We sat across a microphone for an hour and twelve You told me something honest that I couldn’t tell myself The conversation bent the way that real ones always do And somewhere in the middle I forgot I’m hosting you [Verse 2] The file got uploaded and the numbers trickled in A hundred people listened but the thread got thin Your email bounced, my notes got buried, three months disappeared And now I can’t remember what I promised I’d keep here [Chorus] Don’t let it disappear The thing we built between the questions Don’t let it fade to air Like every conversation no one saved We had a real one — I could feel it We had a moment that was true But the system only kept the audio And lost what really passed between me and you [Verse 3] I scrolled back through a year of shows, a hundred different names And half of them are strangers now — that shouldn’t be the same We shared a mic, we shared a thought, we shared a piece of time And all that’s left is a waveform on a dashboard line [Chorus] Don’t let it disappear The thing we built between the questions Don’t let it fade to air Like every conversation no one saved We had a real one — I could feel it We had a moment that was true But the system only kept the audio And lost what really passed between me and you [Bridge — spoken/whispered over soft piano] Every podcast episode is a relationship that started The question is whether anything holds it after the mic goes off [Outro — soft, fading] Don’t let it disappear Don’t let it disappear The file was saved But the bond was not Don’t let it disappear
