lyrics

love's a furnace
burns when you're closer
but it's colder in the distance
that's your fortress
cut off all my hair off, and I let the phone ring
pull down the blind, now the twelve know nothing
static and a hiss like vinyl records
my eternal sunshine
only three days and then you come back and
actin like you was just acting, actually
seen this one before I slammed the door
your waaaay's way less flashy
dont we look just like kodachrome
i've seen you with your mask off
an I still believe there's life on mars
I still believe in nasa

straight up, straight up
straight up, straight up
straight up, straight up
you said it, you left it
straight up straight up
straight up, straight up
straight up, straight up
on the nod out, since I dropped out

like time moves backwards I jumped out the taxi faster
then I trade some andrew jacksons for satisfaction
starin at your face in the ceiling see
it's just a pipe dream it's real to me
waiting for my flight to the golden city
but til then it's boston
aladdin sane, london calling
playin all the songs that take me back
music that could laugh and swoon and move you
music then was made to last
that circle I used to know
we don't talk that often
back then I was someone else
and that's me being honest

everything's electric , my adolescence
empty all the bottles but never send a message
communicate raw like you in my heart
I won't be waiting for long
big spender , november
hittin the beat like rain on the windows
after fires we get the embers
i'm caught in the game now, super nintendo
