Hank Green, The Perfect Strangers - Video Game Books lyrics

We all can dream of blazing glories
But all I dream of now is
You and your blue eyes
It’s strange how we can feel like
We don’t live our own lives
And I wasn’t sure about my own but
Now i’m feelin’ 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 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

There’s not a lot
Of amputee heroes in history

I wish our lives were so much simpler
And I hope you get to have
Your moment in the fight
But no one gets to be quite
Who they want to 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
