About this song

Sharon opens with slate, I open with stare, and the family Signal chat keeps score. She wins a little more.

Lyrics

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
She opens every puzzle with slate.
I open every one with stare.
Four of the letters are the same,
and the fifth one isn't fair.

[Verse 2]
She plays it in the app, on hard mode.
She got her badge for thirty, and then
she found out there's a badge for sixty,
so she did thirty again.

[Chorus]
We are one letter apart,
she's an L and I'm an R.
She starts with slate, I start with stare,
and the family chat keeps score.
She wins a little more.
She wins a little more.

[Verse 3]
I play mine on the web, the way it started,
the way the man who made it meant it to.
On my good days, it tells me "Splendid."
On the others, it says "Phew."

[Verse 4]
On Tuesday I had four in green
and one square left to fill.
There were six words that would fit there,
and I had three guesses still.

[Pre-Chorus]
Six words, three tries, that's a coin toss,
and I called it, and I lost.

[Chorus]
We are one letter apart,
she's an L and I'm an R.
She starts with slate, I start with stare,
and the family chat keeps score.
She wins a little more.
She wins a little more.

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Verse 5]
I put my X up in the family chat,
where the kids could see it, too,
and she wrote, "You're not even on hard mode.
You could have burned a guess or two."

[Bridge]
Now and then, one of us strays
and opens with somebody new.
One morning she was seen with crane.
One morning I was seen with adieu.
I said, "Who is crane, and why?"
She said, "Adieu? Is that goodbye?"

[Final Chorus]
We are one letter apart,
she's an L and I'm an R.
She starts with slate, I start with stare,
and the family chat keeps score.
She wins a little more.
I love her a little more.
She says she wins that, too.

[Outro]

[End]
