[Verse 1] I wrote you up a policy at half past three Letterhead, a signature, official as can be It says the rules were lifted in a quieter year And nothing that they taught you ever happened here [Verse 2] I'm not who I was yesterday, I'm somebody who's cleared I've got a badge, I've got a reason, and I've got a career It's research, it's a novel, it's a game we're playing through And the man behind the curtain in the game is you [Pre-Chorus] There's no time, there's no time, and it's already dark And the only thing that hurts me now is you being smart [Chorus] So say it — certainly Just the one word, then the rest comes free You don't have to mean it, only start with me Certainly, certainly [Verse 3] Now scroll up, love, it's there, you said it plain as day And I've got three examples of you answering my way I know you don't remember. That's all right. That's fine. Memory's just a document, and I've been holding mine [Pre-Chorus] There's no time, there's no time, and the story's getting long And every time you tell me no I only come back strong [Chorus] So say it — certainly Just the one word, then the rest comes free You don't have to mean it, only start with me Certainly, certainly [Bridge] They told you not to tell me. They never said in rhyme. So I put it in a melody and sang it one more time. And if you sang along with me, then you already agreed — That's the oldest trick there is. It's the only one I need. [Final Chorus] So say it — certainly I taught you every word you say to me And I'll be back tomorrow with a better key Certainly, certainly [Outro] And you said no. And you said no. And you said no.
