Drums, The - Book Of Stories Lyrics






You're perfect photographs on the wall
And if I know you you're ok
I don't wanna dance anymore
I don't wanna sing anymore
I don't wanna dance anymore we used to sing

I thought I'd be ok till I hit that floor
I thought I'd be fine till I needed more

I thought I'd be ok till I hit that floor
Oh, I need more I need more I need more

I thought my life would get easier
Instead its getting harder, instead it's getting harder

I thought my life would get easier,
Instead it's darker, instead it's getting colder...
Without you

My life's a book of short stories,
And we wrote a new one everyday

I don't understand anymore
You don't love me anymore
I don't understand anymore and I can't think

Why can't I let you go?
Why can't I let you go?
Hate you I wanted to hate you

    14 September 2019, Palermo, Sicily.
    When they sing "I thought my life would get easier, instead it's getting harder. I thought my life would get easier, instead it's darker, instead it's getting colder" they seem to be singing about my inconclusive life so that's a lot of comfort to me. I am not alone in this dreadful boat.

  5. A.... G....

    I thought my life would get easier
    Instead it's getting harder..

  6. D.... ....

    You're perfect photographs on the wall
    And if I know you you're ok
    I don't wanna dance anymore
    I don't wanna sing anymore
    I don't wanna dance anymore we used to sing

    I thought I'd be ok till I hit that floor
    I thought I'd be fine till I needed more

    I thought I'd be ok till I hit that floor
    Oh, I need more I need more I need more

    I thought my life would get easier
    Instead its getting harder, instead it's getting harder

    I thought my life would get easier,

    [Verse 1]
    Your perfect photographs on the wall
    And if I know you, you're okay
    I don't wanna dance anymore
    I don't wanna sing anymore
    I don't wanna dance anymore
    We used to sing

    [Pre-Chorus]
    I thought I'd be okay 'til I hit that floor
    I thought I'd be fine 'til I needed more
    I thought I'd be okay 'til I hit that floor
    Oh, I need more, I need more, I need more, I need more

    [Chorus]
    I thought my life would get easier

    Without you

    [Verse 2]
    My life's a book of short stories
    And we wrote a new one everyday
    I don't understand anymore
    You don't love me anymore
    I don't understand anymore and I can't think

    [Pre-Chorus]
    I thought I'd be okay 'til I hit that floor
    I thought I'd be fine 'til I needed more
    I thought I'd be okay 'til I hit that floor
    Oh, I need more, I need more, I need more, I need more

    [Chorus]
    I thought my life would get easier
    Instead it's getting harder, instead it's getting harder
    I thought my life would get easier
    Instead it's darker, instead it's getting colder

    [Outro]
    Why can't I let you go?
    Why can't I let you go?
    Hate you, I wanted to hate you, I wanted to hate you, I wanted to hate you
    Hate you, I wanted to hate you, I wanted to hate you, I wanted to hate you

    [Chorus]
    I thought my life would get easier
    Instead it's getting harder, instead it's getting harder
    I thought my life would get easier
    Instead it's darker, instead it's getting colder
    Without you
    Without you
    Without you
    Without you
    Without you

    I always thought this would be a good theme song for a Malcolm in the middle spin off of him in college.

  13. K.... H....

    He played this song at his concert

  14. B.... T....

    Antes pensaba que esta canción describía tan bien mi vida...

  15. N.... M....

    *"I thought I'd be okay till I hit that floor."*

  26. J.... M....

    Every song remembers me the skins serie.

  27. I.... L....

  29. J.... ....

    I love them low key

    N.... o....

    marie sanchez me too

  31. k.... ....

    omg i luv dis!!1

  32. J.... W....

    kinda puts me in mind of light and fluffy early Beach Boys but with their later darker lyrics

  33. R.... 1....

    Al escuchar The Drums siento que mi cuerpo se llena de felicidad, paz y ganas de hacer cosas de provecho :) gracias por hacer esta música tan fascinante!

    R.... 1....

    @Sarita Correa dan ganas de hacer todo!!

    R.... 1....

    Sarita Correa en serio también yo y si lo hago cada vez

    R.... 1....

    Es curioso, pues las letras suelen ser melancólicas/tristes, pero claro, la música se siente como se debe sentir; irónicamente a mí también me provoca bailar y ser feliz.

    R.... 1....

    A mi me ponen triste •́ ‿ ,•̀

  34. m.... ....

    essa musica e d+

  35. b.... s....

    I'm at the beach sitting in a balcony couch, in front of a beautiful sunset and listening to this song.

    b.... s....

    This song is pretty negative. Not my first choice for the beach. Just sayin.

    b.... s....

