Track Insight / Lyrics
You sit in a cracked vinyl seat
While the coffee tastes like old defeat
A plastic menu stained with grease
Waiting for the midnight rush to cease
The clock on the wall is stuck on three
You look like a ghost who wants to be free
Just a flash in the lens of my eye
Underneath a charcoal colored sky
Spin the magnetic tape in your head
Read every single word that we said
Rewind the static, pull on the line
Hold on to the moment, make it align
Your knuckles are white on a cold cup
You wait for the morning sun to wake up
The sugar shaker spills on the floor
You keep staring at the swinging door
The clock on the wall is stuck on three
You look like a ghost who wants to be free
Just a flash in the lens of my eye
Underneath a charcoal colored sky
Spin the magnetic tape in your head
Read every single word that we said
Rewind the static, pull on the line
Hold on to the moment, make it align
I capture the blur of your tired face
A snapshot of this hollowed out place
The headlights are cutting through the gray
Hurry up before we throw it away
Tangle the ribbon, knot up the spool
Break every single high school rule
Run to the station, jump on the bus
Nobody knows what happened to us
Spin the magnetic tape in your head
Read every single word that we said
Rewind the static, pull on the line
Hold on to the moment, make it align
The waitress is humming a low tune
While the diner reflects a paper moon
You leave a nickel and walk out the door
I don't think I can take any more
Spin the magnetic tape in your head
Read every single word that we said
Rewind the static, pull on the line
Hold on to the moment, make it align
Press stop on the reel
Feel how the metals feel
Just a snapshot in time
Just a snapshot in time
