[Verse 1] At the station out front this morning, my pockets are hollow The note from yesterday faded, slipped off by tomorrow I reach with my fingers for something that isn’t there Still stuck in the folds of the cold in my chest, nowhere The strings keep shaking, but the answer stays thin Like a page torn open right down the middle, skin to skin An unnamed line is sleeping low in my throat I’m heading out to chase it past the edge of town, past the road That missing note — that’s the cue Not with my ears, but with my shoes The shadow of the sign on the crossing stays blue That vanished echo is pulling me through [Pre-Chorus] Where did it go, where did it go Still got a thread, still got a flow Spilled out like sand in a broken sleeve I’ll gather it up and leave [Chorus] Find the sound, find the sound Bring back the note that’s lost and found Find the sound, find the sound Right here in my hands, I’ll hold it down (hold it down) Find the sound, find the sound Let it hum low in my throat, round and round Find the sound, find the sound It won’t stop just because it broke down [Verse 2] An old instrument shop, heavy with dust and old glue Regret in the tryout chair, just waiting for something to do Before I said a word, the owner looked at me Like, “Don’t fold up yet — stay a while, see” Down by the platform below, raindrops tap the rail A pulse off the metal pillars, sharp and pale Somebody’s whistle, somebody’s steps on the stone Tie it all together, make it known Memory mixed in with the noise on the tape That chord from that night still circling the gate Every time I grab one, it sounds way off But the me I thought I’d lost starts to laugh a little soft [Pre-Chorus] Not yet, not yet Don’t let your hands forget Even with the sky split wide There’s still a song inside [Chorus] Find the sound, find the sound Bring back the note that’s lost and found Find the sound, find the sound Right here in my hands, I’ll hold it down (hold it down) Find the sound, find the sound Let it hum low in my throat, round and round Find the sound, find the sound It won’t stop just because it broke down [Bridge] If my hands shake, I’ll keep them moving If my voice cracks, I’ll keep right proving I’ve spent too long on the edge of this hush Staring at nothing, hearing too much So let the whole place fall apart around me I’m still reaching for the piece that found me One note, one breath, one stubborn beat That’s enough to put me back on my feet And if it comes back small, I’ll still take it If it comes back rough, I’ll still name it I’m not walking out of here empty Not this time [Chorus] Find the sound, find the sound Bring back the note that’s lost and found Find the sound, find the sound Right here in my hands, I’ll hold it down (hold it down) Find the sound, find the sound Let it hum low in my throat, round and round Find the sound, find the sound It won’t stop just because it broke down
