[Verse 1]
Met you by the merch stand
Wrists full of paper bands
You said
"I’ve seen you somewhere"
I said
"Probably in my plans"
[Pre-Chorus]
We were talking over feedback
Still you heard my name
You were laughing at my bad jokes
Like we’d always been the same
[Chorus]
Sing it back
Sing it back now
Under that yellow street sign
We were so loud
You took my hand like you’d done it all your life
Two hearts off-key
Somehow in time
Sing it back
Sing it back now
Every wrong word still worked out
You said
"Promise me we won’t forget tonight"
I said
"Only if you stay 'til the lights come bright"
[Verse 2]
Shared a flat
Flat soda
You stole my worn-out coat
You were circling my scribbles
On the back of your ticket note
[Pre-Chorus]
There were strangers all around us
But you filled the frame
You were humming my last chorus
Before you knew my second name
[Chorus]
Sing it back
Sing it back now
Under that yellow street sign
We were so loud
You took my hand like you’d done it all your life
Two hearts off-key
Somehow in time
Sing it back
Sing it back now
Every wrong word still worked out
You said
"Promise me we won’t forget tonight"
I said
"Only if you stay 'til the lights come bright"
[Bridge]
[Band drops
Just guitar and vocal]
If we fade like posters in the rain
Will you still remember how we sang my name?
You said
"I don’t care where this goes
Just stay"
"Just stay
Just stay" (oh)
[Chorus]
Sing it back
Sing it back now
Under that yellow street sign
We were so loud
You took my hand like you’d done it all your life
Two hearts off-key
Somehow in time
Sing it back
Sing it back now
Every wrong word still worked out
You said
"Promise me we won’t forget tonight"
I said
"Only if you stay 'til the second sunrise"
