[Verse] Stir the pot with a slow sweet hand, Pineapple and collards in the pan. The record skips—just once, just twice, Like a memory I can’t quite erase. [Pre-Chorus] You said you’d come by the back door, But you’re late, and I’m here, still for you— Just me, the steam, and the needle’s hum, Telling stories we’ve already known. [Chorus] Oh, the record skips, but I don’t mind, Love’s a groove that feels just right. Even when it stumbles, I still know the tune— You’re the melody I’ve been waiting for, Even when it skips, I’m yours. [Verse] Sunset pours through the kitchen glass, Your name on the label of this old song. I close my eyes, I hear you near, A laugh in the static, a voice I revere. [Pre-Chorus] The rhythm bends but doesn’t break, Like the way you held me when I was afraid. The crackle’s part of the song we’re in— And I’m not rushing, I’m not even in a hurry. [Chorus] Oh, the record skips, but I don’t mind, Love’s a groove that feels just right. Even when it stumbles, I still know the tune— You’re the melody I’ve been waiting for, Even when it skips, I’m yours. [Bridge] Maybe we’re not perfect, maybe we’re flawed, But the music’s alive, and so are we— One skip, one pause, one held breath, And I still choose you in every way. [Chorus] Oh, the record skips, but I don’t mind, Love’s a groove that feels just right. Even when it stumbles, I still know the tune— You’re the melody I’ve been waiting for, Even when it skips, I’m yours. [Outro] Skip it again, don’t fix it, I’ll keep singing the same old song. You’re the tune I love, You’re the tune I’ve always known— Even when it skips, I’m yours.
