getting worse
Yeah, I think so but
When the shield went down
I fell under the curse
Yeah, I think so but

I'm just as lost as you are
Does it make you feel any better?
Does it make you feel any better?
Does it make you feel any better?
Hope it makes you feel a little better
| rdo (DC) | Posted: Feb 10, 2013 - 08:31 If you are interested in more Gomez, and you are like me in that you just go apeshit for Ben's voice, then I suggest their albums Liquid Skin and A New Tide. The other dude can sing well too sometimes, but Ben is just amazing. I know I am given to hyperbole and over-excitement when promoting bands, but I seriously think the entire music world is blind when it comes to Gomez (except RP). These guys are better than the Beatles in my opinion. They really are the most under-appreciated band in history. I don't say that lightly. Did I mention that I really love Gomez? |

| robo1111 | Posted: May 10, 2012 - 09:12 Saw Gomez twice on current tour, Asheville and Charlotte ... they rock. |
| Blastcat900 (Neither here nor there) | Posted: Apr 08, 2012 - 15:23 Good song on a crummy album... hmm maybe I haven't listened to the album enough? What's the consensus? |

This and the other Ian song getting a lot of play, "Options," are the lamest on the album! I usually like the Ben songs best but I must say, two of the Tom songs, "I Will Take You There" and "The Place and the People," are the most interesting on the album and the most innovative Gomez tunes in years. I wish the radio stations I had to listen to played Gomez so I could relate to your discussion. |

| drewd | Posted: Nov 03, 2011 - 12:57 Gomez is quickly becoming my favorite new band... |
| Cynaera (In a hammock under my own vine and fig tree.) | Posted: Oct 25, 2011 - 16:36 Instant 8 for this, with potential for higher. I LIKE it! ![]() |

| adroc (slightly left of centre) | Posted: Jun 29, 2011 - 08:21 This is a very solid new album from Gomez. IMO RP did a great job of adding the three best songs: this, 'Whatever's On Your Mind", and "Options". |
