Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] Squeaky wheels on the library floor Alphabetizing near the back door Found a fern in 1984 (Wait, that’s just a book) My hands are feeling shaky And my focus is quite hazy Maybe I’m just being lazy But you’re all I’m looking for [Pre-Chorus] Pressed green lace on page ten You’re back at the desk again Sci-fi worlds and ink-stained pens I’m tripping over my own feet Trying to act all discreet In this dusty little retreat [Chorus] Maybe we could watch a tape Find a static-filled escape Burnt popcorn in the air I’ll pretend I didn’t stare Just a tiny perfect dream Stitched together at the seam Yeah, you know what I mean [Post-Chorus] (Glockenspiel flourishes) It’s a tiny perfect dream (Yeah, exactly like that) [Verse] Dropped a hardback on my toe Watching where the shadows go You look up and say hello (Ad-lib: oh, hi there) My heart hits a sudden low I’m a clumsy kind of fellow In a sweater that is yellow Moving way too slow [Pre-Chorus] Pressed green lace on page ten You’re back at the desk again Sci-fi worlds and ink-stained pens I’m tripping over my own feet Trying to act all discreet In this dusty little retreat [Chorus] Maybe we could watch a tape Find a static-filled escape Burnt popcorn in the air I’ll pretend I didn’t stare Just a tiny perfect dream Stitched together at the seam Yeah, you know what I mean [Bridge] Magnetic tape and plastic shells Ringing all my inner bells Tracking lines across the screen Finest thing I’ve ever seen We don’t need the high-def glow Just the fuzzy way we know [Hook] Fern fronds and VHS A beautiful, dusty mess Fern fronds and VHS I must confess I’m a mess [Chorus] Maybe we could watch a tape Find a static-filled escape Burnt popcorn in the air I’ll pretend I didn’t stare Just a tiny perfect dream Stitched together at the seam Yeah, you know what I mean [Outro]
