Pacific Parafise - 4. Running Through The Radio

[Intro — male vocal stack] Whoa-oh, running through the radio Ahh-ahh, everywhere I go Whoa-oh, running through the radio I hear you… [Verse 1 — Male lead] Two lanes shining in the summer rain Red lights bleeding on the windowpane I turned the dial just to clear my head Then a song came on and you were there again That little melody we used to know Three chords underneath the stereo I should’ve changed it, should’ve let it die But I drove another mile and turned it high [Pre-Chorus — building male harmonies] Every station Every town I lose the signal You come around And every time I think you’re gone— [Chorus — huge male vocal stack] You’re running through the radio Coming through loud and clear Every song I left behind Keeps bringing you back here Running through the radio Like a voice I can’t outrun I can drive all night toward nowhere But you’re in every song [Post-Chorus — interlocking male vocals] (Whoa-oh) Running through the radio (Can’t let go) Everywhere I go (Whoa-oh) Turn it high, turn it low You’re running through the radio [Verse 2] Sunset burning in the rearview glass Another county line is fading fast A midnight DJ says, “Here’s one for you” And suddenly I’m back in ’82 You on the hood underneath the stars Singing every harmony by heart We thought a song could make the moment stay Maybe that’s why I still play it today [Pre-Chorus] Every highway Every sound I lose the signal You come around And every time the chorus starts— [Chorus] You’re running through the radio Coming through loud and clear Every song I left behind Keeps bringing you back here Running through the radio Like a voice I can’t outrun I can drive all night toward nowhere But you’re in every song [Middle Eight — half-time] Maybe somewhere you’re listening too Maybe some station is playing for you Maybe you stop when you hear that refrain And for three minutes we’re together again [A Cappella — layered male voices] Turn it up Turn it up I can almost hear you Hold that note Don’t let go I can almost feel you Ahh-ahh-ahh… Coming through… [Guitar Solo] [Breakdown — Male lead / harmony responses] Lead: AM, FM, anywhere I roam Harmony: (Anywhere you roam) Lead: Coast to coast, but I can’t get home Harmony: (Can’t get home) Lead: Every frequency leads me back to you All voices: So turn it up! [Final Chorus — key change] You’re running through the radio Coming through loud and clear Every song we ever loved Still sounds like you are here Running through the radio Underneath the setting sun I can drive beyond forever But I’ll never outrun The way you’re running through the radio (Running, running) Everywhere I go (Don’t let go) Somewhere west of forever There’s a song we used to know [Outro — male vocal counterpoint] Running through the radio (Turn it up, turn it up) Running through the radio (Don’t let the signal go) Ahh-ahh Whoa-oh Ahh-ahh… [A cappella tag] I still hear you.
