[Intro] Static cradle, ribbon thin and worn Your voice still lingers where the silence was born [Verse 1] Found your handwriting curled on the sleeve, ink bled through like quiet grief "For when the quiet gets too loud" - you wrote, and I believed Side A starts with our crooked duet, that off-key vow we couldn't forget Every warp in the tape pulls the ache anew, and I still hear me loving you Maybe I'm stuck in analog, but at least it feels alive If I press play, I lose you twice - if I don't, I don't survive [Pre-Chorus] Press play and the years unwind slow Threads of us caught in the spools below My heart keeps time, irregular [Chorus] Tape deck heartbeat, stuttering through the dark Rewind to midnight, chasing your glow We burned our clumsy truths onto magnetic fire In this lo-fi ruin, you're still my desire Hold that last note like you're still here with me [Verse 2] Track five skips where we fought that night, laughter cracked into morning light I dubbed over silence to hide the fight, thought I could fix what wasn't right Now the dropout haunts like a held breath, every hiss tells what we left Your perfume clings to the plastic shell - heaven and hell in one small spell If love was just a mixtape trick, I'd flip it, fade it, make it neat But your name lives in the warble, and it keeps my pulse on beat [Pre-Chorus] Wind it forward, but it always rewinds To the version of us that's still kind To the second before the goodbye [Chorus] Tape deck heartbeat, stuttering through the dark Rewind to midnight, chasing your glow We burned our clumsy truths onto magnetic fire In this lo-fi ruin, you're still my empire I press play... and you start again [Bridge] "...hey, don't hang up yet..." "That streetlight promise - summer and bad coffee." "I meant it. I still mean it." Now the ribbon frays, oxide flakes away But every glitch keeps you moving in me I could digitize, make it clean and cold But I'd lose the warmth where our story is told [Final Chorus] Tape deck heartbeat - you louder than the end! Rewind to midnight, my oldest friend We burned everything we couldn't defend In this lo-fi forever, I'll break and I'll mend I'm learning to leave... without letting you end [Outro] Static cradle, your ghost stays warm I'll press play, through every storm
