[Intro]
[filtered, crackly jazz loop]
Ooo, baby, baby
Faint piano
Room noise
Then the drums slide in
[Verse 1]
Ash on my sleeve
Lipstick on glass
Old love letters
Rubber-band stash
You in that dress
Humming off-key
Streetlamp flicker
You next to me
Time on a tilt
Clock hands bend
We were the start
We were the end
I still hear you
Soft as a fade
Name in my mouth
Sweet, then it frays
[Chorus]
Ooo baby, baby (come back)
You still echo in my chest like that
Every little word that you half-sang, half-laughed
Ooo baby, baby (so fast)
We went from forever to past
Ooo baby, baby (hold tight)
You’re the line that I can’t rewrite
Every little second keeps looping in my mind
Ooo baby, baby
Rewind
[Verse 2]
Kitchen light hums
Tea gone cold
Joke on my tongue
Story untold
You said “breathe”
I held my pride
Watched us fall
From the inside
Neighbors asleep
Cab on the curb
I had a speech
Ran out of words
Now when it rains
I hear that tune
Two steps back
Right into you
[Chorus]
Ooo baby, baby (come back)
You still echo in my chest like that
Every little word that you half-sang, half-laughed
Ooo baby, baby (so fast)
We went from forever to past
Ooo baby, baby (hold tight)
You’re the line that I can’t rewrite
Every little second keeps looping in my mind
Ooo baby, baby
Rewind
[Bridge]
[breakdown to chopped vocal + bass]
Cut to the kiss
Cut to the fight
Cut to the door
Slammed in the night
Cut to your voice
Soft through the haze
I keep getting lost
In those ooo baby days (yeah)
[Chorus]
Ooo baby, baby (come back)
You still echo in my chest like that
Every little word that you half-sang, half-laughed
Ooo baby, baby (so fast)
We went from forever to past
Ooo baby, baby (hold tight)
You’re the line that I can’t rewrite
Every little second keeps looping in my mind
Ooo baby, baby
Rewind (rewind, rewind)
