lyrics

Forty-five and the record fades
Music wanders and it’s overplayed
And we still go round and round
Same old song with the same old sound
Forty-five and the record fades

Forty-five hear the record spin
It’s all too quiet and the sound is thin
And we still go round and round
Halfway home you don’t turn it down
Forty-five hear the record spin

I wish I knew you when we were young
Roller skates and bubble gum
Play a mix on the tape machine
Rewind time rewind the dream
I wish I knew you when we were young

Forty-five and my body fades
Kids are gone and done with playing
And we still go round and round
Book of life that you can’t put down
Forty-five and my body fades

Labels peeled and the vinyl's cracked
Speed of sound, baby, don’t hold back
Needle clicks like a railroad track
Screaming sound baby don’t hold back

I wish I knew you when we were young
Roller skates and bubble gum
Play a mix on the tape machine
Rewind time rewind the dream
I wish I knew you when we were young

I wish I knew you when we were young
Roller skates and bubble gum
Play a mix on the tape machine
Rewind time rewind the dream
I wish I knew you when we were young

Forty-five and the record fades
