Lyrics
Found a tape in the drawer with my name in pen Sharpie on the label, summer of ten Pressed play, it hissed, then the drums came through Fifteen-year-old me with a dream or two Rapping in the closet with a broken mic Homework on the bed, but the beat felt right Every bar was crooked, every rhyme was loud Now I hear a kid that was proud, proud Click, click, tape goes round Hear that old and hungry sound Rewind, rewind, press play again Cassette in the dash, we're coming back to then Rewind, rewind, turn it up loud Every little dream is gonna make us proud Press play, press play, hands in the air Mixtape glow, we don't care Skye on the hook with a voice like sun We cut the first one when the day was done Trading verses on the stairs outside Dubbing every copy for the whole block ride Gave one to the barber, gave one to my mom Gave one to a girl who said it was the bomb Now the speakers shake and the lights go bright But I still miss the hiss of that first night Click, click, tape goes round Hear that old and hungry sound Rewind, rewind, press play again Cassette in the dash, we're coming back to then Rewind, rewind, turn it up loud Every little dream is gonna make us proud Press play, press play, hands in the air Mixtape glow, we don't care Side A, side B, flip it over Side A, side B, never older Everybody sing it, one more time The tape never ends if the heart stays rhyme So if you got a tape in a shoebox deep Dust it off and let the memory speak Whatever you were, you still are now A kid with a beat and a big old vow Hit the button, let it roll Every crack and hiss is gold Run it back for the ones we know Press play, let the good times flow Rewind, rewind, press play again Cassette in the dash, we're coming back to then Rewind, rewind, turn it up loud Every little dream is gonna make us proud Press play, press play, hands in the air Mixtape glow, we don't care Press play again Press play again
