[Verse 1] I left a note on the café glass Lipstick red and a little bit sad Your name curled up in my coat sleeve Like a secret that won’t leave I crossed the bridge with my hair undone Bought two pears and a paper sun You called my phone from the avenue I said maybe, maybe to you [Pre-Chorus] Hold me closer, let the world slow down One more turn and we’ll never touch ground If you’re looking, I’m already near Say my name and I disappear [Chorus] Meet me by the river Take my hand, take my hand Meet me by the river We can stay where we stand Oh, oh, Paris in my chest Oh, oh, you know the rest Meet me by the river Take my hand, take my hand [Verse 2] We danced in a room with the windows blue Old perfume and a scarlet shoe You laughed like you had nothing to lose That kind of sound makes me choose I wore your jacket, you stole my ring Small-town ache with a diamond sting Now every door I open wide Feels like your voice on the other side [Pre-Chorus] Hold me closer, let the world slow down One more turn and we’ll never touch ground If you’re looking, I’m already near Say my name and I disappear [Chorus] Meet me by the river Take my hand, take my hand Meet me by the river We can stay where we stand Oh, oh, Paris in my chest Oh, oh, you know the rest Meet me by the river Take my hand, take my hand [Bridge] Maybe love is just a passing train Still I wait in the soft rain If you come back, I’ll know it’s true I was made for a view of you [Chorus] Meet me by the river Take my hand, take my hand Meet me by the river We can stay where we stand Oh, oh, Paris in my chest Oh, oh, you know the rest Meet me by the river Take my hand, take my hand
