lyrics

Light Switch Spring

Verse 1
winter came and stole my heart again, left me feelin old
ive been daydreaming, ive been scheemin
bout how i could survice through the cold
while im stuck here in this big grey box so i can pay the heater man
go home to my little yellow box when the bos says i can
where all the hinges are bent from all the wind and the rain
today everybody mispronounced my name
theres ice on the windscreen, i cant see a thing
all i ever wanted was a light switch

Chorus
spring spring want a light switch spring
i want a switch that i can flick and its the
spring that it brings, i want a
spring spring want a light switch spring
coz its cold and its lonely, i lost everything
spring spring want a light switch spring
i want a switch that i can flick and its the
spring that it brings, i want a
spring spring want a light switch spring
just think of all the things that spring might bring

Verse 2
when winter comes back im gonna hibernate
my hair’l stand on end and ill put on weight
but i wont be stuck in this box anymore
i’ll hide outside, the boss can close the door
coz if the cold doesnt get me then the routine will
the snow will start to fall at the top of the hill
when my fingers go numb and i cant feel a thing
all ill ever ask for is a light switch

Chorus

Tag
coz im full of doubt and it’s lookin grim
oh no not winter, want sunbeams for dinner
the walls are closing in on me
the lights gettin dimmer, gonna slide
down on into the spring and
forget about all the miserable things
