Ben Varney - Space Jam Lyrics

Found his soul on the VHS
So close, so far, he can see your breath
Misting up the screen, see it on the TV cassette
Hands against the static, like please don't
You leave us yet
So don't go,
I've been so low
Misting up the screen, see it on the TV cassette
Hands against the static, like please don't
You leave us yet

Charlie was a little boy, didn't have that many friends
But he had his older brother, only one that weren't pretend
At school if they would bully him, his brother would defend
Then they'd go home and watch Space Jam, wish them days would never end
But then he got sick, couldn't play with him again
Mad at his mother, cause she said he's on the mend
Still wondered why she lied, like he couldn't comprehend
Cause he could see it in the nurse's eyes, his brother was condemned
At his funeral, his mother tried to hold his hand
Charlie shook it off and cried, cause he couldn't understand
How his brother could betray him and just leave him all alone
Put Space Jam in the TV, the minute that he got home
Found his soul on the VHS So close, so far, he can see your breath

Found his soul on the VHS
So close, so far, he can see your breath
Misting up the screen, see it on the TV cassette
Hands against the static, like please don't
You leave us yet
So don't go,
I've been so low
Misting up the screen, see it on the TV cassette
Hands against the static, like please don't
You leave us yet

So every morning, every evening
He'd put Space Jam in the TV just to see him
He didn't tell his mum, cause how could she believe that
The spirit of his brother's chatting to him like some feedback
Came home from school, did the same as every other
Day he loaded up the VHS to see his brother But Space Jam was playing and the picture
Seemed to stutter
Stressed, he pressed eject, but the spool starts to splutter
Reel pouring on the floor, the TV going fuzzy Memories of playing in the rain getting muddy
He starts to shout and cry, trying to reinsert the tape
But the reel's in a tangle and the plastic starts to break
His mum opens the door like, Charlie you okay?
Tape broken on the floor and Charlie's in a state
She tried to stay strong but her tears keep slipping through
She threw her arms around him and told him that she miss him too
