Release the Spider Cut

Intro

Oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

(Yeah yeah)

Verse 1

Met you at the midnight picture show

Cheap seats and a worn-out romance

You played Bogart in a trench coat

I was Bacall with the second glance

Spit my gum on the ticket stub

Bought your popcorn just to steal your arm

Two punks in a matinee fog

Falling fast in the cinema dark

Chorus

And I want you like the ending I rewrote

(Like the ending I rewrote)

You're the reel that keeps on spinning in my throat

(Spinning in my throat)

Cut the scene

Hold me slow

Say my name before you go

I want you like the ending I rewrote

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

(Woah)

Verse 2

You wore your heart like a leather jacket

Zipped it up in the balcony row

Kissed me twice on the fire escape

Held my hand like a dare you know

I traced your jaw like a film reel frame

Every blink was a lighting cue

You said nothing lasts in this town

Then you stayed like you always do

Chorus

And I want you like the ending I rewrote

(Like the ending I rewrote)

You're the reel that keeps on spinning in my throat

(Spinning in my throat)

Cut the scene

Hold me slow

Say my name before you go

I want you like the ending I rewrote

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

(Woah)

Bridge

Hold still

Hold still

Let the projector burn us raw

I'll be Brando if you're the flaw

Hold still

Hold still

Chorus

And I want you like the ending I rewrote

(Like the ending I rewrote)

You're the reel that keeps on spinning in my throat

(Spinning in my throat)

Cut the scene

Hold me slow

Say my name before you go

I want you like the ending I rewrote

Outro

Oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

(Woah)

Yeah yeah
