Sunlight creepin’ through the blinds,
A cup of coffee, clear my mind,
A list a mile long—bunch of shit to do,
Wondering gaze is through
Tear the tape, lift the lid,
Vinyl sleeves from a time I did
Drop the needle, let the music play,
Nostalgic hue drips on the day
Summer nights and faded jeans,
The world was wide and life was mine to chase.
And every note takes me back in time,
To reckless days and reckless nights
I lose myself in every rhyme.
turn the music loud,
Spin the past ‘til the sun goes down,
Old records play, yeah, they set me free,
Like echoes of the man I used to be.
But the life I’ve built, the love I’ve found,
I wouldn’t trade for those lost sounds,
I’m right where I belong—
I’m right where I belong
Next one playin’ hits the soul,
My turn to dance, lets rock ‘n’ roll,
Playing like a heartbreak, movin’ towns,
Hit the lights and burned out loud,
Tryna find some meaning in the fight.
That one song plays, and I’m on my knees,
Back in church cause my souls still green
Feelin’ whole beneath the midnight sky.
Now I’m here, just a man,
With calloused hands and bigger plans,
But the music makes the years unwind.
And every note takes me back in time,
To restless hearts and endless nights,
I lose myself in every line.
turn it up, play the music loud,
Spin the past ‘til the sun goes down,
Old records play, yeah, they set me free,
Like echoes of the man I used to be.
But the life I’ve built, the love I’ve found,
I wouldn’t trade for those lost sounds,
I’m right where I belong—
I’m right where I belong-
Front door swings, kids rush in,
Laughter echoes off the walls again,
She kisses me with a knowing smile,
The music fades, but I’m alive,
Grateful for these simple times—
A life well-loved, a love worthwhile.
So I pack those memories back away,
The dust can wait for another day,
These moments here, they’re what matters now
The songs can sing of who I was,
But they can’t touch the man I’ve become,
With every heartbeat, I hold them close.
And every note took me back in time,
But nothing beats these years gone by,
The sweetest song is this life of mine.
turn the music loud,
Spin the past ‘til the sun goes down,
Old records play, yeah, they set me free,
Like echoes of the man I used to be.
But the life I’ve built, the love I’ve found,
I wouldn’t trade for those lost sounds,
I’m right where I belong—
I’m right where I belong-
Yeah, I’m right where I belong—
