lyrics

The lamp isn’t working, it used to burn bright
And shine with Plasticine colour
My mother’s in my head saying hold you tight
But the fear of commitment’s my fathers

And my screaming heart only lightens its tone
When the slam of a door makes you all mine alone

And water is scarce, there’s not much to drink
If you want not some vodka you’ll trek to the sink
Your friends have left, and mine are long gone
Go fetch some blankets I’m chilled to the bone

And my screaming heard only lightens its tone
When the slam of a door makes you all mine alone

So meet me
Where you met me
Where we said we’d
Not forget the
Work we put in
Shaky footing
No, I couldn’t
Just be your friend

Meet me alone in the place where it started
I’ll steal some keys and we’ll both crash the party
My lamp isn’t working it used to burn bright
And shine with Plasticine colour
My mothers in my head saying hold you tight
But my dad has to one-up with tighter

And my screaming heart only lightens its tone
When the slam of a door makes you all mine alone
When the slam of a door makes you all mine alone
