about

Those pictures of Johnny Depp you cut out--we know you remember--the ones you pasted into your journal. We hope you kept that journal, which is why we kept it for you. This is a song about the escape you can find by constructing your world from the images that surround you, and then the escape from that escape. It's basically the plot of Sixteen Candles, but without the murders, and without Columbo reading it to you. Are we confusing our 80s movies? Yes. Yes we are.

lyrics

Flipping pages, a falling storybook
Cut out the pictures, so careful not to look
‘Til the faces cover
The walls are gone
The world is hers

Chanel scratch, mid teens magazine
Reality is a goddamn tragedy
A few seconds
A few minutes
More than a place to hide

But it’s been too many days
Without the sunlight

Hey!
There’s that feeling she can’t shake
Of dreaming when she’s awake

Outside the lights are clicking on
The perfect sunset above is almost gone
In ten seconds
Tomorrow
Will be ten hours away

The sky blue gives way to indigo
And the silence is almost impossible
Ten steps towards
An open door
The world is hers

Hey!
There’s that feeling she can’t shake
Of dreaming when she’s awake
