[Verse 1] I was gonna write you back Now I write you back but write you back You never wrote me Thought if I wrote you something beautiful Something so beautiful that you would know I was gonna make it right Black and white in black on white Day and night Minor chords to try to fix a major fight But there’s another on your mind tonight
[Prehook] And I swore, I swore I was gonna get you back But the thing is this song, this song is keeping us apart
[Hook] I fell asleep on my piano, piano Said I fell asleep on my piano And the melody go waitin’, waitin’ waitin’ (For so long) Waitin’, waitin’, waitin’ (Waitin') And the melody go waitin’, waitin’ waitin’ (For so long) Waitin’, waitin’, waitin’
[Verse 2] I was hopin’ to Push a set of keys that could open you Write a melody I could have spoken through But all you gotta see that I'm broken too We've been makin' memories Now everything that's left is all these melodies The pen and the paper turned to enemies Just when I was tryin' to write our remedy
[Prehook]
[Hook]
[Posthook x2] I'll write you symphonies and novels, declaration of dependence Testaments and bibles, just promise that you won't end this Operas and oddyseys, lullabies and poetry Just to make you re-notice me, just to make you
[Verse 3] Thought I let you know My timing is terrible, bought a metronome Always thought a dissonance would get you home The symphony's over, but I can't let you go
