Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Radio play my favorite song
Radio, radio
Radio I'm alone
Radio, radio
Please don't go radio
I peer through curtains on empty streets
Behind a wall of caller ID
No one's out there
To hear if I care
About the troubles in the air
As I of the mourning now gone
Pick up where my thoughts left off
'Cause I'm home to die on my own
As my radio plays my favorite song
Radio, radio
Radio, don't you know
Radio, radio
Radio, I'm alone
I've blown the dust off my guitar
In the attic with the stars
I read your letters to feel better
My tears upon the faded ink
As I of the mourning now gone
Pick up where my thoughts left off
'Cause I'm home to die on my own
As my radio plays my favorite song
Radio, radio
Radio, I'm alone
Radio, radio
Radio, please don't go
I sit in the dark light
To wait for the ghost night
To bring the past to life
To make a toast to life
'Cause I have survived
What is it you want?
What is it you want to change?
What is it you want?
What is it you want to change?
What is it you want to change?
Radio, radio, radio, radio

Radio, radio

Please don't go radio
I peer through curtains on empty streets
Behind a wall of caller ID

To hear if I care
About the troubles in the air
As I of the mourning now gone
Pick up where my thoughts left off
'Cause I'm home to die on my own
As my radio plays my favorite song
Radio, radio
Radio, don't you know
Radio, radio
Radio, I'm alone
I've blown the dust off my guitar
In the attic with the stars
I read your letters to feel better
My tears upon the faded ink
As I of the mourning now gone
Pick up where my thoughts left off
