Cassette Echoes at 3 A.M.

[Intro]
[Verse]
Neon bleeding on the street
Static rhythm in the heat
Three a.m. and I'm alone
Tracing shadows on my own
Cobblestones are slick with blue
Searching for a ghost of you
[Pre-Chorus]
Warped tape hiss in my ears
Drowning out the passing years
Fluorescent light begins to sway
Turning night-time into gray
[Chorus]
Back of that yellow cab
Everything we almost had
Leather seats and velvet rain
Numbing out the subtle pain
Stranger hiding in the dark
Leaving such a heavy mark
[Post-Chorus]
Watching the slow burn
Knowing there is no return
Flicker in the tinted glass
Watching all the spirits pass
[Verse]
Bass is thumping through the brick
City air is feeling thick
Wet leather on my skin
Where do I even begin?
Rose water and cigarette smoke
Words that we never spoke
[Pre-Chorus]
Ghostly figures start to fade
In this neon masquerade
Time is slipping through my hands
Like the shifting desert sands
[Chorus]
Back of that yellow cab
Everything we almost had
Leather seats and velvet rain
Numbing out the subtle pain
Stranger hiding in the dark
Leaving such a heavy mark
[Bridge]
Rhodes keys drifting in the air
Fingers tangled in my hair
Was it real or just a scheme?
Drifting through a fever dream
Sub bass pulling at my chest
Give the memory a rest
[Verse]
Window fogged with heavy breath
Cheating every kind of death
The meter clicked a steady beat
While we shared that lonely seat
Your eyes were green like traffic lights
Guiding me through hollow nights
[Chorus]
Back of that yellow cab
Everything we almost had
Leather seats and velvet rain
Numbing out the subtle pain
Stranger hiding in the dark
Leaving such a heavy mark
[Post-Chorus]
Watching the slow burn
Knowing there is no return
Flicker in the tinted glass
Watching all the spirits pass
[Outro]
