[Verse 1] I found that tape in a shoebox by the stairs Your handwriting crooked, ’91 in blue A dozen little chapters pressed between the reels And every one still sounds like you [Pre-Chorus] The radio missed them, the world moved on But I know every turn, every wrong-way song [Chorus] Flip it over, there’s another side Little lost songs that I keep inside Not the one they played, not the one they knew Every B-side takes me back to you Turn, turn—let the years rewind Every chapter has a song they left behind Flip it over, let the whole thing ride My favorite song’s on the other side [Verse 2] The bus-stop summer, your coat in the rain The first small room with the furnace that clanged That long goodbye we couldn’t get right Each had a tune we kept out of sight [Pre-Chorus] No golden record, no polished refrain Just the sound of us, still warm in the grain [Chorus] Flip it over, there’s another side Little lost songs that I keep inside Not the one they played, not the one they knew Every B-side takes me back to you Turn, turn—let the years rewind Every chapter has a song they left behind Flip it over, let the whole thing ride My favorite song’s on the other side [Bridge] Somewhere between the hiss and the pause A whole life waits without applause I press play on the parts we saved The quiet tracks that made us brave [Final Chorus] Flip it over, there’s another side Little lost songs that I keep inside Not the one they played, not the one they knew Every B-side takes me back to you Turn, turn—let the years rewind Every chapter has a song they left behind Flip it over, let the whole thing ride My favorite song’s on the other side [Outro] One more side, one more try Our best songs never had to fly
