Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Mom’s minivan Stale fries Cardboard smell Humming lights Rewound tapes Plastic fight My brother grabs the last good title New releases Crooked rows Thumb on dreams in stickered coats Flip the cases Heart on go Till I hit that awful little note — “all rented” [Chorus] Blockbuster blue Standing in the glow with an empty view Every single cover saying “checked out Too” Growing up was learning that the best ones Aren’t for you Blockbuster blue Kicking at the carpet by the return chute Friday night forever in that waiting room Learning disappointment by the snack bar Blockbuster blue [Verse 2] Crushed list on my sleeve Every week the same three Circle dates on magazine Like I could summon up a screen by wanting Sticky floor Stale gum Strangers’ laughs Buzzing hum Try to trade my pick for crumbs Grab a movie I don’t want and call it “classic” [Chorus] Blockbuster blue Standing in the glow with an empty view Every single cover saying “checked out Too” Growing up was learning that the best ones Aren’t for you Blockbuster blue Kicking at the carpet by the return chute Friday night forever in that waiting room Learning disappointment by the snack bar Blockbuster blue [Bridge] Now it’s endless scroll Endless scroll (ooh) Everything and nothing All at once on hold But I miss that hurt that had a face That little plastic “out” sign staring me in place [Chorus] Blockbuster blue Standing in the glow with an empty view Every single cover saying “checked out Too” Growing up was learning that the best ones Aren’t for you Blockbuster blue Kicking at the carpet by the return chute Friday night forever in that waiting room Learning disappointment by the snack bar Blockbuster blue (hey!) Blockbuster blue
