[00:08]I'm trying to write words to the perfect song
[00:12]But nothing will rhyme, nothing sounds right
[00:17]Now you're gone
[00:21]It's raining outside so you can't be far
[00:24]You're probably still soaked sitting in your car
[00:29]Trying to make sense of all that we said
[00:33]But you can't
[00:37]And the words comin' out of the speakers
[00:41]Are the only way I've got left to reach ya
[00:45]My soul plays the keys, and my heart plays the drums
[00:49]I need you to hear me so turn the radio on
[00:53]Now I'm tryin' and I'm dyin' to see ya
[00:57]I know I hurt ya but I really didn't mean ta
[01:01]Got my pain on the mic, layin' it all out tonight
[01:06]I'll do it again and again till I get it right
[01:11]Turn em up, turn up the speakers
[01:15]Turn em up, turn up the speakers
[01:18]Turn em up, turn up the speakers
[01:23]Turn em up, turn up the speakers
[01:27]Keys in the lock, now you're probably home
[01:30]Walking through the door taking off your clothes
[01:33]I turn up the sound, hoping somehow
[01:37]I'll reach you
[01:43]But I know that I can't, so I dial your phone
[01:47]I don't leave a message, I just play the song
[01:51]And hope that you hear, I hope that it's clear
[01:53]As soon as you hold it up, up to your ear
[01:59]Cause the words comin' out of the speakers
[02:03]Are the only way I've got left to reach ya
[02:07]My soul plays the keys, and my heart plays the drums
[02:12]I need you to hear me so turn the radio on
[02:16]Now I'm tryin' and I'm dyin' to see ya
[02:20]I know I hurt ya but I really didn't mean ta
[02:24]Got my pain on the mic, layin' it all out tonight
[02:28]I'll do it again and again till I get it right
[02:33]Turn em up, turn up the speakers
[02:37]Turn em up, turn up the speakers
[02:41]Turn em up, turn up the speakers
[02:46]Turn em up, turn up the speakers
[02:49]And I wanna wrap these words around you
[02:57]Cause I'll do whatever it takes for this song to find you
[03:07]And the words comin' out of the speakers
[03:11]Are the only way I've got left to reach ya
[03:15]My soul plays the keys, and my heart plays the drums
[03:20]I need you to hear me so turn the radio on
[03:24]Now I'm tryin' and I'm dyin' to see ya
[03:27]I know I hurt ya but I really didn't mean ta
[03:32]Got my pain on the mic, layin' it all out tonight
[03:36]I'll do it again and again till I get it right
[03:41]Turn em up, turn up the speakers
[03:45]Turn em up, turn up the speakers
[03:49]Turn em up, turn up the speakers
[03:53]Turn em up, turn up the speakers
[03:57]The studio's dark, got the candles on
[04:01]I'm trying to write words to the perfect song
[04:05]But nothing will rhyme, nothing sounds right
[04:09]Now you're gone

I'm trying to write words to the perfect song

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
