Chasing Every Last Riff

Verse

Old cassette tape hiss on my dashboard light

Last good record skip but the hook stays right

Picking out a solo I never got to play

Pre-Chorus

So tell me now why do I keep this around?

Is it just for nostalgia or is it still a sound?

Chorus

I'm chasing every last riff that I left behind

Playing the chords until they're mine again tonight

Every lost take's gold dust in my mind

I'm chasing every last riff till the lights come back online

Verse

Stacks of CDs I never let go

Sleeves cracked soft from fingers, not frost

Somebody taped a cover note to one

Keep this alive before it's gone' - that was done

Pre-Chorus

So tell me now why do I keep this around?

Is it just for nostalgia or is it still a sound?

Chorus

I'm chasing every last riff that I left behind

Playing the chords until they're mine again tonight

Every lost take's gold dust in my mind

I'm chasing every last riff till the lights come back online

Bridge

Maybe the silence was never the plan

Maybe unfinished is just a way to hold your hand through a band

Not every note needs closure, that's the trade

This one still hums warm if I don't let it fade

Chorus

I'm chasing every last riff that I left behind

Playing the chords until they're mine again tonight

Every lost take's gold dust in my mind

I'm chasing every last riff till the lights come back online
