Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] Pavement smells like wet slate Walking home a little late Plastic bags in the breeze Dancing past the cypress trees Empty lots and oily puddles Where the lonely shadow huddles I’m tracing lines upon the curb Waiting for a secret word [Pre-Chorus] Electric hum in the air Static pulling at my hair A buzzing light above the door Like nothing's changed since ninety-four [Chorus] The neon sign says "OPEN" But the glass is broken Trading tapes in the rain Driving down the memory lane Magnetic ribbon on the floor I don't see you anymore No, I don't see you anymore [Post-Chorus] (Warble in the wire) (Ghost in the choir) (Flicker in the blue) (Looking for you) [Verse] VHS boxes on the shelf Talking to my younger self You wrote the titles in blue ink Faster than a heart could blink Hidden tracks and basement noise Just two quiet suburban boys Now the strip mall is a ghost To the things we loved the most [Chorus] The neon sign says "OPEN" But the glass is broken Trading tapes in the rain Driving down the memory lane Magnetic ribbon on the floor I don't see you anymore No, I don't see you anymore [Bridge] The lap steel sings a ghost song Where did all the time go wrong? Warbly synths and tape hiss Is this what I'm bound to miss? A grainy world in G minor Nothing could be any finer Than the way we used to be Before you sailed across the sea [Breakdown] (Muted bass thumping) (Heart starts jumping) (Tape loop spinning) (Nobody's winning) [Verse] The "OPEN" sign keeps flickering Like two old spirits bickering You moved out West to find the sun Before the movie had begun I’m standing by the rental drop Waiting for the rain to stop Just a shadow in the plaza In this concrete extravaganza [Chorus] The neon sign says "OPEN" But the glass is broken Trading tapes in the rain Driving down the memory lane Magnetic ribbon on the floor I don't see you anymore No, I don't see you anymore [Outro]
