The Shabs - Just Like Light Lyrics

Let's write a script and make a horrible movie
About our lives
So all our friends can see how smart and witty and insightful we are

I'll play you
You play me for objectivity and comic relief
I'll draw the poster
You can hum the movie score

So just like light we'll leak through cracks and we'll illuminate the room
We'll fall like crumbs
Between couch cushions
While you watch the morning news
We'll steal seconds
Where we can until they add up to a year
A year we could've spent at home

Let's write a cheesy folk song about opportunity and falling in love
We'll use no more than three chords and build the chorus with some sweet harmonies
I'll play my cheapest guitar to give the feeling that we're so down to earth
I'll write the lyrics
You can hum the melody

So just like light we'll leak through cracks and we'll illuminate the room
We'll fall like crumbs
Between couch cushions
While you watch the morning news
We'll steal seconds
Where we can until they add up to a year
A year we could've spent at home

So write me a book full of all of your trials and tribulations
I'll read it out loud to my friends
Don't hold anything back and make sure it's emotional Use a lot of similes, avoid using metaphors
While you write the manuscript
I'll be here singing this song

So just like light we'll leak through cracks and we'll illuminate the room
We'll fall like crumbs
Between couch cushions
While you watch the morning news
We'll steal seconds
Where we can until they add up to a year
A year we could've spent at home
