Hank Green - Video Game Books lyrics

rate me

We all can dream of blazing glories

But all I dream of now is you and your blue eyes

It’s strange to think how we can feel like we don’t live our own lives

I wasn’t sure about my own but

Now I’m feeling fine

Your video game books

They might get me funny looks

But staff sergeant Max Mayhem gets me hot

And I’m starting to see

Not just what you want from me

But what you wanna get from what you got

Now what do you think you’re gonna be?

You think you’ll leave some kind of lasting mark

But with infinite tomorrows

I know this isn’t fair

No one gets remembered but right now I just don’t care

Your video game books

They might get me funny looks

But staff sergeant Max Mayhem gets me hot

And I’m starting to see

Not just what you want from me

But what you wanna get from what you got

I wish our lives were so much simpler

And I hope you get to have your moment in the fight

But no one ever gets to be quite who they wanna be

And you wanted to matter

Boy, well, you matter to me

Your video game books

Might get me funny looks

But staff sergeant Max Mayhem gets me hot

And I’m starting to see

Not just what you want from me

But what you wanna get from what you got

There’s not a lot

Of amputee heroes in history

But I’ve got one sitting right in front of me
