Beethoven Lyrics by Carson Schmidt

Cinema

2018

Sitting here in the cinema
Flashing lights going by
Left your sweatshirt in my back seat and
The scars of your love far behind
I drive alone on a world wide open
So why are you on my mind
I know that it’s foolish and stupid and I’m wastin my time

But I can’t let go of this light show we’re black and gold and alive
We break in half til all I have are these empty hands of mine

And I don’t wanna be played like a violin
But we’re up late and I’m your Beethoven
And my love is your instrument
I swear some day I won’t give in

I thought I had what it takes
To pull the plug on you
For the both of our sakes
Something I can’t bring myself to do
This secret bends and breaks
And we pick up the pieces
And we craft our mistakes
Back together on the creases

But I can’t let go of this light show we’re black and gold and alive
We break in half til all I have are these empty hands of mine

And I don’t wanna be played like a violin
(even though it’s how I’m used to lovin)
But we’re up late and I’m your Beethoven
(light me up and keep me running)
And my love is your instrument
(I love it so I don’t say nothin)
I swear some day I won’t give in
(but right now I don’t say nothin)

No you save my life
Not just once or twice
But won’t you do it again
You save my life
Once or twice

And I don’t wanna be played like a violin
But we’re up late and I’m your Beethoven
And my love is your instrument
I swear some day I won’t give in
