The first time that I saw you,
I wanted you to be the beat
(Wanted you to be the beat)
To my base line,
And maybe we could make a melody.
But the lyrics came and they said
"No, don't go. You'd be better off making this duet a solo"
I've seen the sheet music and I think it's kinda strange that we make I to the bridge thinking we might find a key change.

But the last time you said you loved me,
I heard our love as a song.
The harmonies were all wrong,
But baby I didn't mind
Until we got to the second verse,
We ran all out of words,
And that beat skipped. Skipped.
On out of time.
Then my cord was a hit,
We were only a hit
In my mind.
But stupid me, I believed, the last three words of the last line.
But that's fine that'll be the last time.
