Lyrics
[Soft Felt Piano Intro]
the television glows its blue evening square, I still see.
a cassette clicks into the whirring deck.
[Verse 1]
we sink where the cushion remembers our shape, calm and easy.
static snows across the opening credits, a soft hum.
you pass the bowl without a word between us, rest and stay.
the remote rests loose in the dip of your lap, I still see.
[Pre-Chorus]
every scene we quote before it plays, drawing us in.
the blanket pulls the cold right out of the room, we won't leave, we won't leave.
[Chorus]
we watch the old film.
laughter spills soft over the worn cotton, wrapping us whole.
the screen paints shadows across your calm face, slowing the hour.
we watch the old film.
[Verse 2]
the popcorn pops in a slow lazy rhythm, other nights.
you mouth the line that always makes me grin, we lean in.
my shoulder finds the exact curve of your own, soft as evening.
the remote rests loose in the dip of your lap, rest and stay.
[Chorus]
we watch the old film.
laughter spills soft over the worn cotton, wrapping us whole.
the screen paints ripples across your calm face, slowing the hour.
we watch the old film.
[Bridge]
Oh, we sink where the cushion remembers our shape, let it last, let it last.
you pass the bowl without a word between us, I breathe now, I breathe now.
the remote rests loose in the dip of your lap — I am here, I am here.
[Chorus]
we watch the old film.
laughter spills soft over the worn cotton, wrapping us whole.
the screen paints ripples across your calm face, slowing the hour.
we watch the old film.
[Outro]
the television glows its blue evening square...
we watch the old film.
[Fade Out]
[End]
