Tegan and Sara - Are You Ten Years Ago DEMO

This is from The Con Demos - a limited edition CD Tegan and Sara released for charity.

What's your opinion? Leave a comment and let me know :)

Here are the lyrics:

If you take it I am yours (if you show you show)
I'm up and doing circles
I'm taken, I am yours I'm up and doing circles (if you go you go)
I'm taken, I am yours I'm up and doing circles (if you show you show)
I'm taken, I am yours I'm up and doing circles (if you go you go)
I collapse
I might stay out longer than I left the light on for you
Then if you show, you show
If you show, you show
When I feel like this
When I get so in
To myself
I lose track of where I'm going and lose track of how to get going again
I feel myself slowing down
Feel myself turning around
Is this taken?
When I feel like this (I feel taken)
When I get so sick of myself
Where are you going now without me (I feel)
And not knowing then, that we're slowing down
You've gotta turn that around (I feel taken when I feel)
And tell me that I'm taken,
Tell me if I'm yours
You collapse
The pressure of this life is so
You can't be held accountable
If you go, you go
If you go, you go
When you act like this
When you get so sick, of yourself
The whole world falls away and since
I feel
Like I have only missed the feeling that I'm here again
The feeling that I'm clear again
I'm not taken
When you act like this (I feel taken)
When you get so in
To yourself I lose sight of common goals (when I feel)
And letting go so I can be all alone
Feel myself, going slow (I feel taken)
Feel myself, letting go
Not taken (when I feel)
Not feeling like I'm yours
I'm taken, I am yours (if you show you show)
I'm up and doing circles
I'm taken, I am yours (if you go you go)
I'm up and doing circles (if you show you show)
I'm taken, I am yours
I'm up and doing circles
I'm taken, I am yours (if you go you go)
I'm up and doing circles
I collapse
This life looks like a sentence, though
A constant game of falling short
If you know, you know
If you know, you know
When I feel like this
When I'm just so sick of feeling less than perfect
Is it right for me I never fight to see if coming clean
Would get to me I feel myself, holding back
I feel the pressure, it's finally back
I'm taken
When you feel like this
When you saw it call come crashing down
Subtle but not underground
I was there
I saw the signs, I saw unfair
And so I write to you
Through other means
I let myself finally feel taken
Like I was yours
If you take it I am yours (I feel taken)
I'm up and doing circles
I'm taken, I am yours (I feel)
I'm up and doing circles
If you take it I am yours (I feel taken)
I'm up and doing circles
I'm taken, I am yours (I feel)
I'm up and doing circles
If you take it I am yours (I feel taken)
I'm up and doing circles
I'm taken, I am yours (I feel)
I'm up and doing circles
If you take it I am yours (I feel taken)
I'm up and doing circles
I'm taken, I am yours (I feel, I feel)
I'm up and doing circles (If you go you go)
I collapse, I collapse I collapse

[Kate1157]

I'm the same when I listen to it. It is amazing - to put it lightly :-)

[Zieza]

nah it's 'Taken I am yours. I'm up and doing circles, I'm taken I am yours I'm up and doing circles' etc etc. I'm pretty sure they had a discussion about the lyrics on their dvd for the con. lol nobody in the band could figure out what Tegan was singing

[BrightEyesAtheist]

Amazing song. Fuck I love T&S<3

[xmisogyny]

it really sounds like she's saying "if you're shakin, i am yours i'm up and doing circles, if you're taken i am yours..."

o_O

[AChivalrousMess]

I have to say, I like the album version better. The drum track is much more sophisticated. And I'm a sucker for a good beat (:

[XBlocPartyX]

She does a better English accent singing this than I have in real-life and I'm English..

[boynamedbri]

I love T&S and this song is one of my favorites of theirs.

PS. Check out my cover. :)

[Guitar3308]

It sounds so much like the album version, because they used the same vocals on the album because "tegan did it so perfect" :) I love this song!

[TheSnoopy1750]

I like their demos more than the album versions.

Can I download demos? I can't find them on iTunes.

[Mikala727]
