[Silence]
[Arrangement: Bouncy pop-rock with playful call-and-response vocals]
[Verse 1]
Did I hear
(What you said?)
It flew right by
(Over my head)
One more time
(Slow it down)
Let’s make sure
(It’s sound)
[Refrain]
Come again
(As in say it over)
Or come again…
(Thank you. It’s been a pleasure)
One means repeat
(The conversation)
One means return
(On another occasion)
[Verse 2]
Words can wander
(Hear and there)
Different meanings
(Everywhere)
One small phrase
(Two different ways)
Language loves
(A little maze)
[Chorus]
Read the room
(Read the tone)
Meaning isn’t
(Words alone)
Context tells
(The story then)
Before you say…
(Come again)
[Bridge]
Yes, language
(Plays this game)
Different meanings
(Same refrain)
Makes us laugh
(Once in a while)
Keeps us talking
(With a smile)
[Final Refrain]
Come again
(As in say it over)
Or come again…
(Thank you. It’s been a pleasure)
Hear it twice
(Or visit soon)
Either way…
(We’ll make some room)
[Outro]
See you then
(Until we do)
Come again…
(We’d love to see you!)
