Radio
Shawn Fisher and the Jukebox Gypsies Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Still lingers in my head
And the words you wrote on loose leaf
Are tattooed in my head.
And it hurts me so bad to sing a song so true
When all of the words
Lead me right back to you.
Do you, feel my tears through your radio, your radio
Do you, hear me scream your name
Through your radio, your radio.
This road seems never-ending
Every microphone's the same
But it helps when the crowd sings along with my pain.
So if you ever feel lonely,
From the one that you lost
Let this song be a message
To let them know how much this hurts.

Line by Line Meaning
The melody you gave me
I still remember the tune you composed for me
Still lingers in my head
It's stuck in my mind
And the words you wrote on loose leaf
Your handwritten lyrics on a scrap piece of paper
Are tattooed in my head
I cannot forget those words
And it hurts me so bad to sing a song so true
Performing this song makes me feel intense pain
When all of the words
Every sentence within the lyrics
Lead me right back to you
Reminds me of you
Do you, feel my tears through your radio, your radio
Do you sense my sorrow through the music
Do you, hear me scream your name
Can you hear me calling out your name
Through your radio, your radio.
Through the airwaves
This road seems never-ending
This journey feels like it will never conclude
Every microphone's the same
Every performance feels identical
But it helps when the crowd sings along with my pain.
However, when the audience shares in my misery, it eases the burden
So if you ever feel lonely,
If you ever feel alone
From the one that you lost
Because you lost someone special
Let this song be a message
May this song act as a messenger
To let them know how much this hurts.
To show them how much it hurts
