On a Loop

On a Loop lyrics

Verse 1

Milo keeps the remote
like it owes him rent
thumb on the channel button
smiling at the screen

He loves bad reruns
the ones nobody names
laughs at the same sad faces
like they’re old friends

Pre-Chorus

He says, “don’t blink”
while the ads turn blue
somewhere in the glow
he loses you

Chorus

On a loop, on a loop
Milo spins the pain
On a loop, on a loop
same joke, different frame
He calls it moving on
I call it a stain
On a loop, on a loop
he stays the same

Verse 2

He wears last summer
like a borrowed coat
keeps every little receipt
in the coat pocket

At the corner store
he buys mint gum and time
checks his reflection
in a fryer shine

Pre-Chorus

He says, “it’s fine”
with a crooked grin
but the channel snow
keeps climbing in

Chorus

On a loop, on a loop
Milo spins the pain
On a loop, on a loop
same joke, different frame
He calls it moving on
I call it a stain
On a loop, on a loop
he stays the same

Bridge

He told me, “I don’t miss her
I miss the version
that used to text back
before the weather changed”
Now he’s playing tough
with a paper crown
laughs so hard
he almost falls through the frame

Chorus

On a loop, on a loop
Milo spins the pain
On a loop, on a loop
same joke, different frame
He calls it moving on
I call it a stain
On a loop, on a loop
he stays the same

Outro

Same screen
Same grin
Same ghost
Again
