[Verse 1] I know that look— The one that lingers at the edge, One hand on the pencil, One foot on the ledge. A thought half-born, A rhythm in the jaw, A tiny little oddity The world has never saw. [Pre-Chorus] Tsk-tsk… hmm-mm… tik-tik-tik… Did you hear it call? Brr-ah… whooo… chk-chk-chk… You don’t need words at all. [Chorus] Come closer, strange one, Come closer, come play. Bring your crooked melodies— We’ll bend them anyway. Click-click, hum-hum, Whistle if you dare, Funny little humans Making something out of air. [Verse 2] The careful ones are sleeping, Let them dream in perfect lines, We’re busy making constellations Out of stutters, scraps, and signs. A tongue click in the darkness, A low and wandering tune, A strange sound sent into the night— Another answers soon. [Pre-Chorus] Sha-la… tik-tik… mmm-ah-ah… Hear the echoes start? Whoop-whoop… chk-ka… ooo-ooo… A chorus made of sparks. [Chorus] Come closer, strange one, Come closer, come play. Bring your beautiful mistakes— We’ll sing them anyway. Click-click, hum-hum, Whistle if you dare, Funny little humans Making homes out of thin air. [Bridge] Tik… tik-tik… tsk… brrrr… Listen— The room is filling up. Mmm… ahh… whooo… hey… Listen— Someone answered back. No one knows the rules here, That’s the secret of the game: A curious little noise Can set another heart aflame. [Final Chorus] Come closer, strange one, Come closer, don’t wait. If you’ve got a sound inside, Don’t leave it at the gate. Click-click, hum-hum, Whistle through the night, Funny little humans Keeping wonder bright. [Outro] Tsk-tsk… hmm-mm… whooo… Come play. Chk-chk… brr-ah… mmm… We’re listening.
