[Verse 1] You wrote my name beside the old café Then crossed it out before the end of day I kept the paper folded in my coat A little dare you never got to know [Pre-Chorus] Now every time you turn away I find a better word to say [Chorus] Say it plain, don’t dress it up I can read you when you’re looking down Take one step, I’ll meet you there No more almost, no more standing ’round If you want me, make it known I won’t guess beneath the noise Say it plain, don’t dress it up I can hear it in your voice [Verse 2] Your silver ring kept spinning on the table You told a story, changed it when you’re able I laughed too loud and nearly missed the train You waved from platform three and mouthed my name [Chorus] Say it plain, don’t dress it up I can read you when you’re looking down Take one step, I’ll meet you there No more almost, no more standing ’round If you want me, make it known I won’t guess beneath the noise Say it plain, don’t dress it up I can hear it in your voice [Breakdown: synth, bass, treble] [Bridge: female rap] Look, I kept receipts, every promise, every pause You can quit the little act, I already know the cause No more halfway, no more waiting by the door If you mean it, bring it here, don’t rehearse it anymore I set the pace, I call the play One clear answer, that’s the only way [Final Verse] So meet me where the late bus leaves at ten Bring the truth, don’t make me ask again I’ve got my coat, the folded page is gone Tell me now, and we can carry on [Final Chorus] Say it plain, don’t dress it up I can read you when you’re looking down Take one step, I’ll meet you there No more almost, no more standing ’round If you want me, make it known I won’t guess beneath the noise Say it plain, don’t dress it up I can hear it in your voice [Outro] Say it plain, don’t dress it up I can hear it in your voice
