[Verse 1: Hamilton Leithauser]
Sing to me softly
Your words had lost me
Yeah, but your voice sounds nice
Sing to me slowly
Blow me some smoke
I don't mind it in my eyes

[Pre-Chorus: Hamilton Leithauser]
Oh, I've been running
I ran out of room
So I took my pocket change
And bought a chain for you
Your suitcase is empty
Your clothes are still out
At night I still wonder
Why we can't leave this town

[Chorus: Hamilton Leithauser]
Don't leave me now
(Don't leave me now)
Don't leave me now
(Don't leave me now)
Don't leave me now
(Don't leave me now)
Don't leave me now
[Verse 2: Hamilton Leithauser]
Sing to me softly
Your words have lost me
Yeah, but your tune is right
Talk to me slowly
Blow me some smoke
It's something I always like

[Pre-Chorus: Hamilton Leithauser]
Oh, I'd keep humming
That strange hollow tune
Till I blew my pipes out
Left my throat in ruins
My heart is so empty
The bottom fell out
Tonight, I'm just begging you
Please don't shut me out

[Chorus: Hamilton Leithauser]
Don't shut me out
(Don't shut me out)
Don't shut me out
(Don't shut me out)
Don't shut me out
(Don't shut me out)
Don't shut me out
[Bridge: Hamilton Leithauser]
And so I sing that song
The one from way back
Right now, the hurt is gone
It doesn't sound so bad
Yeah, when I sing that song
It doesn't sound so bad
I use the same voice
I always had

[Outro: Hamilton Leithauser]
I use the same voice
I always had
I use the same voice
I always had
I use the same voice
I always had
