lyrics

(instrumental)

My sister has never streamed a song in her life, not once
She has four CDs in a car that is nineteen years old
One of them is mine, the one nobody bought, from 2014
(from 2014)
It has been in that car for eleven years. Scratched. Played.

Eleven countries went to number one with somebody else's voice
(somebody else's)
And one dental nurse in Uppsala has worn out a disc

Karin doesn't stream
(doesn't stream)
So my numbers do not include the only listener I need
Karin doesn't stream
Eleven years, one car, one scratched disc, one person

Spotify would tell you that record has four hundred plays
Spotify does not know about a Volvo on the E4
Every measurement I am judged by misses the actual evidence
(actual evidence)
There is no metric for a scratched CD in a nineteen-year-old car

I offered to send her a new copy. She said no.
She said "this one knows the road."
That's my sister. That's the entire review I need.
(FULL PRODUCTION, WARM)

Karin doesn't stream
(doesn't stream)
So my numbers do not include the only listener I need
Karin doesn't stream
Eleven years, one car, one scratched disc, one person

(one person...)
