Verse 1 We were sparks in a basement light AM radios burnin’ through the night Posters peeling on the bedroom wall Dreaming loud like we had it all Summer air and a six-string cry Peace signs painted on the sky We didn’t know where the road would bend Just that the song would never end Pre-Chorus Every crackle in the vinyl rain Still echoes through our veins Chorus (Earworm Hook) When the needle finds the groove again We’re forever young like we’ve always been Turn it up — let the speakers spin Hear our hearts kickin’ back then Oh-oh-oh… let the records play Oh-oh-oh… we’re not far away Time rolls on but the truth remains When the needle finds the groove again Verse 2 Bell bottoms and stadium lights First slow dance on a Friday night Headlights humming down Route 9 Chasing something we couldn’t define War on the news, love in the street Marching drums and a backbeat We were fire in a photograph Black and white but it still burns fast Pre-Chorus Every chorus we sang too loud Still rises through the crowd Chorus When the needle finds the groove again We’re forever young like we’ve always been Turn it up — let the speakers spin Hear our hearts kickin’ back then Oh-oh-oh… let the records play Oh-oh-oh… we’re not far away Time rolls on but the truth remains When the needle finds the groove again Bridge (70s Anthem Lift) Maybe the years put silver in our hair Maybe the world don’t feel as fair But close your eyes — you’ll hear it clear That revolution’s still right here It’s in the riff, it’s in the rhyme It’s in every generation’s time Pass it down like a sacred flame Different faces — same refrain Final Chorus (Big, Extended) When the needle finds the groove again We’re forever young like we’ve always been Turn it up — let the speakers spin Let the whole wide world come in Oh-oh-oh… sing it loud and free Oh-oh-oh… just like ’73 Time rolls on but the truth remains When the needle finds the groove again (Repeat hook with gang vocals fade out)
