[Intro] [Heart] All right. This one's got four changes. I'll show you where— [Band starts before him] [Heart] ... Oh. [Crowd laughs] Fine. Apparently nobody needs me anymore. [Acoustic guitar joins] [Verse 1] He drew it once on a paper napkin Coffee ring right through the middle Couple lines Couple arrows Whole thing looked a little ridiculous Only one who knew the meaning Only one who knew the scale Had to point at every corner Tell 'em where the walls would nail Years went by More hands came More rooms rose around the frame Then one morning someone asked, "Where's the plan?" I said, "Right there." They said, "No— the one inside your head." [Pre-Chorus] That's when I knew something had changed The drawing left my hands And learned its own name [Chorus] Nobody needs me to read the blueprint now [Crowd] BUILD STRAIGHT OFF THE WALL! [Heart] Nobody needs me to point the whole thing out [Crowd] BUILD STRAIGHT OFF THE WALL! [Heart] They know where the beams go They know where to start Funny thing about a good plan— One day it stops needing your heart [Verse 2] Spent years being necessary Thought that proved the thing was mine Every question came through me Every answer took my time Then somebody new walked in Never sat through one old meeting Looked at what we'd built so far And somehow knew the meaning That stung. I'm not gonna lie. [Crowd murmurs] Tiny little bruise to the pride. Then I watched 'em add a doorway I never would've tried And it worked. [Pre-Chorus] Sometimes ownership is holding tight Sometimes ownership is knowing when to step aside [Chorus] Nobody needs me to read the blueprint now [Crowd] BUILD STRAIGHT OFF THE WALL! [Heart] Nobody needs me to point the whole thing out [Crowd] BUILD STRAIGHT OFF THE WALL! [Heart] They know where the beams go They know where to start Funny thing about a good plan— One day it stops needing your heart [Break] [Heart] Keep going. [Band continues] No, seriously. I'm getting a drink. [Crowd laughs] [Heart steps away from mic] [Band keeps groove perfectly] [Crowd begins chorus without him] BUILD STRAIGHT OFF THE WALL! BUILD STRAIGHT OFF THE WALL! [Heart, away from mic] Well, I'll be damned. [Bridge] [Heart returns, quieter] Still got the first one. Folded up. Soft at the corners. Coffee stain still there. Nobody's looked at it in years. They don't need to. That little napkin already did its job. [Band keeps playing] And maybe that's the strangest part— The plan didn't disappear. It became walls. [Final Chorus] [Heart] Nobody needs me to read the blueprint now [Crowd] BUILD STRAIGHT OFF THE WALL! [Heart] Nobody needs me to hold the whole thing down [Crowd] BUILD STRAIGHT OFF THE WALL! [Heart] They've got hands They've got eyes They've got rooms I never saw And I thought being needed was the proof I built it right— Turns out— [Crowd] IT STANDS WHEN YOU LET GO! [Heart stops] ... Say that again. [Crowd] IT STANDS WHEN YOU LET GO! [Heart] Yeah. That's better. [Outro] [Heart] Still got the napkin. Still got the frame. Still got my name. [Looks at band] Just don't need it on every wall anymore.
