Shortwave, Part 2 ft. Alan Lastufka

she writes and then erases
names dates and forgotten places
turning the page on
another year, another song

two houses stand apart
under one roof in her heart
rewriting every line
another year, another rhyme

sing it out loud
as if we’re all singing along
rise above the crowd
so we can all hear your song
playing on the radio

recording and hearing
her voice so clearly
ooo, for the first time
even if it doesn’t rhyme

standing up and shouting
no longer hiding, doubting
it came so easy to her then
she couldn’t wait to hear it again
