lyrics

I thought of you again last night
On the airwaves I was pushing
That song your wrote about us
On the Gretsch in open tuning
Through the radio's blank hum
The song rang out and ended
And the dead air hung like
heavy and inventive

I just sat and wondered why
You packed up and you left me
While the microphone just stared
Pointed at me sadly
I couldn't bring myself to cue
The next song on the playlist
They all reminded me of you
Broken, fucked, and shameless

Through the studio's dank light
I rang out in soliloquy
A poem to befit you
Spoken in a willowed key
And hopeless as it might have been
That just by chance you'd hear me
The most eloquent of praises
Echoed from me deeply

And when I finished, I hit play
On the song you wrote about us
Then I repeated it again
And on in to the darkness
I'd love to hear you sing above
Those chords with harnessed prowess
I could never hear enough of your alto's solemn grayness

And I wait, oh, I wait
And I'm saved
By the airwaves
It falls away from me
Please don't leave,
Annie Tee

If we end up strangers
I hope that you remember
All the songs you wrote for me
Softly crooned and clever
I've been holding on to you
Or at least the vague idea
When I push the faders up
And struggle to speak clear

I thought of you again last night
On the airwaves I was pushing
That song you wrote about us
On the Gretsch in open tuning
