Pressing Play On You

Pressing Play On You

Original song lyrics by Tarah Walsh

Heartbreak / break-up lyrics over a bright, bubblegum pop beat. 

[Intro - pop instrumentals, vocal humming]

[Verse 1]

Lost you once
Think about you still
The shadows
Of my longing
A certain kind of thrill
Keep you close
Even though you’re
Gone 

[Chorus]

So I’m

Pressing play on you (pressing play, pressing play)
Oooohhoooohhhh
That’s the only thing
To do
When I miss youuuu (miss you, miss you)

[Chorus - vocal riffing]

Do do do dit do doOOOoooo
mmmmhhhhmmmhhmmm

[Verse 2]

Hear your voice
Sing the story of our song
Your volume’s fading
My disc is skipping
I need the sound of us
Turned loud 
In my mind

[Chorus]

So I’m

Pressing play on you (pressing play, pressing play)
Oooohhoooohhhh
That’s the only thing
To do
When I miss youuuu (miss you, miss you)

[Chorus - vocal riffing]

Do do do dit do doOOOoooo
mmmmhhhhmmmhhmmm

[Verse 3]

See your face
Blurring on TV
Static softens
The outline of us
on repeat
I still can’t find 
the words to make you stay

[Chorus]

So I’m 

Pressing play on you (pressing play, pressing play)
Oooohhoooohhhh
That’s the only thing
To do
When I miss youuuu (miss you, miss you)

[Chorus - vocal riffing]

Do do do dit do doOOOoooo
mmmmhhhhmmmhhmmm

[Bridge]

Fast forward 
Past regrets 
Make this movie
Pause on you


Why can’t you
Love me (love me) tooooo?

[Bridge-Chrous]

Pressing play on you (pressing play, pressing play)
Oooohhoooohhhh
Even though I know we’re through

It’s the only thing to do
When I miss youuuu (miss you, miss you)

[Chorus - vocal riffing]

Do do do dit do doOOOoooo
mmmmhhhhmmmhhmmm
 
Pressing play on youuuuuu (pressing play, pressing play, on you)

[vocal riffing]

Do do do dit do doOOOoooo
mmmmhhhhmmmhhmmm
OOOooooOOOOOO
