Hard Copy

Verse 1

Fingertips scan the morning news

Flickering screens, nothing to lose

Every message just slips away

All I want is something that stays

Stack of pages, cold in my hands

Ink defining where I stand

Static words don’t erase the past

Only paper is built to last

Chorus

I want a hard copy, in my hands tonight

Printed proof of what I’m feeling, it’s black and white

No simulation, this paper’s real

Hard copy memory, I want to feel

Post-Chorus

Give me a sign, give me a sign

Give me a sign, give me a sign

Verse 2

Digital words all blur and fade

Nothing to hold, just thrown away

But ink on a page survives the fall

Tangible truth, I want it all

Pre-Chorus

Flashing pixels, they just can’t compare

A permanent record, nothing’s lost in air

Chorus

I want a hard copy, in my hands tonight

Printed proof of what I’m feeling, it’s black and white

No simulation, this paper’s real

Hard copy memory, I want to feel

Post-Chorus

Give me a sign, give me a sign

Give me a sign, give me a sign

Violin Solo

Chorus

I want a hard copy, words I can defend

A printed memory no signal can amend

When the power’s gone, the truth remains

Hard copy evidence through time and rain

Post-Chorus

Give me a sign, give me a sign

Give me a sign, give me a sign
