Cassette Love Overdrive

[Verse 1] Strobe on your face and the room starts to fade, Your lipstick shining on a cherry-red straw, DJ is dropping every song that we played Back when we thought we could outlaw the law. I feel your jacket brushing over my arm, You say my name like it’s a secret code, We’re trading glances like a silent alarm, Losing the ground but I don’t want control. [Pre-Chorus] You move closer, time is stuck on two fifteen, Plastic cups shaking in our hands between, Every word you whisper cuts right through the noise, You’re my favorite memory and my future choice. [Chorus] [laut] Call my name — (I’ll come running) Say you care — (I’ll believe) Take my hand — (don’t let go now) Baby, I won’t leave. Turn it up — (feel it rising) Let it crash into your heart, Say you want this, say you want this, Say you want this heart. [Post-Chorus] Let the night take over, over, over, Till we’re drowning in the dark, Say you want this, say you want this, Say you want this heart. [Verse 2] Your hair is sticking to your forehead with heat, You laugh and steal another sip from my drink, We find a corner where the walls and the beat Trap us so tight we barely manage to think. I see reflections of the first time we danced, You had my number written black on your hand, We used to kiss behind the buses that passed, Two teenage rebels with no master plan. [Pre-Chorus] Now we’re older but we’re falling just the same, Every little habit, I still say your name, You lean in and everything just disappears, Like the tape on replay from those golden years. [Chorus] [laut] Call my name — (I’ll come running) Say you care — (I’ll believe) Take my hand — (don’t let go now) Baby, I won’t leave. Turn it up — (feel it rising) Let it crash into your heart, Say you want this, say you want this, Say you want this heart. [Post-Chorus] Let the night take over, over, over, Till we’re tangled, skin and breath, Say you want this, say you want this, Say you want this, nothing less. [Breakdown] [leise] Talk to me, talk to me, right in my ear, Tell me the things that I need to hear, No one exists but you in this place, History written in the lines of your face. [Bridge] [flüsternd → laut] If this is wrong, I don’t wanna get it right, We’ve been waiting half our lives for this night, All those letters in a box on your floor, Every late call from a grocery store, Every “maybe” that we swallowed back then, Spins around us as the track starts again, So if you feel it like I feel it inside, Say the word and I’ll be yours for life. [Chorus] [laut] Call my name — (I’ll come running) Say you care — (I’ll believe) Take my hand — (don’t let go now) Baby, I won’t leave. Turn it up — (feel it rising) Let it crash into your heart, Say you want this, say you want this, Say you want this heart. [Call & Response Tag] When I say “love you” — you say “always” (Love you) — always (Love you) — always When I say “need you” — you say “all ways” (Need you) — all ways (Need you) — all ways [Final Chorus] [laut] Call my name — (I’ll come running) Say you care — (I’ll believe) Take my hand — (don’t let go now) Baby, I won’t leave. Turn it up — (feel it rising) Let it crash into your heart, Say you want this, say you want this, Say you want this heart. [Outro] [leise] Let the night take over, over, over, Till the daylight breaks us apart, When the music’s over, over, over, I’ll still carry you in my heart.
