Small Plastic Heart
Elder Island Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dancing in your bedroom
To new cassette singles
Where the light from the window
Falls on us in equal parts

It's a grey stone path, connects our past
And the wind that howled only brushed our backs
Two parts, two paths, one past, two halves

Small plastic heart (one half)
Small plastic heart (all I'd ever want, one half)
Small plastic heart (one half)
Small plastic heart (all I'd ever want, one half)

Whispers in the bedroom
Stories on a passing thread
Moonlight at the window
Falls on us in equal parts

It's a grey stone path, connects our past
And the wind that howled only brushed our backs
Two parts, two paths, one past, two halves

Small plastic heart (one hour)
Small plastic heart (all I'd ever want, one hour)
Small plastic heart (one hour)
Small plastic heart (all I'd ever want)

And I could be any, anything, in your vision
And we shared a world with a glow and a rhythm
So why don't we leave the light on?
So why don't we leave the light on?

So why don't we leave the light on?
So why don't we leave the light on?

The production on this is immaculate, I think the way they achieve their unique sound is layering/synchronizing vinyl, digital and live performance tracks at the same time. This slaps.
