Better on a Boombox

[Verse] Your favorite album's just for me I play it when I'm feeling free And when I'm feeling trapped [Pre-Chorus] I got you a Walkman Just to make it even And I'll make a mixtape And you'll think it's brilliant [Chorus] 'Cause music's always better on a boom box We can listen in the boondocks Where the jukeboxes don't exist Where the hi-fi systems can't compare to this And if we don't have a boom box Then you know what? It don't matter 'cause the music's always better When it's coming from the one you love [Verse 2] We'll listen to it all night long And when we finish every song We'll just rewind it back [Pre-Chorus] And I'll make a mixtape Just to make it even And you'll think it's brilliant 'Cause I got you a Walkman [Chorus] 'Cause music's always better on a boom box We can listen in the boondocks Where the jukeboxes don't exist Where the hi-fi systems can't compare to this And if we don't have a boom box Then you know what? It don't matter 'cause the music's always better When it's coming from the one you love [Verse 3] We’ll trace the clicks between the tracks Laugh at all the little cracks Like ghosts inside the sound And every chorus brings us back To every moment we unpack When no one else is around [Pre-Chorus] Static in the speakers But it never mattered Every note is sweeter When it’s slightly shattered [Chorus] 'Cause music's always better on a boom box We can listen in the boondocks Where the jukeboxes don't exist Where the hi-fi systems can't compare to this And if we don't have a boom box Then you know what? It don't matter 'cause the music's always better When it's coming from the one you love [Bridge] No streaming, no delay No need to skip or play Just let the whole side ride Stay with me, don’t fade away We don’t need perfect sound Just you and me around Turning it up too loud Till the whole world drowns out [Breakdown] If the batteries run dry We’ll still hum every line Every verse we know by heart Never really falls apart [Final Chorus] 'Cause music's always better on a boom box Under stars out where the moon drops Where the silence disappears And every melody is crystal clear And if the signal ever stops We’ll just sing on top 'Cause the music’s always better Yeah, it’s always better When it's coming from the one you love [Outro] So press rewind and stay a while Let it spin another mile Every song’s a place we’ve been And we can play it all again
