lyrics

Hey, last night was fun.
How do you like to spend your spare time?
Are you with anyone?
Is there another fish on your line?

Hey, I’ll be the first to reveal
I haven’t gone out in a long time.
Romance is a dusty film reel
up in the attic of my mind.

I’m exhausted.
I’m so tired.
Nothing seems to
light my fire.
For two long years I’ve been a cynical ego-king.
So cover me in gasoline and
burn away my icy demeanor.
Strike a match.
Spark your lighter.
Come in close,
light my fire.

As I lay in the dark,
I found myself hoping
for a combustible spark
- an epiphanic moment.
This is like a VHS cassette,
too much white noise at the start,
but there’s a subtle vignette
to make the edges less hard.
We haven’t seen this one yet
but I bet there’s a good part,
and by the end you’ll forget
the static noise at the start.

I’m exhausted.
I’m so tired.
Nothing seems to
light my fire.
For two long years I’ve been a cynical ego-king.
So cover me in gasoline and
burn away my icy demeanor.
Strike a match.
Spark your lighter.
Come in close,
light my fire.

In between the hedgerow,
we were goin’ our separate ways
- out of an old TV show
on a VHS cassette tape.
You said there was something I should know,
you we’re riding the waves of a never-ending shipwreck.
Our eyes met,
you moved close,
and now you’re on a shelf in my head.

Now you’re a VHS Cassette
sitting on a shelf in my head.
