It's like a train running you down
Wide awake, you're out tonight
Is he on your mind?
You gotta let him go, c'mon

Like a harpoon through him
It's a girl worth aching for
When you're just good friends
It makes him want you more
These foolish games
Slip right out of us
Foolish game
Ohh, you say that it's not fair

Cuz now he's gone to you
Avoid these roads he could be on
Just stay away
The next town down is gone from your mind
Play the fool
Find some boy, he'll fill your night
Make you forget the marks across a neck he used to kiss
Is the next town down still gone from your mind?

You meet down by the water
You never gave him your time
But now he does want someone
Oh, and it's not you
Was it hard to leave him?
Man you could just talk all night!
What you running your mouth for?
You gotta let him go

Gone to you
Avoid these roads he could be on
Just stay away
The next town down is gone from your mind
Play the fool
Find some boy he'll fill your night
Make you forget the marks across a neck he used to kiss
Is the next town down still gone from you mind?

Foolish games
Slip right out of us

These foolish games
They slip right out of us
Foolish games
So...

Our love is gone to you
Avoid these roads he could be on
Just stay away
The next town down is gone from your mind
Play the fool
Find some boy he'll fuel the night
Make you forget
The next town down is gone from your mind
Play the fool
You find some boy, he'll fill the night
Make you forget the marks across your neck he used to kiss
Is the next town down still gone from your mind?
