Lyrics
In the drawer a dusty tape
Letters faded, edges scraped
I played it, and the years rewound:
I’m eighteen again
All the songs I never gave you
All the words I never said
Spinning like ghosts of summer
Playing in my head
Late-night laughs and quiet fights
Songs I wrote on sleepless nights
Chords I strummed but never played
Maybe I was too afraid that day
All the songs I never gave you
All the words I never said
Spinning like ghosts of summer
Playing in my head
If you’d heard it, would you have stayed?
Or would the notes just fade away?
Every beat a memory of what could never be
All the songs I never gave you
All the words I never said
Spinning like ghosts of summer
Playing in my head
I kept the tape, but I moved on
Found my voice when you were gone
Some melodies still pull me back
But now I play them where I’m at
All the songs I never gave you
All the words I never said
Spinning like ghosts of summer
Playing in my head
