Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I remember voices crackling through the static
Sitting by the speaker, letting my mind travel far
Every song would paint a picture automatic
We didn't need a screen, we had a radio star
Now the pictures flicker, cold and automatic
Feeding us the same thing, dimming every spark
Nobody imagines, everyone's just watching
We lost the kind of magic that used to light the dark
[Chorus]
Radio, oh radio
Won't you sing to me once more
Bring me back the days I used to soar
On nothing but a voice and a melody
Radio, oh radio
We let you fade away too soon
Turn the dial up, play me your tune
Give us back what television stole from me
[Verse 2]
They said you were old news, a dying signal
Traded you in for a flickering, hollow light
But I still hear you in my memory, so gentle
Carrying the words that used to feel so right
The kids today don't know what they were missing
A thousand worlds inside a little wooden box
Every station was a story worth revisiting
Now they're staring, and the silence never stops
[Chorus]
Radio, oh radio
Won't you sing to me once more
Bring me back the days I used to soar
On nothing but a voice and a melody
Radio, oh radio
We let you fade away too soon
Turn the dial up, play me your tune
Give us back what television stole from me
[Bridge]
All those nights beneath the covers
Whispered secrets between old friends and lovers
You were never just a sound machine
You were the dream behind the dream
[Chorus]
Radio, oh radio
Won't you sing to me once more
Bring me back the days I used to soar
On nothing but a voice and a melody
Radio, oh radio
We let you fade away too soon
Turn the dial up, play me your tune
Give us back what television stole from me
