Write me a song, she said
Get your guitar and bring it back to bed
Don't make it sad or too pretty
No metaphors, don't be so witty

Don't sing of love as if it's broken
Don't use a word you've ever spoken
And I won't open my eyes until the song is through
Until I hear the song of me and you

Try to talk about how lovers really feel, she said
Don't play the highlight only reel, she said
Maybe talk about the bed being too narrow
Or time shooting by just like an arrow

Don't sing of love as if it's broken
Don't use a word you've ever spoken
And I won't open my eyes until the song is through
Until I hear the song
Until I hear the song
Until I hear the song
Until I hear the song

Don't sing of love as if it's broken
Don't use a word you've ever spoken
Don't sing of love as if it's broken
Don't use a word you've ever spoken
And I won't open my eyes
Until the song is through
