Dusty Cassette

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I found your name in the drawer Under receipts and rain That old blue tape still works When the house goes quiet again I press play and there you are Laughing through the snow Like you never really left Like you never had to go [Pre-Chorus] And my hand shakes once On the worn-out case I know every crack I know every place [Chorus] Play that old song Play it again (Play that old song) Take me back there then Play that old song Till I forget That your shadow Still lives in my chest [Verse 2] The car still smells like pine And that cheap orange gum The backseat hums your chorus When the traffic’s done I wore that winter coat Till the seams gave way You said time would make it soft But it kept your shape [Pre-Chorus] And the room leans in When the first note starts Like a small white light Under broken hearts [Chorus] Play that old song Play it again (Play that old song) Take me back there then Play that old song Till I forget That your shadow Still lives in my chest [Bridge] I tried new lines I tried new days But the hook comes back In the same old way So let it crack Let it bend One more spin And I’m there again [Chorus] Play that old song Play it again (Play that old song) Take me back there then Play that old song Till I forget That your shadow Still lives in my chest [Outro] Play that old song (Play that old song) Play that old song And stay a little longer
