Lester Special

Lyrics

It was a cold hard winter
He found a box in the attic
Inside were times much simpler
He caught a glimpse through the static
Press play on a memory
Frozen in time like a figurine
Fell head first into a dream
A broken heart, a tragedy

Please don't go away, away, don't leave me here!
I need you to say, to say have no fear
You said you'd come back, but all this time I've been alone
Just stay a minute longer
can't do this on my own

It was a springtime season
He found the box in the attic
The search of rhyme or reason
Thawed ribbons and plastic
A magnetic memory
A voice in high fidelity
Analog signal time machine
A captive held eternally

Please don't go away, away, don't leave me here!
I need you to say, to say have no fear
You said you'd come back, but all this time I've been alone
Just stay a minute longer
can't do this on my own

I see a kid with his heart on his sleeve and he lives in a land full of make believe
And he thinks all he needs is to find the key
"does anybody out there really love me?"
He wanders all alone in his own story
"Is there anybody out there who even loves me?"

It was the summer season
no box in the attic
A new tale to believe in
A life freed from the static
Erase broken memories
Submerged in time like a submarine
Projected phase and frequency
Brought to life inside a screen

Please don't go away, away, don't leave me here!
I need you to say, to say have no fear
You said you'd come back, but all this time I've been alone
Just stay a minute longer
can't do this on my own
