Radio - Band (Radio Song 3 Demo) Lyrics

The world is collapsing
Around our ears
I turned up the radio
But I can't hear it

When I got to the house and I called you out
I could tell that you had been crying
It's that same sing-song on the radio
Makes me sad

I meant to turn it off to say goodbye
To leave in quiet
Radio song
Hey, hey, hey

I've everything to show, I've everything to hide
Look into my eyes
Listen here

Hey, hey, hey

36 years in a three minute song
Tried to start sing along
I got the beat but I got it wrong
And I haven't got too long
Down that radio song
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey

World is collapsing
Around our ears
I turned up the radio
But I can't hear it

Hey, hey, hey

All these things we've talked about
I've got too much to dance about
And I haven't got too long
I tried to sing along
But damn that radio song

Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey

I've everything to show, I've everything to hide
Look into my eyes
Listen to the radio
I turned up the radio
But I can't hear it
No, I can't hear it
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
