lirik lagu portastatic – the soft rewind
you held up the telescope
fat end to your eye
and every day after was a catalogue
of how to see the world through a negative lie
pulled the horizon like a blanket over your head
the sun was a rotting orange on a wobbly roll
’til it stopped dead
you called it a stunning sunset
i called it the last of the good light
and a perfect waste of the night
already upon us
there was a point, i started barking like a dog
my command of new languages did not impress you
but the howling drew a crowd
the view from your roof was obscured
by the streetlights glowing red
the cloud cover sucked up the sound
like a new quilt tucked tight in your bed
you called it a stunning sunset
i called it the last of the good light
and a perfect waste of the night
coming down on us
you said, “we can wait for sunrise”
i don’t have that kind of time
and we left the wasted night
waiting for the soft rewind
until the voice said, “this is us”
this is us
