[Intro] (Over and over) (Over and over) [Verse 1] The magnetic strip unspools Paper crowns and party rules My ninth year fades beneath the dust A stranger's voice cuts through the rust He reads the weather with disdain A cold transmission in the rain [Chorus] I press record to answer back (I answer back) I lay my voice upon the track The distance shrinks along the line Your lost signal pressing mine Are you listening now Are you listening now [Verse 2] I speak into the oxide grey Wash my younger self away The childhood song begins to blur Replaced by words that never were We meet inside the plastic reel The only contact left to feel [Chorus] I press record to answer back (I answer back) I lay my voice upon the track The distance shrinks along the line Your lost signal pressing mine Are you listening now Are you listening now [Bridge] Rewind and reverse The blessing and the curse Two voices on a single thread One living and one dead (On a single thread) (Press record) [Chorus] I press record to answer back (I answer back) I lay my voice upon the track The distance shrinks along the line Your lost signal pressing mine Are you listening now Are you listening now [Outro] Along the line (Press record) Signal pressing mine (Press record) Are you listening Are you listening now (Over and over) (Over and over)
