love is a laserquest

insanı pamuk gibi yapan, aklınızda birisi varsa kahreden arctic monkeys şarkısı. günlük hayatın acelesine, telaşına; yeni insanlara, kalıcılara, geçicilere takılmışken, günün ortasında, bir anda aklınıza düşen bir kişi vardır ya. unuttum dersiniz, zaten kaç senedir konuşmadık; soğudum şöyle oldu böyle oldu. ama artık bir parçası olmuştur kişiliğinizin. onu sıradanlaştıramazsınız. kelimelere dökülmüş.

do you still feel younger than you thought you were by now?
or darling have you started feeling old yet?
don't worry, im sure that you're still breaking hearts
with the efficiency that only youth can harness.
and do you still think love is a laserquest?
or do you take it all more seriously?
i've tried to ask you this in some daydreams that i've had
but you're always busy being make-believe
and do you look into the mirror to remind yourself you're there?
or have somebody's goodnight kisses got that covered?
when i'm not being honest, I pretend that you were just some lover
now i can't think of there without thinking of you
i doubt that comes as a surprise
and i can't think of anything to dream about
i can't find anywhere to hide
and when i'm hanging on by the rings around my eyes
and i convince myself I need another
and for a minute it gets easy to pretend that you were just some lover
when i'm pipe and slippers and rocking chair
singing dreadful songs about summer
well, i have found a better method
of pretending you were just some lover
well, i have found a better method
of pretending you were just some lover.
