I was scared of dentists in the dark, I was scared of pretty girls and starting conversations
So all my friends are turning green, you're the magician's assistant in their dream
Ooh, I'm that common star
Lady, running down to the riptide, taking away to the dark side
I wanna be your left-handed man, I love you when you're singing that song
And I got a lump in my throat cause you're gonna sing the words wrong
There's this movie that I think you'll like
This guy decides to quit his job and heads to New York City
This cowboy's running from himself
And she's been living on the highest shelf
Ooh, I'm that common star
Lady, running down to the riptide, taking away to the dark side
I wanna be your left-handed man, I love you when you're singing that song
And I got a lump in my throat cause you're gonna sing the words wrong
I just wanna, I just wanna know
If you're gonna, if you're gonna know


If you're gonna stay
I just gotta, I just gotta know
I can have it, I can have it any other way
I swear she's destined for the screen
Closest thing to me, she'll fight for that you've ever seen
Lady, running down to the riptide, taking away to the dark side
I wanna be your left-handed man
I got a lump in my throat cause you're gonna sing the words wrong
I love you when you're singing that song

Lady, rolling down to the riptide, taking away to the dark side
I wanna be your left-handed man, I love you when you're singing that song
I got a lump in my throat cause you're gonna sing the words wrong
Lady, running down to the riptide, taking away to the dark side



Running down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left hand man
I love you when you're singing that song
And I got a lump in my throat
Cause you're gonna sing the words wrong
I got a lump in my throat
Cause you're gonna sing the words wrong
