lyrics

I heard it on the B side
7 inch 33 rpm
I wore the needle down
trying to catch that feeling again
we were dancing by ourselves
shaking out of every limb
I was on the south side
you were somewhere better than I'd ever been

transistor radio
hidden underneath our coat
I heard the devil come
straight through the radio waves
I was on the other end of a telephone
saying what I could say to make your heart explode

Love I hope you know I'm sorry
for running scared from what I know was a wonderful thing
I am to blame

the California Evergreen
hangin' in a midnight sky
like the stadium lights that shine on a vacant parking lot
oh how we could run these streets
like only youthful hearts could run
sitting court side to a future that we left undone

ones and zeros
making our worlds collide
through my headphones
in a way I cannot describe
I'm just a bag of molecules
save for the heart inside
I'm a sucker for a melody with some soul to hide

Love I hope you know I'm sorry
Love I hope you know I'm sorry
Love I'm sorry for the way I ran away
I am to blame
