twenty-one Lyrics

I cry on my way home

I cry on my way west

I cry when reasoning with faith and trust

But I could reason all I want

And still lose you in the midst

I could push my luck

And end up stuck with an empty bottle

And the need to rebuild

What I hope to share with you

What if everything I thought was final

Was you playing a broken record

A scratch on the vinyl

I never heard a better song

Than the summer of '21

Say you love me and leave me spinning

It's like I'm hearing it for the first time

Laying on my bedroom floor

Replay it once more

Get it on film take a Polaroid

In a few years you'll find it buried in your drawer

You'll stop to think of me

And all the songs we would sing

And lines we would cross

Next state, there's a pause

In time when your lips would finally meet mine

What if everything I thought was final

Was you playing a broken record

A scratch on the vinyl

I never heard a better song

Than the summer of '21

Say you love me and leave me spinning

It's like I'm hearing it for the first time

Laying on my bedroom floor

Replay it once more

What would I do with our conversations

Our secret revelations

Promise of months of patience

If one day our love became another obligation

You're my daydream

My best friend

My lover

And the radio that plays on

The drive home after meeting in another place

I'd never go unless I'm with you

What if everything I thought was final

Was you playing a broken record

A scratch on the vinyl

I never heard a better song

Than the summer of '21

Say you love me and leave me spinning

It's like I'm hearing it for the first time

Laying on my bedroom floor

Replay it once more

I cry on my way home,

I cry on my way west

Get it on film take a polaroid

What would I do with our conversations

Our secret revelations

Promise of months of patience

Replay it once more
