Cassette Air

Verse 1  
I found the tape beneath your bed  
The label smudged the ribbon dead  
But still it played your laugh too loud  
And pulled me through the quiet crowd  

Chorus  
Cassette air in static light  
I pressed rewind to feel you right  
You hummed a song from long ago  
But left before the chorus flowed  

Verse 2  
The hiss was sharp the tempo torn  
But everything still felt newborn  
Your voice too flat your key too wide  
But real enough to make me hide  

Chorus  
Cassette air in static light  
I pressed rewind to feel you right  
You hummed a song from long ago  
But left before the chorus flowed  

Bridge  
I’ll never tape it over  
Not now not ever sober  

Outro  
Your echo spins me every night  
Like plastic ghosts in neon light
