Xerox Heart

[Intro]
[Verse]
Down the stairs to the basement floor
Sneaking through the heavy door
Safety pins on a denim vest
Passing every social test
Toner dust and cheap cologne
Standing in the static zone
DIY patches on the sleeve
Giving me a reason to believe
[Pre-Chorus]
I look so bored, I look so dry
Adjusting my thin black tie
But inside I’m a neon light
Burning through the Tuesday night
My pulse is hitting one-two-two
Waiting for a point of view
[Chorus]
Xerox heart in a static haze
Lost inside the paper maze
Cherry soda on my leather sleeve
I’m never gonna want to leave
Shout it out and let it go
Watching the underground show
Yeah, we got the magic spark
Dancing in the velvet dark
[Post-Chorus]
Cut and paste
Such a waste
Glue stick taste
Move with haste
[Verse]
Failed magician by the magazines
Trading tricks for jelly beans
Staples in the poetry
Looking like a symphony
Found a photo of a boy I know
Caught in the glow-in-the-dark show
He looks like a grainy ghost
To the one I like the most
[Hook]
Click, flash, polaroid
Filling up the empty void
Click, flash, polaroid
Something that I can't avoid
[Chorus]
Xerox heart in a static haze
Lost inside the paper maze
Cherry soda on my leather sleeve
I’m never gonna want to leave
Shout it out and let it go
Watching the underground show
Yeah, we got the magic spark
Dancing in the velvet dark
[Bridge]
Stars on the ceiling are glowing green
Best thing that I’ve ever seen
Ink on my palm like a fresh tattoo
Everything is feeling new
Modal shifts and rubbery bass
Everything is in its place
I’m giddy but I’m acting cold
Breaking every single mold
[Solo]
[Build-up]
One, two, three, four
Tell me what you’re waiting for
Five, six, seven, eight
Don't you dare be late
[Chorus]
Xerox heart in a static haze
Lost inside the paper maze
Cherry soda on my leather sleeve
I’m never gonna want to leave
Shout it out and let it go
Watching the underground show
Yeah, we got the magic spark
Dancing in the velvet dark
[Post-Chorus]
Cut and paste
Such a waste
Glue stick taste
Move with haste
[Outro]
