[Verse 1: Fran Healy]
La la la la la la la listen, la la la la la la
Listen to me
I’m reminiscing, reminiscing and I’m missing
How it used to be
[Pre-Chorus: Susanna Hoffs]
They say when it hits you
You’ll know that it’s true
You’ll know ‘cause you’ll feel it
Ooh ooh
[Chorus: Fran and Susanna]
When I held you it was the only thing
Only thing
And all I knew was you were everything
Everything
[Verse 2: Susanna]
You are the record in the record shop
Nobody wants to buy
You are the metaphor, the metaphor
The meta for the other guy
[Pre-Chorus: Fran]
You call when you need it
You’re nobody’s fool
You take it or leave it
Ooh ooh
[Chorus: Susanna and Fran]
When I held you it was the only thing
Only thing
And all I knew was you were everything
Everything
[Bridge: Fran and Susanna]
Don’t lend me your heart
You’ll only tear it apart
Apart, apart, pa pa pa pa
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
[Outro]
When I held you it was the only thing
Only thing
And all I knew was you were everything
Everything
When I held you it was the only thing
Only thing
So why am I blue?

I love your voice.’ A year and a half after that first communication, we didn’t communicate, but singers and artists are like dogs in the park. They meet each other...
