Lyrics
[Verse 1]
There was so much we felt we discovered
Breathing heavy with your face against my shirt
You were the one who said I love you first
Isn't it funny how the feeling starts to fade
You’re realizing as you're motoring
Waving to me from your friend's Cabriolet
With Sister Christian on, ironically
[Chorus]
Come and see me tonight
Come and see me tonight
Come on, Anais
Come and see me tonight
Come on see me tonight
(Come on, Anais)
[Verse 2]
I don’t blame you for abandoning your home
They say you gotta try everything at least once
Then you'll understand
Hell yeah you'll really know
I wrote a million words with nothing great to say
I Hope that repetition could elevate me
Someday you'd read me on an airline magazine
Something you might mistake as fate calling
Come and see me tonight
Come and see me tonight
Come on, Anais
Come and see me tonight
Come on see me tonight
(Come on, Anais)
Come and see me tonight
Come and see me tonight
Come on, Anais
Come and see me tonight
Come and see me tonight
Come on, Anais
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Verse 3]
Someone told me once I'm better off, instead
Another said that I'd do good to just forget
But neither of them ever met you at your best
Come and see me and we'll both find out what happens
Come and see me and we'll brush up on bad habits
[Chorus]
Come and see me tonight
Come and see me tonight
Come on, Anais
Come and see me tonight
Come on see me tonight
(Come on, Anais)
Come and see me tonight
Come and see me tonight
Come on, Anais
Come and see me tonight
Come and see me tonight
Come on, Anais
(Come on, Anais)
(Come on, Anais)
Come on, Anais
Come on, Anais

Other Versions
Demo Version
The Demo version is considered as slower at 84 BPM, however this may be an errant measure of the BPM. [3] The demo can be found on Invented Canadian Deluxe, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQDJjSiNT74 or https://soundcloud.com/jimmyeatworld/anais-demo-version? si=1ed6995338234c758bbb2b6e768de313&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharingand is slightly shorter at 3:19. It also lacks the backing vocals singing "(Come on, Anais)" in the Chorus and the fade out Guitar bridge is shorter and doesn't have '(Come on, Anais)" sung as a backing vocal over it.
Studio Version
The studio version has a slightly more produced feel with similar guitar work to Cautioners or Get It Faster opening (the first few seconds may be a sample from Cautioners directly) It can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=giJrRLCIy8A. It is otherwise very similar to the non-demo version.
