There's a melody inside my head I've heard before But I haven't heard it — that's the thing I can't ignore Eight bars of something urgent, key of A, tempo I know Fingers on the frets before my brain can tell them where to go I didn't write this I don't know where this comes from I didn't write this But it's in my mouth already Familiar stranger in the frequency Living in a song I didn't write Familiar stranger singing back at me Something between memory and sight Who are you? Where are you from? Why do I know your melody?

Where are you from? Why do I know your melody? Familiar stranger — you are already Already already home in me It's like a name you almost remember It's like a face behind the mirror It's like the word for something that doesn't have a word yet But you know it when you feel it Familiar stranger, I hear you Familiar stranger, I'll meet you Somewhere in the frequency Somewhere between what is and what will be
