lyrics

Our playlist ended and the time just passed,
And I thought about conditions for surrender,
And when you said “this couldn’t last.”
I left my mixtape in your mailbox.
Keys in the car, but kept the photographs,
And I’ve been planning out this little rescue,
But the stars weren’t right.
You left too fast.

Every word I said was true.
Nick and Norah didn’t end like this.
I held my breath until my lips went blue,
Trashed my piano, burnt my records.
I gave it all for you.

Our scene was ending and the train just left,
And I thought about the symptoms of forever
And when you said “I can’t be ready yet.”
I took my suitcase to the backseat.
Turned the key and drove to forget,
‘Cause I’ve been plotting out this little rescue.
The money’s on the mattress; you won that bet.
So now I’m holding up this stereo.

Every word I said was true.
Nick and Norah didn’t end like this.
I held my breath until my lips went blue,
Trashed my piano, burnt my records.
I gave it all for you.

So now I’m here in this street, holding up this stereo,
And thinking “I wish you watched movies like this.”
So now I’m here in this street, holding up my hands,
And thinking, “What did we possibly expect? Say Anything?”
So, baby, say anything.

(Lyrics and Music: Bobby DiBari)
