The studio’s dark, got the candles on
I’m trying to write words to the perfect song
But nothing will rhyme, nothing sounds right
Now you’re gone

It’s raining outside so you can’t be far
You’re probably still soaked sitting in your car
Trying to make sense of all that we said
But you can’t

And the words comin’ out of the speakers
Are the only way I’ve got left to reach ya
My soul plays the keys and my heart plays the drums
I need you to hear me so turn the radio on
Now I’m tryin’ and I’m dyin’ to see ya
I know I hurt ya but I really didn’t mean ta
Got my pain on the mic, layin’ it all out tonight
I’ll do it again and again till I get it right

Turn em up, turn up the speakers
Turn em up, turn up the speakers
Turn em up, turn up the speakers
Turn em up, turn up the speakers

Keys in the lock, now you’re probably home
Walking through the door, taking off your clothes
I turn up the sound hoping somehow
I’ll reach you

But I know that I can’t so I dial your phone
I don’t leave a message, I just play the song
And hope that you hear, I hope that it’s clear
As soon as you hold it up up to your ear

Cause the words comin’ out of the speakers
Are the only way I’ve got left to reach ya
My soul plays the keys and my heart plays the drums
I need you to hear me so turn the radio on
Now I’m tryin’ and I’m dyin’ to see ya
I know I hurt ya but I really didn’t mean ta
Got my pain on the mic, layin’ it all out tonight
I’ll do it again and again till I get it right

Turn em up, turn up the speakers
Turn em up, turn up the speakers
Turn em up, turn up the speakers
Turn em up, turn up the speakers

And I wanna wrap these words around you
Cause I’ll do whatever it takes for this song to find you

And the words comin’ out of the speakers
Are the only way I’ve got left to reach ya
My soul plays the keys and my heart plays the drums
I need you to hear me so turn the radio on
Now I’m tryin’ and I’m dyin’ to see ya
I know I hurt ya but I really didn’t mean ta
Got my pain on the mic, layin’ it all out tonight
I’ll do it again and again till I get it right

Turn em up, turn up the speakers
Turn em up, turn up the speakers
Turn em up, turn up the speakers
Turn em up, turn up the speakers

The studio’s dark, got the candles on
I’m trying to write words to the perfect song
But nothing will rhyme, nothing sounds right
Now you’re gone

I said “hello, I think I’m broken”
And though I was only jokin’
It took me by surprise when you agreed.
I was tryin’ to be clever,
For the life of me I never
Would have guessed how far the simple truth would lead.
You knew all my lines
You knew all my tricks
You knew how to heal that pain
No medicine can fix.

And I bless the day I met you,
And I thank god that he let you
Lay beside me for a moment that lives on.
And the good news is I’m better
For the time we spent together,
And the bad news is you’re gone.

Lookin’ back, it’s still surprisin’.
I was sinking, you were rising.
With a look you caught me in mid-air.
Now I know god has his reasons
But sometimes it’s hard to see them
When I awake and find that you’re not there.
You found hope in hopeless
Your made crazy sane
You became the missing link
That helped me break my chains.

And I bless the day I met you,
And I thank god that he let you
Lay beside me for a moment that lives on.
And the good news is I’m better
For the time we spent together,
And the bad news is you’re gone.
The bad news is you’re gone.

You’re gone.

You’re gone.

Darlin’ I’ve been standin’ here
Just watchin’ you all night
And I think I’ve even caught you
Watchin’ me a couple times
If I don’t ask I’ll never know
This may sound dumb, but here we go
Do you believe in love at first sight?
Me neither!

I’m glad that we agree, believe me
That’s a big relief
Well, this place is awful crowded
And this music is so loud
Would you like to go and grab a bite to eat?
Me neither

It’s nice to finally meet a girl
Who doesn’t move too fast
I was only checkin’,
That’s the reason that I asked
Relationships need time to grow,
You and I should take this slow
And darlin’ tell me, would you like to dance?
Me neither

I was just bein’ polite.
Thank goodness,
My feet are much too tired
I’m sure you’re tired too,
I can see an empty booth
Would you like to maybe sit and talk a while?
Me neither

We’d never get along
I’m thinkin’
There’s no chemistry at all
This has been a waste of time
And I’m runnin’ outta lines
Don’t you think it’s time for me to end this song?
Me neither

Here we go
Awww, yeah
