Lyrics

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Mm

Verse 1

I was wandering through the static grey

No compass and no song inside my chest

Then your hand came through the morning haze

And pressed a single note against my chest

Pre-Chorus

And suddenly a chord began to bloom

A resonance I'd buried in the room

Chorus

You saved me

You gave me the note

And now I know

You saved me

You gave me the note

And now I know

Verse 2

I used to hum the ghosts of melodies

Too scared to let the sound escape my lips

But you unlocked the quiet in the breeze

And taught my broken rhythm how to slip

Pre-Chorus

Now every breath is tuning to the same

A frequency that calls me by my name

Chorus

You saved me

You gave me the note

And now I know

You saved me

You gave me the note

And now I know

Bridge

(Call me out)

(Call me out of the dark)

(Mm-hmm)

I hear the pitch of everything I lost

(Everything I lost)

Ringing clear across the frost

So clear

So clear

Chorus

You saved me

You gave me the note

And now I know

You saved me

You gave me the note

And now I know

Outro

Now I know

Now I know

Mm

Now I know

Verse 3

I follow ribbons made of shaded gold

You trace the line and I begin to climb

The note you gave me never lets me fold

It hums a home inside the space of time

Pre-Chorus

The key you turned is hanging on my skin

I'm singing out the sound I kept within

Chorus

You saved me

You gave me the note

And now I know

You saved me

You gave me the note

And now I know

Bridge

(Stay with me)

(Stay with me in the sound)

(Mm)

Every interval is calling you

(Calling you)

Every octave pulls me through

So true

So true

Interlude

(Mm-hmm)

(Mm)

(Mm-hmm)

Verse 4

I used to walk in muted afterglow

Afraid the silence was my only friend

But now I hear the current ebb and flow

The note you gave me will not ever end

Pre-Chorus

The chorus swells until it finds my chest

I'm finally the song that I confess

Chorus

You saved me

You gave me the note

And now I know

You saved me

You gave me the note

And now I know

Bridge

(Let it ring)

(Let it ring through me)

(Mm-hmm)

I feel the harmony beneath the ache

(Beneath the ache)

Every note I give I take

So clear

So clear

Final Chorus

You saved me

You gave me the note

And now I know

(Now I know)

You saved me

You gave me the note

And now I know

(And now I know)

Outro

Now I know

Now I know

(Mm)

Now I know

Now I know

(Mm-hmm)

I know

I know

(Mm)

I know
