Lyrics Roll the Tape - Adam Tell

I′m sick of living with this cloud inside my head
An echo chamber of the worst things that I've said
One-sided conversations getting me nowhere
I′m wasting time sinking in my chair
(Pulling out my hair)
External stimuli are few and far between
I've extracted all the kicks I can from caffeine
I need someone who's not afraid to call the shots
Someone who can connect the missing dots

First take
Let′s try a new progression no one else could make
It might not come together, babe, but just in case
Let′s run it from the top and roll the tape
Mmm
Later on tonight
When you go on your way and I go on mine
I'll play it back and see if any moments shine
I hope this one grows in time

I′ll keep my head down I've been burned this way before
That sparkle always dies down till it bores me
As time goes by, I keep expecting it to fade
But her name keeps jumping off the page
Noticing subtleties that used to be washed out
Enjoy the silences that used to fill with doubt
I might concede if I′d been properly prepared
But I gotta say, I thought I'd be more scared
(Didn′t think I'd dare)

First take
Let's try a new progression no one else could make
It might not come together, babe, but just in case
(We might as well)
Let′s run it from the top and roll the tape
(Let′s run it from the top and roll)
(Let's run it from the top and roll)
Later on tonight
When you go on your way and I go on mine
I′ll play it back and see if any moments shine
I hope this one grows in time
(I hope this one grows in time)

(Wake up the daydreams)
(Call off the search team)
(I think you're already deep into my bloodstream)

Pin-point the satellite
Re-whet the appetite
Stay up until the sun runs off into the night
Wake up the daydreams
Call off the search team
I think you′re already deep into my bloodstream

First take
Let's try a new progression no one else could make
It might not come together, babe, but just in case
Let′s run it from the top and roll the tape
Later on tonight
When you go on your way and I go on mine
I'll play it back and see if any moments shine