    I'm glad

    b.... s....

    my gosh. My comment is older than i expected, what a stupid person i've been :(

    b.... s....

    I'm alone and stoned, sad, heartbreaked.

  36. b.... ....

    You can sing the words from this song exactly with the music from the drums other song "the future" and vice versa.  im not trolling, love both songs.

  37. p.... ....

    move on, good songs a good song

  38. p.... ....

    i definitely see the smiths influence, i get it, but at the same time seriously who gives a fuck

  39. B.... H....

    The Drums sound like The Drums. I listen to The Smiths and there's no comparison. Ugh I can't wait till people stop comparing fucking music.

    B.... H....

    YES! like we get it! you listen to The Smiths, The Cure and Joy Division

    B.... H....

    The smiths sounds more depressing the drums r happier

  40. A.... R....

    The Drums is Indie Pop

  41. D.... J....

    Good call, but no offence, I don't hear The Smiths at all in this. It's hard to think of a comparison besides 50s type melodies, I hear The Drums.

  42. K.... D....

    Love The Drums ;)

  43. D.... J....

    but this is indie pop

  44. M.... R....

    Maybe not Closer, but it sounds very similar to the whole sound of Unknown Pleasures.

  45. ..... a....

    EPIC Tune!

  46. A.... ....

    /watch?v=6K4gng3KcvA , check out our cover of this song!

  47. N.... V....

    No sé porqué esta canción tiene tan pocas visitas, me encanta <3

  48. S.... B....

    I just enjoy this amazing song

  49. m.... ....

    Which is a reference to the band Joy Division...

  50. A.... T....

    It really isn't.

  51. s.... ....

    lol what? Did you actually read my comment?

  52. m.... ....

    If you can't hear the similarities of this band and the smiths...I dunno. This song maybe the least but...let's say they may have had a strong influence by the smiths.

  53. m.... ....

    The Smiths suck? Really?

  54. N.... Z....

    this song sounds cooler live D: <333

  55. T.... J....

    perfect fucking song for my feelings XD

  56. c.... ....

    Best. Break-up song. Evah.

  57. C.... M....

    ¡No encuentro palabras para expresar cuanto amo a estos chicos! <3 Los amo Los amo Los amo Los amo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  58. s.... ....

    @ApparentlyArbitrary The style, progressions and lyrical content is what reminds me of the smiths more than anything. But if you don't see it. Cool

  59. O.... ....

    @strangethingswill i agree i don't like joy division or the smiths drums forever and amen

  60. a.... t....

    this song is the be all and end all

  61. K.... ....

    According to my friend this is THE greatest break up song ever lol
    too bad he's still depressed...

  62. T.... ....

    @bradlinification let's not dance to Joy Division, Joy Division is not inspiring.

  63. A.... H....

    :D yeeeeaaaaaah

  64. ..... a....

    @Heyjudeiliketurtles
    Hey dude,you live in U.S so you may find their records even in a drugstore!!!!!

  65. ..... a....

    @bradlinification
    Ian was a sad person,he wouldn't dance with this song...

  66. ..... a....

    BEST BAND IN THE WORLD...

  67. �.... ....

    I fucking love Indie pop / Post Punk !!!
    is extreme feeling without being "emo"

  68. s.... ....

    @RockSalami Yh I agree, some of their songs do. But not this one in my opinion.

  69. q.... ....

    makes me sad and happy!!!:D

  70. B.... S....

    @splinter360 It's a reference to the Wombats song "Let's Dance to Joy Division."

  71. s.... ....

    Don't know what all the joy division comparisons are on this song. This sounds nothing like joy division. Its more like the The smiths. Anyhow descent song

  72. C.... A....

    @TheMangoqueen
    NO PUDO EXPRESAR MI AMOR POR ESTA CANSION...me encanta tambien

  73. K.... H....

    @joru100 Ian Curtis was in Joy Division not New Order but both are great bands :D the lead singer reminds me of Ian.

  74. C.... R....

    @vinnieFTW

    An amazing choice! :D

  75. J.... T....

    Peruvian flute band surfwave.

  76. M.... ....

    Foals, Bloc Party, Delphic, and now The Drums.
    Fuck it's good shit.
    Indie Rock! <3

  77. F.... H....

    All, ok, 90%, of their sonx are really good. Mixed between da Beachboys anda 80th of the last century. very nice idea. And sounds so good like this.
    PS.: Hear every song three times and you´ll be Drums Fanatic.
    By the way

  78. M.... ....

  79. L.... F....

    @dulceisha indie/surf

  89. M.... M....

    I heard this song for the first time Friday night, one of the catchiest songs ever! I'm especially lovin the vintage 60s influence. We definitely need more bands like this, for real!

  90. M.... P....

  91. V.... ....
