Dust Off the Sleeve
Style: Synth ballad

[Verse 1]
I pull the record from the shelf
Dust rising soft into the light
The needle hums before it drops
And I think only of yourself

[Pre-chorus]
Some songs you play just once or twice
This one I've played a thousand times
And still it pulls me back to you

[Chorus]
Geoff, you're the sound I know by heart
No need to skip, no need to start
However far this song has gone
You've always been the better part

[Verse 2]
The paper sleeve is soft and worn
Like something held too long to fade
I trace the edge and think of you
And how you've never once been said

[Pre-chorus]
Some songs you play just once or twice
This one I've played a thousand times
And still it pulls me back to you

[Chorus]
Geoff, you're the sound I know by heart
No need to skip, no need to start
However far this song has gone
You've always been the better part

[Bridge]
Every scratch still finds its groove
Every silence waits for you
Nothing here has come undone

[Chorus]
Geoff, you're the sound I know by heart
No need to skip, no need to start
However far this song has gone
You've always been the better part

[Outro]
The dust will settle where it fell
And I'll still choose you, Geoff, as well
