lyrics

Pacing underneath the porchlight
Hoping for a better spring
It's warmer than it was last year
We'll wait and see what June will bring.

The ghosts are in the backyard
Playing hide and seek again
I'm plucking petals off the sunset
Until nightfall comes to free my head.

And all I want is to bang my drum
And go outside and play
How's it feel to be the scum
That you pretend to hate?

But it's not that important
Think of something new to say
It's not that important
We're all imaginary stars today.

But no one ever feels that good
And no one's felt this low
You can live a decent life
When you just stay at home
You can sleep in Saturdays
And brace for Monday's wrath
Burn your eyes on TV screens
Or perfect your daytime act.

But it's not that important
Think of something new to say
We're not that important
We're all imaginary stars today
We're all imaginary stars today.
