Lyrics

(Verse 1)
Neon moon hangin’ low on Beale Street tonight
Old jukebox cryin’ in a tired red light
Every melody stumbles, every love I’ve met
Sounds like a cover band playin’ what I can’t forget

(Verse 2)
Your laugh was a rhythm I didn’t learn in school
Soft like a slow dance, dangerous and cool
I tried other harmonies, tried changin’ the key
But my heart keeps resolvin’ right back to you and me

(Pre-Chorus)
I wore silence like a shelter
But your echo found its way

(Chorus)
You were the song I couldn’t forget
The one my soul still knows by heart
Every love since you left me
Just been missin’ your part
Time keeps spinnin’, but I’m still set
On a melody I can’t reset
Yeah, you were the song
The song I couldn’t forget

(Verse 3)
We wrote our names in smoke and borrowed time
Every kiss a promise, every fight a rhyme
I walked away thinkin’ I’d be just fine
But your voice stayed pressin’ on my mind

(Pre-Chorus)
Every road I wander
Still hums your name

(Chorus)
You were the song I couldn’t forget
The one my soul still knows by heart
Every love since you left me
Just been missin’ your part
Time keeps spinnin’, but I’m still set
On a melody I can’t reset
Yeah, you were the song
The song I couldn’t forget

(Bridge)
If love’s a record, you’re the groove worn deep
Needle drops and finds you every time I sleep
I’ve tried new verses, tried singin’ alone
But the truest lines were the ones we owned

(Breakdown)
So let it play… don’t fade it out
Some loves were meant to linger loud

(Final Chorus)
You were the song I couldn’t forget
The truth I never learned to lose
If I had one last breath to sing
It’d still be you I choose
Hearts may break, but mine admits
It never moved past where you sit
Yeah, you were the song
The song I couldn’t forget

(Outro)
Still playin’, baby…
Long after the record’s done
