Intro

Verse 1

He was a songwriter

Writing songs about a girl

She was a ghostwriter

Lying to the world

In deep anticipation

 Of a day that she had written

 And by her own admission

 She'd be picked up, kissed, and twirled

Verse 2

same as Verse 1):

He was a fearful boy

Watchful of the earth

Worried that it might split apart

And he wouldn't even hear it first

That he'd be caught in some position

Like a broken old physician

And worst of all

He feared that it would hurt

Pre-chorus

He's pouring his heart out

 Is nothing gonna come of that

So when can he finally say

Chorus

 At last, at last,

At last, at last,

Oh I thought you'd never ask

Verse 3

same as Verse 1):

Oh seven hundred letters

She cataloged them all

Dated them and numbered them

And then hid them down below

She would always keep 'em

Once a year would read them

Each time she'd be thinking

Somehow he must know

Pre-chorus

(same as above):

She's pouring her heart out

Is nothing gonna come of that

So when can she finally say

Chorus

same as above)

Bridge

Verse 4

same as verse 1):

Outside of his apartment

The night was blanketed in mist

She stood looking up at his light

And thinking what it meant

It meant that he was in there breathing

What it was he was thinking

It was of her, she wished he wished

Pre-chorus

same as above):

They're pouring their hearts out

Is nothing gonna come of that

So when can they finally say

Chorus

same as above) x2

 End on
