Lean in close and speak to me low

Tell me things you want me to know

'Cause i want to be the one

You need to

Lean to

Speak to me low



Regretful it's the time of year for letting go

Wasting all my time 'cause you just tease me

Please leave me alone



Scared of the feeling of you coming home

I'm leaning out the open windows

Looking into the alley below

Rooftops black and the moon's hanging low



And the telephone wires

That carry the sound

Stretch across the sky

And under the ground



And i will be here

When you come back

And speak to me low

Speak to me low



I'll pretend that

It's okay

We'll just be friends

So the wires say



But i will be here

When you come back

And speak to me low

Speak to me low
