As your eyes widen
It’s nature and nurture
Coddled and encapsulated
Do you remember when this is how
The future used to sound

Your eyes or maybe my shoes
Lift me up off the ground
But I’ll be okay
Once I come down

I feel I’ve caught a
Millennium bug
Tug at my heartstrings
Make me do some strange things
States I haven’t dared
Or thought about

Out of a parcan
A blue disco tan
Films I’ve not projected
On a screen already painted
A certain pretty way

As your eyes widen
It’s nature and nurture
Coddled and encapsulated
Do you remember when this is how
The future used to sound

Your eyes or maybe my shoes
Lift me high off the ground
But I’ll be okay
Once I come down

Lights are sliding in
Through glass
It’s like yesterday
Since I’ve known
Your name
