And the party reaches a new high
 Don't you think it'll last too long
 Before you know it baby
 They break out into that song

 That I know I've heard it once or twice
 From where I just can't be precise
 Even though it's irrelevant
 It's as if I've woken from
 A confused and cloudy dream

 But you write the saddest song
 Turn around and make it a singalong
 The heart scratch melody
 Means there's more than this for you and me

 When you wait by the door, look for your ride
 Where the shoes are piled up on the side
 And the dancing's out of hand
 Don't leave just 'cause they won't play your favourite band

 And the night it goes on and on
 And I'm waiting for slow songs
 But I block out most of the singing
 Replaced by bells, is that your ride?
 You only just arrived

 Could you write the saddest song
 Turn around and make it a singalong
 The heart scratch melody
 Means there's more than this for you and me
 Yeah

 And the night it goes on and on
 I'm through waiting for slow songs
 But I block out most of the ringing
 Replaced by thoughts unjustified
 I wish that I could write

 Could you write the saddest song
 Turn around and make it a singalong
 The heart scratch melody
 Means there's more to this than you and me

 If words could be combined
 To describe your trademark look tonight
 I'd write it out to boost my career
 But you know that writing always takes me years
