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 comin' 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 tryin' and I'm dyin' to see ya   I know I hurt ya but I really didn't mean ta   Got my pain on the mic, layin' 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   And hope that you hear, I hope that it's clear   As soon as you hold it up, up to your ear      Cause the words comin' 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 tryin' and I'm dyin' to see ya   I know I hurt ya but I really didn't mean ta   Got my pain on the mic, layin' 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      And the words comin' 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 tryin' and I'm dyin' to see ya   I know I hurt ya but I really didn't mean ta   Got my pain on the mic, layin' 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
