Filament, Come Back

[Verse 1] You were warm from the second I flipped that switch Little halo in a dusty glass cage You hummed low while I read through the night Kept my dog-eared pages awake [Chorus] Oh filament lightbulb What happened to you? They screwed in a stranger where you used to bloom This new glare flickers Fades every month Oh filament lightbulb Come back to this room [Verse 2] You took years just to slowly grow tired Soft brown ring on your fragile thin neck You went out once And when you went out You went out with quiet respect [Chorus] Oh filament lightbulb What happened to you? They screwed in a stranger where you used to bloom This cold shine stutters Dies every month Oh filament lightbulb Come back to this room [Bridge] Now I stand on this chair just to chase one more spark Twisting glass in the dark like a fool (like a fool) Talking up to the socket To the space where you lived As if begging could bring back a jewel [Chorus] Oh filament lightbulb I still wait for you In this tired little lamp by the old worn-out books This bright Brittle tenant keeps breaking my trust Oh filament lightbulb I miss how you looked Oh filament lightbulb Come back if you could
