Sam Goody Dusk

[Intro]
[Verse]
At the shuttered record store
No one walks here anymore
Faded signs of neon red
Spinning slowly in my head
Escalators go nowhere
Cool air blowing through my hair
[Pre-Chorus]
Paging through the empty hall
Shadows stretch against the wall
Summer days just slip away
Nothing left for us to say
[Chorus]
Back to school and buying shoes
Paying all our teenage dues
You were there and then you crossed
Now the dial tone is lost
In the mall at half past five
Just to feel a bit alive
[Post-Chorus]
Washed in blue
Me and you
Fading out of view
Tape hiss through
[Break]
[Verse]
Food court lights are turning off
Faintly hear a distant cough
Binder clips and gel pens
We were more than simply friends
Now you live so far away
In a town of dusty gray
[Pre-Chorus]
Paging through the empty hall
Shadows stretch against the wall
Summer days just slip away
Nothing left for us to say
[Chorus]
Back to school and buying shoes
Paying all our teenage dues
You were there and then you crossed
Now the dial tone is lost
In the mall at half past five
Just to feel a bit alive
[Bridge]
Slow it down, the tape will drift
Feel the heavy memory shift
Autumn clothes we never bought
Trapped inside a lonely thought
On a bench I close my eyes
Underneath the plastic skies
[Chorus]
Back to school and buying shoes
Paying all our teenage dues
You were there and then you crossed
Now the dial tone is lost
In the mall at half past five
Just to feel a bit alive
[Outro]
