🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • (Do I wanna know?)
  • If this feelin' flows both ways?
  • (Sad to see you go)
  • Was sorta hopin' that you'd stay

Echo the hook

  • Now I've thought it through
  • Crawlin' back to you
  • So have you got the guts?
  • Been wonderin' if your heart's still open
