Running Out Of Things To Say
McQueen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We were so beautiful, so animated.
And we refused to be so jaded.
We were so out there, colours faded.
We were so lost, we were so tasteless!

So cut me some slack here, I'm not what you think I am.
And I'm losing my thread.
Just... Running out of things to say.(2x)

We were so drunk, we were so wasted.
Destined to be so underrated.
We were so cynical, so we faked it.
We were amused by the way we played dead!

So cut me some slack here, I'm not what you think I am.
And I'm losing my thread.
Just... Running out of things to say. (2x)

So cut me some slack here, I'm not what you think I am.
And I'm losing my thread.
Just... Running out of things to say.(2x)

I loved this band so much, saw them support 'The Mad Capsule Markets' then brought tickets to see THEM support 'Viking Skull' at the Camden Underworld. Had a chat with them and Leah invited me and my mate to an after party. Best night ever!!!
