Screensaver
Wilbur Lyrics

I know that's not you on the bus 'cause you always take taxis
I am aware that it is not you on the bus since you typically prefer taxis.

So the thought that I'd see you in London is just a fake fantasy
The possibility of encountering you in London is merely a fabricated daydream.

I wish you hadn't said that to my heart when you took that away from me
I desire you had not spoken those words to me right before you took my heart away.

Well that's in the past like I'll never see who's in the backseat
That point in time is behind us, the same way as I will never know who is in the back of the car.

And I hate your reasoning
I intensely dislike your way of thinking.

Take what you need from my past
Take only what is essential from my past.

Construct a pretty story about a first love
Create an attractive narrative about a young romance.

But you'd never have touched my heart if you thought it would mean progress
You would not have established a connection with me if you believed it would lead to improvement.

So take what you need from the past
Therefore, carefully select only the necessary elements from the past.

And construct those new moments
Use these selected elements to create new moments.

And it's you
It is no one else but you.

I didn't think that I'd have to say
I did not anticipate that I would need to express this.

But I miss you and think of you almost every single day
But the truth is, I long for you and reminisce about you almost daily.

And it's you
Indeed, it is you.

I thought I would be braver
I was under the impression that I would be more courageous.

But I've missed you too long
However, I have gone without you for an extended period of time.

My heart flipped to a screensaver
As a result, my heart has reverted to an idle state, like a screensaver on a computer.

Put me in your book when you inevitably make it to fame
Include me in your autobiography when you inevitably become famous.

Just make sure you're proxy
But please make sure you conceal my identity.

Make sure to use my fake name
Use the false name I provided.

Call me Hitler, no one will notice the fucking difference
Refer to me as Hitler, as no one will be able to tell the substitution.

Call it Stalingrad, starve them out, this time you'll write the history books
If you choose to write about a battle, refer to it as Stalingrad, and describe the siege that resulted in victory - this retelling will become the history.

But I love your reasoning
However, I am fond of your method of thinking.

Take what you need from my past
Again, take only the necessary bits from my past.

We'll try again
We will endeavor to start again.

We'll pretend this could last
We will fool ourselves into believing that our situation will have a future.

You can touch my heart, make sure it's dead
You may have access to my heart, but ensure it is no longer functioning.

You know you'll never make progress
You must acknowledge that we cannot improve our circumstances.

Cause the spark inside me has gone
The passion within me has been extinguished.

I'm just a two-chambered coke-head
I am a depleted drug addict with only half a heart remaining.

But it's you
Nonetheless, it is still you.

Didn't think that I'd have to say
I did not expect to have to repeat myself.

But darling, I miss you and think of you almost every single day
Nevertheless, my dear, I ache for you and ponder about you incessantly.

And it's you
It remains you.

I thought I would be braver
I believed myself to possess more courage.

But you left me too long
However, you have been gone for far too much time.

My heart switched to a screensaver
My heart has returned to its idle state, like a screensaver on a computer.

To a screensaver
Back to idle, like a screensaver.

I'm just your screensaver
I am just a fragment of your idle thoughts, like a screensaver on a computer.
