He was a small boy, lived on the outside of the world you know
Stared at a ceiling, hollow of feeling, no real place to go
People would speak to him, words that were missing, made him feel apart
So his father bought him a metal companion, a voice that spoke afar
(Chorus)
So why did you go? You made it clear, you had no fear
You're the boy in the radio
So why did you go? We fought these tears, we waited years
For the boy in the radio, the boy in the radio
Ever so slowly, it spoke to his soul and he started to feel alive
Out of the static and into the attic, came feeling from the wires
And turning the dial, he wished for a while that he could be there too
A valve or resistor he could call sister, a friend he could hold on to
(Chorus)
No more tears, living fears
No more tears now
Stared at a ceiling, hollow of feeling, no real place to go
People would speak to him, words that were missing, made him feel apart
So his father bought him a metal companion, a voice that spoke afar
(Chorus)
So why did you go? You made it clear, you had no fear
You're the boy in the radio
So why did you go? We fought these tears, we waited years
For the boy in the radio, the boy in the radio
Ever so slowly, it spoke to his soul and he started to feel alive
Out of the static and into the attic, came feeling from the wires
And turning the dial, he wished for a while that he could be there too
A valve or resistor he could call sister, a friend he could hold on to
(Chorus)
No more tears, living fears
No more tears now
