歌詞

[Intro]
[Verse]
Rain taps the glass of my high-rise cell
Fluorescent humming is a quiet kind of hell
I pulled out a drawer just to clear the space
And found a blue postcard with your name on the face
Unfinished sentences, ink turned to grey
The things that I didn't have courage to say
Back when the music was all that I knew
Before I grew tired and I walked out on you
[Pre-Chorus]
The coffee is cold in a chipped ceramic cup
I’m finally brave enough to look it all up
The ghost of a melody is starting to rise
Reflected in windows, hidden in eyes
I’m tracing the stamps with a trembling hand
Trying to remember the girl in the band
[Chorus]
I traded the spotlight for steady pay
I let the jazz standards just wither away
But I still feel the heat of those scuffed stage lights
Through the lonely hum of these corporate nights
I never said thank you for believing in me
Before I got lost in the way it should be
Yeah, I’m finding the rhythm, I’m finding the key
To the version of myself I finally see
[Post-Chorus]
I’m signing my name
I’m ending the game
I’m finding the flame
[Verse]
You told me the silence is part of the song
That the notes in the middle are where we belong
But I wanted safety, I wanted the gold
I traded the stories for things to be sold
Now faded sheet music is tucked in the back
Between the tax papers and folders of black
I remember the smoke and the upright bass
And the look of pure magic upon your face
[Pre-Chorus]
The coffee is cold in a chipped ceramic cup
I’m finally brave enough to look it all up
The ghost of a melody is starting to rise
Reflected in windows, hidden in eyes
I’m tracing the stamps with a trembling hand
Trying to remember the girl in the band
[Chorus]
I traded the spotlight for steady pay
I let the jazz standards just wither away
But I still feel the heat of those scuffed stage lights
Through the lonely hum of these corporate nights
I never said thank you for believing in me
Before I got lost in the way it should be
Yeah, I’m finding the rhythm, I’m finding the key
To the version of myself I finally see
[Bridge]
The shadows are shifting to minor and deep
From the promises that I was too scared to keep
I walked out on the woman you knew I could be
Locked her in cabinets and threw out the key
But the cello is swelling, the rhythm is back
I’m finding the color inside of the black
I’m signing the card, I’m sealing the fate
God, I hope that you know it was never too late
I’m screaming the lyrics I buried so long
I’m finally finishing our favorite song
[Solo]
[Chorus]
I traded the spotlight for steady pay
I let the jazz standards just wither away
But I still feel the heat of those scuffed stage lights
Through the lonely hum of these corporate nights
I never said thank you for believing in me
Before I got lost in the way it should be
Yeah, I’m finding the rhythm, I’m finding the key
To the version of myself I finally see
[Breakdown]
No more spreadsheets
No more retreats
Just the heartbeat
On the cold streets
[Post-Chorus]
I’m signing my name
I’m ending the game
I’m finding the flame
[Outro]
