VCR Home Video

Open up a can of worms

I was your child but somehow the roles reversed

Left on less than perfect terms

But you were my blueprint, my first word I learnt

And every now and then I catch a glimpse of what we had

When we laugh

Ha-ha, ha-ha, ha-ha

We're a car crash in slow motion

So before we hit the ocean

Can we take a little time to reminisce?

In a VCR home video

There's a ghost of us from long ago

Now it is what it is

It is what it is

I rolled the tape backwards

While you were so sad, I'm right there chasing birds

And when I learned to curse

And when I slammed my door, I never meant to hurt you

And every now and then I catch a glimpse of what we had

When we laugh

Ha-ha, ha-ha, ha-ha

We're a car crash in slow motion

So before we hit the ocean

Can we take a little time to reminisce?

In a VCR home video

There's a ghost of us from long ago

Now it is what it is

It is what it is

It is what it is

Oh, it is what it is

Open up a can of worms

I was your child but somehow the roles reversed
