Lyric Of The Day: “VHS”

l_7c266c1b3f804940a751636082b325da

Our love is on VHS. Nowadays it doesn’t play.
I don’t care you’re still the best, even if you don’t see me that way
I started all that nonsense talk about what we should try to be
But I could never walk the walk and I can’t watch this DVD
The menu screen is kinda cool and extra features teach me stuff
But I already played the fool. I know by now I’ve had enough
I’m tired of being a fool. I’ve had enough. I’ve had enough.

My friends tell me to skip this scene but I just wanna press rewind
Slow and hard not fast and clean. I am gonna take my time.
But one day I’ll break down, I bet and try their fancy shmancy shit
Until then this old cassette is what I watch and that is it.
The menu screen is kinda cool and extra features teach me stuff
But I already played the fool. I know by now I’ve had enough
Don’t have the nerve to get you back so I’m going into town
Find myself a Radio Shack and lay my money down. Lay my money down.

Our love is a VCR, cold and black and obsolete.
If the past is where we are then the past is where I wanna be
The past is where I wanna be, The past is where I wanna be
The past is where I wanna be, shove your fucking DVD.
