I'll loop that

If you’re still out there—

just know you’re not erased.

(yeah… / not erased / still there)

You sit with the intrusive thoughts

in the back of my mind.

(back of my mind)

Not loud, not intentional,

just… there all the time.

(all the time)

I’ll be off doing nothing,

getting through the day,

and somehow you’re at the entrance of it,

before I even decide what I feel.

(before I feel / yeah)

I don’t know how to reach you.

(don’t know how)

I don’t know if I should.

(should I?)

I don’t want to make it weird.

(don’t make it weird)

I just want to know where I land.

(where do I land?)

If you’re still out there,

just know you’re not erased.

(not erased / not erased)

You sit with the intrusive thoughts

in the back of my mind.

(in my mind / yeah)

And when I want to reach you,

I just push rewind

(rewind / rewind)

and play back the memories.

(play it back)

I try to reach you through a song

that goes on and on.

(goes on / goes on / yeah)

Like a song that goes on.

(goes on)

Like a song that goes on.

(on and on / don’t stop)

If I can’t say it straight,

I’ll say it sideways.

(sideways)

If I can’t say it once,

I’ll say it over and over.

(over and over)

I don’t know what else to do with it.

I don’t know where else to put you.

So I keep you in the sound,

in the space between play and stop.

(play… stop… play…)

If I can’t reach you through a song,

I’ll loop that song.

(loop that song)

I’ll loop that song.

(loop it)

I’ll loop that song.

(again / again)

If I try to reach you through a song,

I’ll loop that shit.

(loop that shit)

I’ll loop that.

(loop that)

I’ll loop.

(loop)

Rewind.

(rewind)

Rewind.

(rewind)

Play that shit back to the tape.

(play it back / yeah)

Unless I rip that song off—

rip that shit, rip that shit.

(rip it / rip it)

Put the tape in the deck,

press rewind,

play it again.

(again / again)

I don’t even know what I’m chasing anymore.

I just know I’m still pressing play

like maybe this time

it reaches you.

(this time / yeah)

If you’re still out there,

just know you’re not erased.

(not erased)

You sit with the intrusive thoughts

in the back of my mind.

(back of my mind)

I want to reach you

without making it weird.

(don’t make it weird)

I want to reach you

through a song that goes on.

(goes on / goes on)

I’ll loop the tape.

(loop the tape)

I’ll loop that shit.

(loop that shit)

I’ll loop it.

(loop it)

If I can’t reach you through a song,

I’ll loop that song.

(loop that song)

I’ll loop that song.

(again)

I’ll loop that song.

(fade… rewind…)
