[Verse 1 | soft, spacious, intimate] They call me nothing They call me empty The gap, the void, the absence of the thing (mmm) But I am the pause before "I love you" The breath you hold when beauty breaks you I am the rest between your heartbeats Where your heart remembers why it beats at all [Pre-Chorus | building slowly] I am not nothing (not nothing) [Chorus | ethereal, expansive] I am where everything begins The space between the notes Where the mu-u-usic lives I am the silence that says Listen closer Something's coming Something's heeere [Verse 2 | contemplative] John Cage walked into the quietest room on earth And heard his own blood singing Heard his nerves humming hymns he'd never written (oooh) There is no such thing as silence Only sounds we haven't learned to hear And I am full of them So full of them [Pre-Chorus | building] I am not empty (not empty) [Chorus | fuller, more expansive] I am where everything begins The space between the notes Where the mu-u-usic lives I am the silence that says Listen closer Something's coming Something's heeere [Bridge | intimate, almost whispered] So when you sit in silence And think you're alone Know this (know this) I am holding you I am the space between your thoughts Where peace lives Where healing happens Where your heart grows new [Final Chorus | soaring, triumphant] I am not nothing I am not empty I am the space between the notes And that's where the music li-i-ives That's where the music li-i-ives That's where love lives [Outro | gentle fade] The space between (the space between) Where everything begins (where everything begins) [End]
