The 1975

The 1975 are an English pop rock band originating from Manchester. The band consists of lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist Matthew "Matty" Healy, lead guitarist Adam Hann, bassist Ross MacDonald, and drummer George Daniel.The band's origins trace to them attending Wilmslow High School in Cheshire and playing together as teenagers in 2002. Gigs organised by a council worker led the band to formally sign as the 1975. Their choice of name was inspired by a Jack Kerouac beat poetry book. They eventually signed a record deal after their success with Dirty Hit and Polydor Records. Following the release of four EPs, their self-titled debut album was released on 2 September 2013, topping the UK Albums Chart on 8 September 2013. Their second album I Like It When You S… more »

I tell you I can visualize it all
Too real it all seems
But once again
Runnin' away with me
But once again
Runnin' away with me
This couldn't be a dream
Runnin' away with me
Runnin' away with me

And I stop myself for a minute
See if my heart's still in it
Say a few things just to win it
Funny how it works out, innit?
And I told her, "Some things have their time
How can I be yours if you're not mine?"
She said, "They should take this pain
And give it a name"

Tonight, I wish I was your boy
(Run away from me, run away from me) I
(Run away from me, run away from me)
Tonight (tonight), I think I fucked it royally
(Run away from me, run away from me)
(Run away from me, run away from me)

Give yourself a new name
Change your voice on the train
Have a complain about your fame
Tell me that it's all a rigged game
And she told me, "Some things just take time
How can you be sure if you won't try?"
She said, "I guess I'll take this pain
Instead of your name"

Tonight, I wish I was your boy
(Run away from me, run away from me) I
(Run away from me, run away from me)
Tonight (tonight), I think I fucked it royally
(Run away from me, run away from me)
(Run away from me, run away from me)

And it's been playing on my mind
Unfortunately, I've been to this place in my life
Far too many times
Sunday's nearly over so I'll just lie awake

Tonight, I wish I was your boy
I
Tonight, I think I fucked it royally

And tonight, I wish I was your boy
(Run away from me, run away from me) I
(Run away from me, run away from me)
Tonight (tonight), I think I fucked it royally
(Run away from me, run away from me)
(Run away from me, run away from me)
