Shoe Box Full of Tape

Abu Sayed presents the official lyrics for his original song ‘Shoe Box Full of Tape’.

I found that shoe box full of tape hiding in the dark
Every little melody still pulls apart my heart
I rewind the midnight moments when you pulled me near
The static on the stereo is all I want to hear
Dust upon the cardboard cover, memories inside
A million little whispers that we never tried to hide
I play the faded song we captured in the rain
The echo of your laughter is running through my veins
The shadows in the corner start dancing to the sound
A heavy kind of magic is spinning us around
I close my eyes and feel your breath right against my skin
The rhythm is pulling me exactly where we've been
Oh, you are the music in the middle of the night
A soft and steady fire burning out of sight
Every single lyric is tracing down your spine
I memorize the melody that makes you completely mine
(Mine, all mine) I keep rewinding every word you said
(So deep) The echo of your voice is spinning in my head
A tangled mess of ribbon, the secrets that we keep
A million different promises keeping me from sleep
I trace the handwritten label, the ink is fading out
But I still know every single thing this feeling is about
The shadows in the corner start dancing to the sound
A heavy kind of magic is spinning us around
I close my eyes and feel your breath right against my skin
The rhythm is pulling me exactly where we've been
Oh, you are the music in the middle of the night
A soft and steady fire burning out of sight
Every single lyric is tracing down your spine
I memorize the melody that makes you completely mine
(Mine, all mine) I keep rewinding every word you said
(So deep) The echo of your voice is spinning in my head
The quiet of the room is heavy with desire
Every single memory is adding fuel upon the fire
I memorize the way you move across the wooden floor
Even when the song is over, I am craving more
Like a melody that only Sayed could ever write
I will keep the music playing deep into the night
I still have every single tape we ever made
Just waiting for you to come over and press play
Oh, you are the music in the middle of the night
A soft and steady fire burning out of sight
Every single lyric is tracing down your spine
I memorize the melody that makes you completely mine
