The Version That Remains (النسخة 2)

Intro

Tape hiss. Erase head down.

Still here. Still found.

Verse

Spool turns past the mark I made

Old take bleeds through the new one played

Same room, same click, same count of four

I keep the one I recorded before

Pre-Chorus

Tell me which one you kept

Tell me which one got erased

Chorus

The version that remains

The version that remains

I know it's old, I know it's changed

The version that remains

Verse

Reel runs thin where the finger pressed

Hiss underneath is what confessed

I know the take, I know it's not the same

Chorus

The version that remains

The version that remains

I know it's old, I know it's changed

The version that remains

Bridge

Not the first cut

Not the last

Just the one

That didn't get erased

Chorus

The version that remains

The version that remains

I know it's old, I know it's changed

The version that remains

Outro

Still spinning. Still playing.

The version that remains.
