Get Unspooled

from Cotillion Knives by The Qualia

/

lyrics

When the night moves on too slow,
don’t let it bring you down.
You filled your big house up with memories,
you’ve got them to kick around.

Pretend it’s still ’91.
Pretend you know how to have fun,
that it’s your decade to run,
and all your friends will come.
Blow all the dust off your tapes,
get on the phone with old heartbreak.
Wear geometrical shapes
until the feeling takes.

When the night moves on too slow,
don’t let it bring you down.

Think back and get unspooled
with those fed-up girls home from art school.
The smell of smoke and shampoo,
when all whispers were true.
Fingernails through your hair,
the touch of breath on the night air.
You faded out upstairs,
so imagine you’re still there.
