Closing Track (Linger On) Lyrics

Don't you don't get sentimental

A thought that makes you settle

The things you were retaining

Now your reach is straining

And you liked heavy metal

And cast iron to kettles

But soon you rust away

I cut my fingers on the rusty frets

And set him free

So wipe the blood on that old cassette

And play it for me

You danced to songs that made you mellow

The nights that turned you yellow

The plans you were replacing

But now your mind is racing

And you liked rainy weather

Kept your postcards in a blender

Cause you never learned to read

When you spoke to ghosts that wore you sweaters

In dreams you sent them letters

The lies you were retracing

But now your pulse is racing

And you like cold November

Like the candles you remember

And soon it slips away

I cut my fingers on the rusty frets

And set him free

So wipe the blood on that old cassette

And play it for me

Wait now, wait now

Linger on

Slow down, slow down

Just linger on

Hold on, hold on

Linger on

Wait now, wait now

Linger on

Slow down, slow down

Just linger on

Hold on, hold on

Linger on

Wait now, wait now

Linger on

Slow down, slow down

Just linger on

Hold on, hold on

Linger on

Wait now, wait now

Linger on

Slow down, slow down

Just linger on

Hold on, hold on

Linger on
