Instrumental Intro
Verse 1
You left a letter on the windowsill
Folded twice
Rain was tapping out a tired tune
On the roof
Pre-Chorus
And I hummed a note I couldn't name
Some old song
From a language I forgot I knew
Long ago
Chorus
Ooo-eee-ooo-eee
Sing it back to me
Ooo-eee-ooo-eee
That's the only sound that fits
Ooo-eee-ooo-eee
Sing it back to me
Ooo-eee-ooo-eee
Nothing else will do
Post-Chorus
Mmm-mmm-mmm
Mmm-mmm-mmm
Verse 2
Whistling through the cracks along the wall
Cold and thin
Every corner keeps a trace of you
Faint and worn
Pre-Chorus
So I hold the melody like thread
Between my teeth
Pull it slow until the winter ends
And I can breathe
Chorus
Ooo-eee-ooo-eee
Sing it back to me
Ooo-eee-ooo-eee
That's the only sound that fits
Ooo-eee-ooo-eee
Sing it back to me
Ooo-eee-ooo-eee
Nothing else will do
Post-Chorus
Mmm-mmm-mmm
Mmm-mmm-mmm
Bridge
Say it softer
Say it slower
Say it like you never meant to leave
Say it softer
Say it slower
Say it like the words could still believe
Chorus
Ooo-eee-ooo-eee
Sing it back to me
Ooo-eee-ooo-eee
That's the only sound that fits
Ooo-eee-ooo-eee
Sing it back to me
Ooo-eee-ooo-eee
Nothing else will do
Post-Chorus
Mmm-mmm-mmm
Mmm-mmm-mmm
