The Cassette's Hum

[Chorus] Empty station, dusty air Half a melon, sweet despair Sun dips low, a hazy gleam Lost inside a summer dream Waiting here for you to find This old tape stuck in my mind [Verse] Ten years old and time crawls slow On this bench, nowhere to go Crimson vines on rusted bars Counting distant, fading stars My bare feet tap a silent beat On the concrete, bittersweet [Pre-Chorus] Hear the trolley's distant chime Passing by, a cruel design Always empty, never stops Just the echo, then it drops [Chorus] Empty station, dusty air Half a melon, sweet despair Sun dips low, a hazy gleam Lost inside a summer dream Waiting here for you to find This old tape stuck in my mind [Verse] Dad's old cassette, worn and thin Plays a melody within Static hiss and crackling sound Familiar tunes, profound Each scratched note, a memory Whispering you'll come back to me [Pre-Chorus] Hear the trolley's distant chime Passing by, a cruel design Always empty, never stops Just the echo, then it drops [Chorus] Empty station, dusty air Half a melon, sweet despair Sun dips low, a hazy gleam Lost inside a summer dream Waiting here for you to find This old tape stuck in my mind [Bridge] The sky bleeds orange, then turns grey Will you come home today? This sticky heat, this waiting game Just your echo, whispering my name [Chorus] Empty station, dusty air Half a melon, sweet despair Sun dips low, a hazy gleam Lost inside a summer dream Waiting here for you to find This old tape stuck in my mind
