Lyrics

I'm swiping left and right in a town I now call home
I'm on the iPad cause its way bigger than my phone
The picture of Bill Murray with the pink haired girl beside
I'd be in Heaven if the pixels never lied
I'd be in Stoke-on-Trent now, dying by your side

Oh who will help me to rewind this Minus Touch?

It was all over before it could ever begin
Sat in a station bar while drowning in pink gin
The picture of Robert Smith with his Chinese panda eyes
"Get in loser: We're going crying in this golf cart - Take a ride"

Oh who will help me to rewind this Minus Touch?

In my bed, T-shirts on
Could you learn how to feel or has it been too long?

Oh who will help me to rewind this Minus Touch?
