Lyrics
Found a tape in the glovebox Handwriting faded blue A mixtape from some summer When the road was new Highway at three in the morning Dashboard glowing green The static between stations Is the quietest song I've seen Press play, let it turn Let the old tape hum Every mile is a memory Rolling home to some Warm and wobbling melody Slow down, take your time Cassette in the glovebox Keep me company tonight Headlights on the guardrail Moths in the amber glow The tape is slightly stretching And I don't mind it slow Press play, let it turn Let the old tape hum Every mile is a memory Rolling home to some Warm and wobbling melody Slow down, take your time Cassette in the glovebox Keep me company tonight Somebody made this for somebody Folded in a careful hand Now it plays for a stranger driving Through the dark and the empty land Through the dark Press play, let it turn Let the old tape hum Every mile is a memory Rolling home to some Warm and wobbling melody Slow down, take your time Cassette in the glovebox Keep me company tonight Keep me company Tonight
