about

This is TV Screen, the oldest song on the EP. Jack first recorded this as a voice memo while driving down the highway (but in a very safe way of course) and a year or so later brought the idea to Khue to collaborate on. It's the introspective candy pop of your dreams. Or at least the cover star dino, Elizabeth, is.

lyrics

This isn't the prettiest voice
you have ever heard
and you know the prettiest boys
i've tried so hard to feel secure

but i'm not and i'm
standing on the edge
but this is a cliff where you've built a home
i know you're weight's a little number that will
tear away at your soul

but i'd rather be caught up in the suburbs
your grass stained jeans from messing around
then hiding under your covers
just past the witching hour
i told you all of my numbers
and you tried to keep yours down
but love come on

CHORUS:
i've got no doubt about it
my girlfriend's on the TV screen
and i've got no doubt about it now
she's got a white dress
gold dreams
and everything that i have just screams
no doubt about it now
that she doesn't eat

This isn’t the prettiest place
You have ever seen
So I feel there must’ve been a mistake
When you decided to spend a night with me

And you’re saying words
That I know are gonna burn
I take the mirror and I put it down
You say you seem so unafraid
Of the people we used to be
I guess you really don’t see me now

As you go out and get more fame
A camera looks at you and you feel the scars
Did we ever not feel this way
‘Bout our dreams, our lives, and our stretch marks
I know you still have your dreams
They’re still pulling at your heart
But this is a hell of a price to pay my love

CHORUS

Forget the stars they’re gonna fade
We all thought love would be the final fix someday
I catch you laughing as somebody says “the ecstasy is great”
And “no high is high enough to keep you sane”
You’re wearing a white satin dress
And you’ve never seemed so cadaverous
Your friends say you look like a model or a dream, a magazine
But the page turns and you feel it

I close my eyes on the ride home
See you rolling up my favorite jeans
And running wild in the wilderness
That was sycamore creek
I knew we’d go to find some city lights
But never thought I’d come back for peace
Love come on
