Hyperreal

A stretch of road

A strip of film

A car that goes wherever it will

With the windows down

You know the drill

And every scene’s a different place

Every minute’s a mile I embrace

‘Cause I would go anywhere

As long as it means

Your face pressed to the glass

Of the car I’m driving way too fast

Towards neon cities

Shining so pretty

I watch the tape

I press rewind

Cut out the parts where

We’re not doing fine

So we stay pretty

So you still love me

I wanna be back

In your atmosphere

Lay on my back

‘Til the feeling’s hyperreal

And my lungs begin to heal

I wanna take back

All the things I said

Subvert the actors and actresses

Make my life a movie where

You’re the highlight reel

The moon’s a stone

I’ve seen it up close

You keep it in a jar

The car careens

We stay in place

Every minute’s a knot

That you unlace

Cause I would go anywhere

As long as it means

My face pressed to the glass

Of the car you’re driving way too fast

Towards neon nothing

Just to feel something

I wanna be back

In your atmosphere

Lay on my back

‘Til the feeling’s hyperreal

And my lungs begin to heal

I wanna take back

All the things I said

Subvert the actors and actresses

Make my life a movie where

You’re the highlight reel

We blur past everything

I zoom in on your crooked smile

We blur past everything

I wanna stay inside your head

For a little while longer

It’s the scene when

The wind and I

Play with your hair

It’s the part when

The tape ends

And you are no longer there

I wanna be back

In your atmosphere

Lay on my back

‘Til the feeling’s hyperreal

And my lungs begin to heal

I wanna take back

All the things I said

Subvert the actors and the actresses

Make my life a movie where

You’re the highlight reel

We blur past everything

I wanna stay inside your head

For a little while longer
