Sound Of Summer

It's a Bit Complicated

Sound Of Summer

All through the night

They begin to take shape

From the crack of the vinyl

To the hiss of the tape


Play and record

Held down together

Tabs pushed off

So you can't tape over it ever


Just a couple of friends

Hanging out with each other

We started to swap tapes

To soundtrack our summer


Tapes that are full

Of the things we can't say

To each other

During the day


All through the night

They begin to take shape

From the crack of the vinyl

To the hiss of the tape


Play and record

Held down together

Tabs pushed off

So you can't tape over it ever


It can't be just me

That's working it out

These songs that we've chosen

And what they're about


Are we after the same thing?

Am I crossing a line?

I'm checking the lyrics

I'm pressing rewind


All through the night

They begin to take shape

From the crack of the vinyl

To the hiss of the tape


These songs won't see the sun

Any time soon

Under the cover of headphones

And for the privacy of bedrooms


All the best pop songs

Are girl meets boy

And there wasn't one song

That I didn't enjoy


But I lacked confidence

When I was young

So things didn't work out

The way they get sung


Play and record

Held down together

Tabs pushed off

So you can't tape over it ever


A couple of friends

Hanging out with each other

Just swapping songs

To soundtrack our summer
