From the recording Refrain
Lyrics
Jay-C’s Broken Radio
By Jeffrey C. Capps
I’m picking up the signal loud and clear
It’s the frequency I fear
I hear it far, I hear it near
I stumbled on a wrinkle in the walk
Like a stranger who stopped to stalk and gawk
And watch the girls when they talk
A stupid refrain
All the same, I’m the same
As I was when you first came
Stole me away
I can hear it on the air, you got a flair for the affair
I saw the girls stare, I know they never stare
Why do I care
Why do I care
The time we’re taking up, should’ve been making up
But we’re breaking up
We’re breaking up
That’s the sound of my broken heartbeat
Incomplete, talking to my feet, stumbling blindly down the street
Can you keep the time
That it takes to make the stakes not so great
Or rely on fate, because we’re loving late
I know you’re gonna fade, you’re gonna fade
And I’ll make my getaway
The time we’re taking up, should’ve been making up
But we’re breaking up
We’re breaking up
To the sound
You sound like a broken radio
When it’s sooner, sooner, sooner then gone
Like the crackle of a sad song
All you hear is the DJ sing along
And my broken heartbeat beat
Broken heartbeat beat
The time we’re taking up, should’ve been making up
But we’re breaking up
We’re breaking up
To the sound
You sound like a broken radio
A broken radio
