How to Lose at Video Games

from Beat Nostalgia by Captain Polaroid

/

lyrics

Here I am again, writing songs instead of living
and everything's the same as it was almost a decade ago.
In fact I could wake up tomorrow in 2001
and I'd never realise that I travelled back in time.
Every chord I play sounds strange and every word I sing is strained.

If you can see yourself heading somewhere else you're lucky.
I can't see past next week. Tomorrow. An hour. Five minutes.
A hard thing to accept is that soon I will forget to breathe
and they won't know what they should say about me or my life.
The only thing I've learnt today is how to lose at video games.

A heart too heavy is an art to envy, yes a heart too heavy is an art to envy!
