TV Dream - Larkins

How I wish I’d called you up just to hear you breathe

The sound of serotonin makes it hard for me to sleep

I need to ask you questions

Like would you want to dance?

There’s demons in our mind, and they scream when it’s too bright

We’re animals in costume, tonight we’re dressed in white

I need to get the words out

Like poetry ain’t dead yet, it ain’t dead yet

I wanna take you dancin', I wanna paint the street

Take my lungs if you need to breathe

Take my heart if you need a beat

I wanna take you dancin', like on a silver screen

Still young, we were born into a TV dream

How I wish I’d called your name out

But I couldn’t see your eyes

The audience aren’t watchin', 'cause tonight we’re in disguise

The world don’t know her name yet

And the world don’t know her face

She slips away

I wanna take you dancin', I wanna paint the street

Take my lungs if you need to breathe

Take my heart if you need to beat

I wanna take you dancin', like on a silver screen

Still young, we were born into a TV dream

When the world has lost its mind

With plastic love, with space and time

Will boys and girls still play the same?

The news will say we’ll all be fine

I don’t believe what I’m seeing

On the TV screen

I can’t believe what I’m hearing

It makes no sense to me

Don’t need no excuses

Like why’d you get dressed like that?

If you could take it back, would you take it back?

I wanna take you dancin', I wanna paint the street

Take my lungs if you need to breathe

Take my heart if you need a beat

I wanna take you dancin', like on a silver screen

Still young, we were born into a TV dream
