Screensaver – Wilbur Soot

I know that’s not you on the bus ’cause you always take taxis
So the thought that’d I’d see you in London is just a fake fantasy
I wish you hadn’t said that to my heart when you took that away from me
Well, that’s in the past like I’ll never see who’s in the backseat

And I hate your reasoning take what you need from my past
Construct a pretty story about a first love
But you’d never have touched my heart if you thought it would mean progress
So take what you need from the past and construct your new moments

And it’s you – I didn’t think that I’d have to say
But I miss you and think of you almost every single day
And it’s you – I thought I would be braver
But you left me too long, my heart flipped to a screensaver
To a screensaver…

Put me in your book when you inevitably make it to fame
Just make sure you’re proxy, make sure to use my fake name
Call me Hitler, no one will notice the fucking difference
Call it Stalingrad, starve them out this time you’ll write the history books

But I love your reasoning take what you need from my past
We’ll try again, we’ll pretend this could last
You can touch my heart, make sure it’s dead, you know you’ll never make progress
When the spark inside me has gone, I’m just a two-chambered coke-head

But it’s you – I didn’t think that I’d have to say
But darling, I miss you and think of you almost every single day
And it’s you – I thought I would be braver
But you left me too long, my heart flipped to a screensaver
To a screensaver…

I’m just your screensaver
