No One Owns the Note

Intro

(oh... yeah...)

Verse 1

Every note's a world I haven't found yet

Every silence hides a shape I can't forget

I chase a melody like chasing an echo

Never sure where breath and rhythm come together

(rhythm come together)

Something's waiting underneath the changes

Waiting on the chord that rearranges me

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 its ghost I chase

This is the pull I can't erase

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 a truth too old for just one 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

They bent this same note and let it grow

Years of trial that taught them how to swing

Now it's mine to carry, mine to give

(mine to give)

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 its ghost I chase

This is the pull I can't erase

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 a truth too old for just one 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 shine

Solo

Chorus

This is the gift and its ghost I chase

This is the pull I can't erase

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 a truth too old for just one 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...)
