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 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
