On the way to your house
Through a part of town I'd never been
I turn the radio louder and louder
Hearing things like I never

And you tell me why
'Cause it feels like all of the weight of the world
Coming from inside
Inside the cassette deck you gave me

Chorus
1983
I found it playing on the tape machine
Sing your song to me
Sing 'em like you know who I am
Sing 'em like you know who I am

And I wait eagle-eyed
Every day for your mail to arrive
From a city that I'd never seen
To a boy who was almost a teen

And it feels right
'Cause it feels like all of the weight of the world
Left me behind
At the moment that I started hearing

Chorus

Solo
