[Verse 1] There’s a space between the notes, There’s a place behind your eyes, There’s a tempo in your soul, There’s a rhythm in the night. There’s a beat beneath the silence, There’s a language without words, And when you find the way to play it, Every little note gets heard. [Verse 2] Like a warm body, babe, Like a piano sonata, Like a full moon hanging low, Like a tree heavy with fruit. Like the sweetness in the summer, Like the rain against the roof, There’s a rhythm when you’re near me, And my body knows the truth. [Chorus] There’s a key you gotta play, Like a violin, babe, Draw the music out of me, Slow and sweet that way. Like the taste of honeydew, Like an old guitar in tune, Find the rhythm, find the feeling, And let the music move. [Verse 3] Like the summer sun, babe, Like a distant whale song, Like the wet, wet waves, babe, Rolling all night long. Like the pull of that full moon, Moving oceans with its light, There’s a tide between two people When the timing feels just right. [Chorus] There’s a key you gotta play, Like a violin, babe, Draw the music out of me, Slow and sweet that way. Like the taste of honeydew, Like an old guitar in tune, Find the rhythm, find the feeling, And let the music move. [Verse 4] Like a slow breath, babe, Like a lazy river, Like a baby sleeping sound, Like a soft and steady shiver. Like a snake that moves in silence, Like a breeze across my skin, Don’t be rushing toward the ending— Let the melody begin. [Final Chorus] So strum my strings like that, One more time. Find the place between the notes, Read the rhythm, read the signs. Let me feel that music Rolling over all my skin. Play me slow, Play me close, Play me like a violin. Yeah, play me slow, Play me close, Like a violin.
