Not Your Playlist

Your song lyrics

Not Your Playlist

[Verse]
The dust has settled on the stereo
Since you packed your bags and had to go
Your heavy vinyl sits against the wall
I couldn't bear to touch the needle at all
For months your favorite bands were kept on ice
I let your ghost dictate my playlist twice
Today the morning sun cuts through the blind
I leave your quiet shadows far behind

[Chorus]
I’m turning up the dial, I'm taking my music back
Tracing every melody down a familiar track
Every chord that you claimed is finally breathing free
No longer tied to your memory, it's just the sound and me
Yeah, the song is mine again

[Verse]
I drop the needle down, the speakers hum
A steady bassline hits, a gentle drum
This was the record that we used to share
Now there's a different kind of magic in the air
The layered keys dissolve the winter cold
A brand-new story in the notes retold
I thought the melody would bring you near
Instead it's just the music that I hear

[Chorus]
I’m turning up the dial, I'm taking my music back
Tracing every melody down a familiar track
Every chord that you claimed is finally breathing free
No longer tied to your memory, it's just the sound and me
Yeah, the song is mine again

[Bridge]
It’s funny how a song can change its hue
When it stops belonging to a ghost like you
The guitars rise, the rhythm starts to clear
The loudest voice in here is mine this year

[Chorus]
I’m turning up the dial, I'm taking my music back
Tracing every melody down a familiar track
Every chord that you claimed is finally breathing free
No longer tied to your memory, it's just the sound and me
Yeah, the song is mine again
