 Pull it out, turn it up,  what's your favorite song?
 That's mine, I've been crying  to it since I was young
 I know there's someone out there  feeling just like I feel
  I know they're waiting up, I  know they're waiting to heal
 And I've been holding my breath
  Are you holding your breath
  For  too many years to count?
  Too many years to count
 And we waited  for  the sirens  that never come
 And we only  write by the moon
  Every  word handwritten
 And to ease  the loss of youth
  And how many  years I've missed you
  Pages  plead forgiveness
  Every  word handwritten
 Let it out, let me in,  take a hold of my hand
 There's nothing like another soul  that's been cut up the same
 And did you want to drive without  a word in between?
  I can understand,  you need a minute to breathe
  And to sew up the seams  after all  this defeat
 All this defeat
 And we waited  for  the sirens  that never come
 And we only  write by the moon
  Every  word handwritten
 And to ease  the loss of youth
  And how many  years I've missed you
  Pages  plead forgiveness
  Every  word handwritten
 Bridge/Outro -  /  /  /  (x2)
 Here in the dark,  I cherish  the moonlight
 I'm in love  with the way  you're in love  with the night
  And it travels  from heart  to limb  to pen
 And we waited for  the sirens that never come
  And we only write by the moon
  Every word handwritten (starting here, simply repeat C/G/Am/F )
  Every word handwritten
  And with this pen, I thee wed
  From my heart to your distress
C <----------- Ending on a final strum of C
  Every word handwritten
