[Verse 1]
You were here, and then you left
Now there's nobody, nobody
Now they're all just second best
There's nobody, nobody

[Pre-Chorus]
So if you want me, I'll be around
You're a bird in the water
I'm a fish on the ground
Just hold me closer
Oh, won't you hold me down tonight?

[Chorus]
But if you cut a piece of guitar string
I would wear it like it's a wedding ring
Wrapped around my finger, you know what I mean?
You play my heart strings
If you cut a piece of guitar string
I would wear it, this is the real thing
Wrapped around my finger, you know what I mean?
You play my heart strings

[Verse 2]
And when you're near, I feel the best
I'm somebody, somebody
It's in my pulse, it's in my chest
My whole body, whole body

[Pre-Chorus]
So if you want me, I'll be around
You're a bird in the water
I'm a fish on the ground
Just hold me closer
Oh, won't you hold me down tonight?

[Chorus]
But if you cut a piece of guitar string
I would wear it like it's a wedding ring
Wrapped around my finger, you know what I mean?
You play my heart strings
If you cut a piece of guitar string
I would wear it, this is the real thing
Wrapped around my finger, you know what I mean?
You play my heart strings

[Bridge]
You're in the country and I'm in the town
You're a bird in the water, I'm a fish on the ground
And I want to be there for you tonight
And I hope you hear me
Baby, hold on tight
Hold on tight, yeah

[Interlude]
If you cut a piece of guitar string
I would wear it like it's a wedding ring
Wrapped around my finger, you know what I mean?

[Chorus]
If you cut a piece of guitar string
I would wear it like it's a wedding ring
Wrapped around my finger, you know what I mean?
You play my heart strings
If you cut a piece of guitar string
I would wear it, this is the real thing
Wrapped around my finger, you know what I mean?
You play my heart strings

Carly Rae Jepsen

Carly Rae Jepsen is a Canadian singer and songwriter. Born in 1985, she first came to fame by finishing in third place on the TV show Canadian Idol. Shortly afterwards, she released her debut album, Tug Of War, including the Canadian top 40 singles “Tug Of War” and “Bucket.”

Three years later, she released the single “Call Me Maybe” and planned to follow it with what would have been her second album, Curiosity. However, after the song caught the ear of fellow Canadian, Justin Bieber, he referred her to his manager, Scooter Braun, which led to her signing an international deal with Interscope Records. Before long, it became one of 2012’s most enduring hits, racking up over a billion YouTube views and topping the charts in 21 countries, including the US and Canada. The aforementioned Curiosity album was cut down to EP length, and work continued on her eventual sophomore LP, Kiss. Released in September 2012, it also featured the Owl City collaboration “Good Time”, which reached #8 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Jepsen returned in March 2015 with “I Really Like You,” the lead single from her third studio album. The song received a more muted reception than her breakout hit–although it did reach #2 in the United Kingdom–and consequently, the album, E•MO•TION, failed to make a substantial impact chartwise. Despite this, the album drew in a new wave of fans with its more experimental and mature sound; such was the amount of praise among both the public and critics that a follow-up EP of album outtakes–E•MO• Side B–was released on the album’s first anniversary.
