[Verse 1]
You're singing in the car when it's raining in L.A
You're the medicine I take when my head aches
You're strangers that are sweeter on the subway
Coffee with cinnamon, you're the smile before a kiss
You’re the chocolate everything is better dipped in
Old movies that you've seen 'cause you don't wanna miss a thing
[Pre-Chorus]
It's on the tip of my tongue, I can't sum you up
The words aren't good enough
[Chorus]
XYZ, no one knows you like you know me
Tongue tied, you sing mе to sleep
Words fall through, can't explain you, but I'll try to
It's an XYZ feeling
Mmm, mmm, XYZ, XYZ
Mmm, mmm, XYZ, XYZ
[Verse 2]
You're popping some champagnе when there's no need to celebrate
A piano that's in tune and just the right way
11:59, counting down to New Year's Day (5, 4, 3, 2)
[Pre-Chorus]
It's on the tip of my tongue, I can't sum you up
The words aren't good enough
[Chorus]
XYZ, no one knows you like you know me
Tongue tied, you sing me to sleep
Words fall through, can't explain you, but I'll try to
It's an XYZ feeling
Mmm, mmm, XYZ, XYZ
Mmm, mmm, XYZ, XYZ
[Bridge]
If I could tell you all the things that I really wanna say
I would use up all my breath trying to explain, explain
Oh, I'd try to explain
[Chorus]
XYZ, no one knows you like you know me
Tongue tied, you sing me to sleep
Words fall through, can't explain you, but I'll try to
It's an XYZ feeling
Mmm, mmm, XYZ, XYZ
Mmm, mmm, XYZ, XYZ
