Say It Plainly

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I kept the receipt from the little café Folded in a book that I still keep today You drew a crooked sun beside my name Small proof that nothing stayed the same [Pre-Chorus] I don't need a promise dressed in gold Just tell me what you meant back then [Chorus] If you still think of me, say it plainly No perfect words, no grand parade Meet me where the ordinary found us And let the quiet tell the truth we made If you still think of me, come closer Leave the old excuses at the door I can take the answer, whatever it is I just can't keep guessing anymore [Verse 2] The corner shop changed hands in early spring The bell above the door still makes that same small ring I pass it on my way home sometimes And wonder if your route still crosses mine [Pre-Chorus] I don't need the past to reappear Just one honest sentence I can hear [Chorus] If you still think of me, say it plainly No perfect words, no grand parade Meet me where the ordinary found us And let the quiet tell the truth we made If you still think of me, come closer Leave the old excuses at the door I can take the answer, whatever it is I just can't keep guessing anymore [Bridge] Maybe we were young, maybe we were scared Maybe timing took us somewhere else But if there is a little feeling left Don't make me find it by myself [Final Chorus] If you still think of me, say it plainly Let the whole room fall away Meet me where the ordinary found us And give the unfinished part a name If you still think of me, come closer Leave the old excuses at the door I can take the answer, whatever it is I just can't keep guessing anymore [Outro] Say it plainly Say it plainly I can take the truth
