Lyrics
Intro
(oh... yeah...)
Verse 1
Every note's a room I haven't built yet
Every silence holds a shape I can't forget
I chase a melody like chasing weather
Never sure where air and sound come together
(sound come together)
Something's waiting underneath the changes
Waiting on the chord that rearranges
Pre-Chorus
This is how the mind gets free
This is how a feeling learns to breathe
Every phrase a door I didn't know was there
Every pause a kind of prayer
Chorus
This is the gift and the ghost I chase
This is the hunger behind my face
Every song I write is a piece of me I lend
I shape it with my mind, then set it free to blend
(free to blend, free to blend)
This is the language older than my voice
Every hand before me made their own choice
I'm just a channel, I'm just a humble hand
Trying to translate what I don't understand
Verse 2
Someone sang this melody long ago
Someone bent this note and let it grow
Years of trial that taught them how to swing
Now it's mine to carry, mine to bring
(mine to bring)
Every scale I know was handed down like treasure
Every rhythm was somebody's measure
Pre-Chorus
This is how the mind gets free
This is how a feeling learns to breathe
Every phrase a door I didn't know was there
Every pause a kind of prayer
Chorus
This is the gift and the ghost I chase
This is the hunger behind my face
Every song I write is a piece of me I lend
I shape it with my mind, then set it free to blend
(free to blend, free to blend)
This is the language older than my voice
Every hand before me made their own choice
I'm just a channel, I'm just a humble hand
Trying to translate what I don't understand
Bridge
No one owns the note before it's played
No one owns the color once it's made
I give it back the moment that it's mine
Pass it on and let it climb
Solo
Chorus
This is the gift and the ghost I chase
This is the hunger behind my face
Every song I write is a piece of me I lend
I shape it with my mind, then set it free to blend
(free to blend, free to blend)
This is the language older than my voice
Every hand before me made their own choice
I'm just a channel, I'm just a humble hand
Trying to translate what I don't understand
Outro
(oh... trying to translate...)
(what I don't understand...)
