Say It Three Times

Verse

Six a.m. window, taxi lights blur

Your palm on my knee, the city's poor

Duffel bag stinks like last night's wine

We laugh at the driver, how far he's gone since 1989

Bassline still echoing in my ears

I'm twenty-one and I don't believe in fears

Pre-Chorus

So tell me why it feels like we're flying

Tell me this is the only time that matters

Every goodbye gets a little sweeter now

You say stay, I say yeah, no, we'll figure somehow

Chorus

Say it three times, slow and loud

Let's make every promise count right now

Say it three times, so I know for sure

We're gonna do this thing one more time, that's all we need to prove

Say it three times, low and clear

I'm yours till tomorrow, hold me here

Verse

Hotel bed sheet crumpled up like a map

You draw circles on my shoulder blade

The TV flickers with static light

We watch it flicker and you say tonight is ours still

Pizza box cold by the radiator hum

Nobody's leaving till the sun comes up

Pre-Chorus

So tell me why it feels like we're flying

Tell me this is the only time that matters

Every goodbye gets a little sweeter now

You say stay, I say yeah, no, we'll figure somehow

Chorus

Say it three times, slow and loud

Let's make every promise count right now

Say it three times, so I know for sure

We're gonna do this thing one more time, that's all we need to prove

Say it three times, low and clear

I'm yours till tomorrow, hold me here

Bridge

Maybe love is just a version of goodbye

Maybe every ending still gets to be a sky

Someday I'll drive through streets that don't feel like home

But right now your voice on the phone is mine alone

Chorus

Say it three times, slow and loud

Let's make every promise count right now

Say it three times, so I know for sure

We're gonna do this thing one more time, that's all we need to prove

Say it three times, low and clear

I'm yours till tomorrow, hold me here
