The studio's dark, got the candles on
I'm trying to write words to the perfect song
But nothing will rhyme, nothing sounds right
Now you're gone
It's raining outside so you can't be far
You're probably still soaked sitting in your car
Trying to make sense of all that we said
But you can't

And the words coming out of the speakers
Are the only way I've got left to reach ya
My soul plays the keys
And my heart plays the drums
I need you to hear me so turn the radio on
Now I'm trying and I'm dying to see ya
I know I hurt ya but I really didn't mean to
Got my pain on the mic, laying it all out tonight
I'll do it again and again till I get it right

Turn 'em up, turn up the speakers
Turn 'em up, turn up the speakers
Turn 'em up, turn up the speakers
Turn 'em up, turn up the speakers

Keys in the lock, now you're probably home
Walking through the door taking off your clothes
I turn up the sound
Hoping somehow I'll reach you
But I know that I can't, so I dial your phone
I don't leave a message, I just play the song
I hope that you hear, I hope that it's dear
As soon as you hold it up, up to your ear

Cause the words coming out of the speakers
Are the only way I've got left to reach ya
My soul plays the keys
And my heart plays the drums
I need you to hear me so turn the radio on
Now I'm trying and I'm dying to see ya
I know I hurt ya but I really didn't mean to
Got my pain on the mic, laying it all out tonight
I'll do it again and again till I get it right

Turn 'em up, turn up the speakers
Turn 'em up, turn up the speakers
Turn 'em up, turn up the speakers
Turn 'em up, turn up the speakers

And I wanna wrap these words around you
Cause I'll do whatever it takes for this song to find you

Oooh, Yeaaaah...

And the words coming out of the speakers
Are the only way I've got left to reach ya
My soul plays the keys
And my heart plays the drums
I need you to hear me so turn the radio on...
Now I'm trying and I'm dying to see ya
I know I hurt ya but I really didn't mean to
Got my pain on the mic, laying it all out tonight
I'll do it again and again till I get it right

Turn 'em up, turn up the speakers
Turn 'em up, turn up the speakers
Turn 'em up, turn up the speakers
Turn 'em up, turn up the speakers

The studio's dark, got the candles on
I'm trying to write words to the perfect song
But nothing will rhyme, nothing sounds right
Now you're gone
