Lyrics
(vocoder)
Press record on the night before it's gone
Some things are made to play on and on
If I can't keep you I will keep the tape
Every laugh and every red light wait
Wind it back to golden hour glow
Run it slow, let the warm hiss show
You'll be moving, you'll be somewhere new
But I'll have a reel that's only you
And I'll keep it, oh
Not to hide, to hold
A whole night I get to own, I know
Tape memory, play it soft
Every mile we drove the city off
You can leave at dawn, that's alright
'Cause I'll keep it to myself, keep it to myself
A little warmth I press to play tonight
Yeah I'll keep it to myself, keep it to myself
Pause and play, the way I always do
Living in a second-hand of you
Maybe that's enough, maybe it's not
But it's more than all the things I forgot
The analog of us will never fade
Some loves are sweeter once they're saved
And I'll keep it, oh
Not to hide, to hold
A whole night I get to own, I know
Tape memory, play it soft
Every mile we drove the city off
You can leave at dawn, that's alright
'Cause I'll keep it to myself, keep it to myself
A little warmth I press to play tonight
Yeah I'll keep it to myself, keep it to myself
(vocoder)
And when the years run gray and slow
I'll find this hour, let it glow
You won't know you're still in here
Singing soft across the years
Press record on the night before it's gone
Some things are made to play on and on
