VHS Memories

Static in the bedroom light Dust on everything tonight Old cassette inside the player Your voice still livin’ there Streetlights bleeding through the blinds Frozen fragments left behind Every frame a ghost of you Burned in faded blue And I rewind Every little thing we were But the tape gets worn And the picture starts to blur VHS memories Glitching in my sleep Late night television glow Keeping you with me VHS memories Crackling softly If I press play one more time Will you still know me? Headphones tangled on the floor Same old jacket by the door Summer nights on parking roofs Cigarette confessions too Rain against the shopping arcade Tiny hearts we used to paint Now the city feels erased Like somebody changed the tape Tracking lines across your face But I still replay the pain Everybody disappears When the signal fades away VHS memories Broken melodies Neon shadows, worn out hearts Lost inside the screen VHS memories Hold you close to me Even if the tape runs out You still live in me
