🚬 "Road Sweeper Love Song" – the tragic indie anthem you didn’t know you shared with your last cigarette.

Ever loved someone like you love your last smoke? With full devotion… and complete disregard for your own well-being? Welcome to “Road Sweeper,” a jangly breakup ballad where the ghost of romance smells faintly of tobacco, cheap perfume, and existential regret.

🎸 This is the story of a cigarette with a god complex.
🧹 And a lover with a lighter and no conscience.
🪦 And you, standing alone outside the post office, whispering “was it real?” to a pile of ash.

💔 Perfect for:
– Crying ironically on park benches
– That “cool” heartbreak where you wear sunglasses indoors
– Writing bad poetry in Notes app while your tea goes cold

🎧 What you'll hear:
– Guitars jangling like nervous hands on a matchbox
– Basslines that sound like disappointment in slow motion
– A chorus that makes ghosts dance on traffic islands

🗑️ Love sets you on fire. But who comes to sweep you up?

Lyrics:

🔥 Burn me. Love me. Leave me by the curb.
🚛 “Now I wait for the road sweeper…”
Walking down to the post office,
Found you lying there, little ghost of smoke.
Once a king in a velvet box,
Now just ashes and old hope.
You were long and proud, oh beautiful and loud,
Orange crown, white robe, ready for the crowd.
Oh they loved you for a moment, loved you 'til you burned,
Then you crashed down cold — no lessons learned.

And when you take me out — wouwou —
And set me on fire — you did it.
Tasted my soul — wouwou —
Then crushed my desire — you did it.
Loved me when I burned — wouwou —
But left me in the mire — you did it.
Now I wait for the road sweeper,
Now I wait for the road sweeper...

Was it fun for you, little flame of mine?
Was it bliss for me, or just passing time?
I wonder if the fire felt like love,
Or just the sentence from above.
Last kiss, last pull, last bit of my pride,
And down on the concrete, no more places to hide.
A porch above, but no real grace,
Just a cold, dirty resting place.

Burn me, love me, leave me behind,
Lost and lonely, nobody's find.
Set me on fire, but never look back,
Toss me away when I fade to black.
Burn me, love me, leave me alone,
Crushed and broken, cold as stone.

And when you take me out — wouwou —
And set me on fire — you did it.
Tasted my soul — wouwou —
Then crushed my desire — you did it.
Loved me when I burned — wouwou —
But left me in the mire — you did it.
Now I wait for the road sweeper,
Now I wait for the road sweeper...

Maybe once, I lit your world,
Maybe once, I made you twirl,
But now I’m dust under your heel,
Just a memory you won't feel...

And when you take me out — wouwou —
And set me on fire — you did it.
Tasted my soul — wouwou —
Then crushed my desire — you did it.
Loved me when I burned — wouwou —
But left me in the mire — you did it.
Now I wait for the road sweeper,
Now I wait for the road sweeper...
Now I wait, now I wait... yeah,
For the road sweeper...

Set Me on Fire (Indie Rock Version)

Lyrics:
I waited all night for your name to appear,
Blue ticks blinking, but you’re not here.
Wrote a message, erased it twice,
Still checking your last seen like dice.

I built a castle of could-be’s and dreams,
Now I sit in silence, tearing at the seams.
Your words were sugar, now they rot,
I gave it all — and you forgot.

(Chorus)
After the text, what’s left of me?
A blank screen, anxiety.
I fell in love with a digital ghost,
Who haunts my mind and hurts the most.
After the text, I break again,
Typing “I miss you” — but pressing send is pain.
You left no goodbye, just pixels and air,
After the text... do you even care?

You said you hate games, but you played mine well,
Vanished so fast, left me in hell.
Your silence hits louder than a fight,
And I still scroll back every night.

My friends all say to let it go,
But they don’t know how deep it goes.
You weren’t just chats and late-night calls —
You were my world, now it's gone and small.

(Chorus)
After the text, what’s left of me?
A blank screen, anxiety.
I fell in love with a digital ghost,
Who haunts my mind and hurts the most.
After the text, I break again,
Typing “I miss you” — but pressing send is pain.
You left no goodbye, just pixels and air,
After the text... do you even care?

(Bridge)
I reread your words like ancient spells,
Searching for meaning where nothing dwells.
You typed “forever” like it was light,
But faded away before sunrise night.

(Final Chorus)
After the text, I’ve lost my fight,
Chasing shadows in the glow of night.
I loved a signal, a fading glow,
A name that once made my heartbeat grow.
After the text... there’s only me,
A heart unplugged, set halfway free.
