Boombox

I'm here out in the dark

Throwing shooting stars for you

I'm trying to get your attention

But nothing's ever bright enough to reach you

I'm underneath the street light by your window

If you never see me, am I invisible?

I'm here on your front lawn

Playing love songs on repeat

Your curtains stay drawn

Don't you want to sing along with me?

I'm turning up the boombox, hoping you'll hear

If you never notice me, will I disappear?

The neighbors are complaining it's too loud

Why do you shut it out?

I'm right here, you should know

The tapes are tangled and the speaker's almost blown

And I could stay but it's too cold

I'm running out of stones to throw

So let me in or let me go

You used to come out when we played

“Everlasting Love” on the sound waves

And hearts do go astray (Hearts do go astray)

But don't leave it too late

I'm turning up the boombox, hoping you'll hear

If you never notice me, will I disappear?

I hope it hits like a kick drum back-beat

If you ever lose me

'Cause I'm right here, you should know

The tapes are tangled and the speaker's almost blown

And I could stay but it's too cold

I'm running out of stones to throw

So let me in

Let me in or let me go

It's a battery light

And it's not so bright

But it's a neon sign to me

And I know that it won't be long

‘Til the power's gone

So open up your eyes and finally see

I'm right here, you should know

The tapes are tangled and the speaker's almost blown

And I could stay but it's too cold

I'm running out of stones to throw

So let me in or let me go

Let me in

Let me in or let me go
