lyrics

If I call you up

get you on the phone

and I get worked up

well I think you know

That I think you’re more

than you really are

but it’s not your fault


When you talk, I take your words

build skyscrapers

but always, they are empty

And looking out the window from the top floor

there’s no city


So I’m up high

You left me here

I realize

you’re not hyperreal

I heard you say it

“Won’t disappear”

Yet here I lay, and

you’re not hyperreal


If we start again

ignore the truth

try to make amends

well I look at you

Look for myself

but there’s someone else now

All along you’ve held out


Yet still, I take your words

build skyscrapers

and always, they are empty

And looking out the window

from the top floor

there’s no city


So I’m up high

You left me here

I realize

You’re not hyperreal

I heard you say it

“Won’t disappear”

Yet here I lay, and

You’re not hyperreal


Sometimes I wish for the end of the film in my head

about you

all the things we might do

But then I reach for your hand

Maybe you’d like to hold on to mine too, though that’s not what we do

You know, there was once a time I’d love every move you could make

forgive any mistake

Swore you could bend the horizon

Then I opened my eyes and I knew

open eyes and I knew

You’re not hyperreal


So I’m up high

You left me here

I realize

You’re not hyperreal

I heard you say it

“Won’t disappear”

Yet here I lay, and

You’re not hyperreal
