Crack of the Groove

[Intro] Dusty sleeves whisper, a treasure map in my hands I flip through echoes, where forgotten grooves expand The needle hums a chorus, my heart begins to race A pocket of miracles in this endless vinyl chase [Verse 1] Shelf by shelf, I chase the crackle, the hiss A startled groove leaps out, pure hit-or-miss bliss Cover art smiles like strangers in a neon city I drop the needle, time slides into a new committee [Pre-Chorus] Every crackle tells a story, every pop a daring chance I’m chasing sound on a wild ride, in a vinyl romance [Chorus] We find a secret beat in the crack of the groove A treasure map of rhythm where the past approves Hands in the dust, we rise with the spin We’re alive in the labels, we’re alive within [Verse 2] A scratchy sax sails through the stacks of fate Dust motes dance like confetti at our state We trade smiles with sleeves from decades gone by Connection in the runout groove, you and I [Pre-Chorus] Every turn a doorway, every hiss a guiding light We chase the chorus back to life, into the night [Chorus] We find a secret beat in the crack of the groove A treasure map of rhythm where the past approves Hands in the dust, we rise with the spin We’re alive in the labels, we’re alive within [Bridge] Two sleeves kiss in the sleeve rack’s glow We listen closer, hear histories flow From distant shores to a kitchen jam Every track a passport to who I am [Chorus] We find a secret beat in the crack of the groove A treasure map of rhythm where the past approves Hands in the dust, we rise with the spin We’re alive in the labels, we’re alive within [Outro] So keep the needle steady, let the stories unwind In every hidden gem, a new friend we’ll find The world keeps spinning, but here we belong In the crack of the groove, we sing our lifelong song
