Magnetic Echoes

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Eight tracks spinning Red lights blinking in the dark Ghosts in the meters Old air caught in every spark Whispers on the playback Past selves humming out of tune Your voice over mine now Two shadows sharing one room [Chorus] History in magnetic echoes We rewind We rewind again Every little breath you left here Rises like a phantom friend History in magnetic echoes Worn-out ribbon Spinning slow I keep talking to the tape ’Cause it remembers what I don’t [Verse 2] Coffee on the fader Dust dancing in the LED Finger on the slider Trying to soften what you said to me Tiny storms of static Between the words we used to say I punch in a future Over ruins of yesterday [Chorus] History in magnetic echoes We rewind We rewind again Every little breath you left here Rises like a phantom friend History in magnetic echoes Worn-out ribbon Spinning slow I keep talking to the tape ’Cause it remembers what I don’t [Bridge] Did we ever get it right? (oh oh) Or did we just press save and pray Every take a different life Buried in a labeled case [Chorus] History in magnetic echoes We rewind We rewind again Every little breath you left here Rises like a phantom friend History in magnetic echoes Worn-out ribbon Spinning slow I keep talking to the tape ’Cause it remembers what I don’t
