lyrics

Lose Myself in the Radio

I've been gone what seems like a moment
Been listening to audiobooks and news and talk and weather
Now I'm back and I'm listening
For a song to get me out of my head

I wanna lose myself in the radio again
I wanna care what everyone's listening to again
I wanna lose myself in the radio again
I wanna lose myself in the radio again

When I was 8, I first heard Thriller
And MTV had just gone on the air
Combat Rock and Mesopotamia
And everyone was doing the Safety Dance

I wanna lose myself in the radio again
I wanna care what everyone's listening to again
I wanna lose myself in the radio again
I wanna lose myself in the radio again

(Bridge)
When we met my music collection
was curated like a scholar in a museum
Raygun Magazine is no longer my religion

I went away just for a moment
Been listening to indie rock, classical, and americana
Now I'm back and I can’t find
A song to get me out of my head

I wanna lose myself in the radio again
I wanna lose myself in the radio again
I wanna care what everyone's listening to again
I wanna lose myself in the radio again
