[Intro: Hard and heavy rhythmic acoustic guitar strumming, driving beat] [Verse 1] [Low, raspy baritone, brooding delivery] I met her in a basement in the heart of the town Where the amps are loud and the beer goes down She didn't look like the rest of the crowd Standing so quiet while the music was loud I sang my heart out, I was screaming blue But all I wanted was a moment with you [Verse 2] [Voice gaining grit and a slight edge] She doesn’t need to talk to know what I mean She's the realest thing that I've ever seen She walked up to the edge of the stage so small And suddenly I wasn't angry at all She gave me a smile and a tilt of her head And I forgot every single word that I said [Chorus] [Explosive, raw grunge wail, anthemic, heavy crashing drums] Well, I’m not the world’s most easy-going guy But my demons quiet down when I catch her eye E-L-E-N-A, Elena Lo-lo-lo-lo-Elena E-L-E-N-A, Elena Lo-lo-lo-lo-Elena [Verse 3] [Back to a low, quiet rumble, stripped back instruments] Now the crowd’s gone home and the lights are dim And the world outside is looking pretty grim But she takes my hand and she pulls me near And suddenly I've got absolutely nothing to fear She knows the man behind the leather and the sweat She’s the greatest thing that I will ever get [Bridge] [Building intensity, thumping toms, voice climbing higher and rougher] Well, I’ve been up and I’ve been down And I’ve been the biggest fool in this whole town But when she is near, I feel ten feet tall Like I don’t have to fear the fall at all [High, tearing rock scream] No, I don’t have to fear the fall! [Guitar Solo: Grungy, distorted solo layered over the heavy acoustic rhythm] [Chorus] [Maximum vocal power, tearing, emotional and loud] Yeah, I’m not the world’s most easy-going guy But my demons quiet down when I catch her eye E-L-E-N-A, Elena Lo-lo-lo-lo-Elena E-L-E-N-A, Elena Lo-lo-lo-lo-Elena [Outro] [Voice breaking, raw emotion, fading into heavy acoustic strums] Elena... She's my Elena... Lo-lo-lo-lo-Elena... [Final sharp, heavy chord ringing out] [End]
