[Intro – airy female humming, 8 bars]
Mmm… ooh…
[Verse 1 – male lead, 8 bars]
The last few friends had said goodbye
Your coat was waiting by the door
I reached to turn the speakers down
You slid the chairs across the floor
[Pre-Chorus – male lead, 4 bars]
You sang the words a beat ahead
I tried to lead, you led instead
[Chorus – male lead, 8 bars]
Play it twice, play it twice
One for the speakers, one for the heart
Play it twice, play it twice
Hold me close, take it back to the start
[Instrumental – four-note synth hook, 8 bars]
[Verse 2 – male lead, 8 bars]
You set your keys beside my own
And kicked your shoes beneath a chair
I saw us laughing in the glass
And wished that I could keep us there
[Pre-Chorus – male lead, 4 bars]
You sang the words a beat ahead
I tried to lead, you led instead
[Chorus – male lead, 8 bars]
Play it twice, play it twice
One for the speakers, one for the heart
Play it twice, play it twice
Hold me close, take it back to the start
[Dance Break – octave bass and analog arpeggio, 16 bars]
[Breakdown – close male voice, 8 bars]
Let the last note disappear
Keep your hand right where it is
I can feel the music here
With your fingers on my wrist
[Final Chorus – doubled male lead, 16 bars]
Play it twice, play it twice
One for the speakers, one for the heart
Play it twice, play it twice
Hold me close, take it back to the start
Play it twice, play it twice
One for the speakers, one for the heart
Play it twice, play it twice
Hold me close, take it back to the start
[Outro – male lead with delay, synth hook, 8 bars]
Play it twice
