Candle​-​Lit and Nervous

lyrics

I've been feeling hopeless
Candle-lit and nervous
Like a movie scene but not so glamorous
Still don't have a purpose
Main Character Motive
Just out of our teens and never growing up

Yeah my voice ain't broke and I still can't tie my shoes
And my grandparents are still watching the BBC News
And my phone it hasn't died because it's bigger than you
And I'm not terrified that this planet could really die
And my first thought wasn't "hey man can i have your wi-fi?"
It was taking off my shoes cos well now that's just polite

I've been feeling hopeless
Candle-lit and nervous
Like a movie scene but not so glamorous
Still don't have a purpose
Main Character Motive
Just out of our teens and never growing up
Die for our perspective
While being deflective
Still believe in memes more than our own government
Kinda love that's hopeless
Can't tie down emotions
Just out of our teens and never growing up

And I've been 'rocking kicks' like it's still 2006
And I've been singing tik tok rather than scrolling on it
And now my dream girl can take me to an MCR Gig
I'm not saying that I'm not a modernist I just like
To reminisce and take the piss
Chill out and look at some vines
Maybe instead of drinking lean we could just sip on some wine

I've been feeling hopeless
Candle-lit and nervous
Like a movie scene but not so glamorous
Still don't have a purpose
Main Character Motive
Just out of our teens and never growing up
Die for our perspective
While being deflective
Still believe in memes more than our own government
Kinda love that's hopeless
Can't tie down emotions
Just out of our teens and never growing up

Just wanna go to bed
You really should have said
Just wanna go to bed
You really should have said
Just wanna go to bed
You really should have said
