Press pause
Flip the cassette
Rewind a bit
Hit reset
I’m sorry
Reset me
When I fail to exceed
All expectation
Again I’m flailing

Shaking in the dark
While I’m trying to be
Everything you need
It’s just not me
Sleeping on caffeine
Awake at the end
The day is done again
Spinning again
With you in my head
Hit reset

When you can’t breathe
You’re just like me
Twisted tape
Black my tongue
Mouth agape
All colours run
Spin the circle 
Rewind the tape
Maybe next week
You’ll be in touch again

What did you expect
From a song like me
Darkness falls
When you want to sing
Hit pause
Skip a track
Flip the tape
Can I go back
Will I come unstuck
Hit reset
Bring me vinyl
Find a new track
I’m better warped, in black

What would you die for?
