🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • Slit my throat, it's all I ever
  • I heard your voice through a photograph
  • I thought it up and brought up the past
  • Once you know you can never go back

Echo the hook

  • Take it on the other side
  • Take it on, take it on
  • How long, how long will I slide?
  • Separate my side, I don't
it'ssidedon't
