[Intro: odd-meter drums, melodic fretless bass] [Verse 1: intimate conversational] There was laughter at the table And a stranger by the wall Everybody knew somebody But nobody knew them at all I caught their eyes across the room And made a little space for two [Pre-Chorus: guitar harmonies ascend] Sometimes belonging starts With someone moving where they are [Chorus: soaring bright harmonies] Pull up another chair There's always room for one more story We don't have to be alike To make each other feel less lonely Let the strange and different colors Paint a picture we can share When the world feels like a closed door Pull up another chair [Break: riddim bass syncopation, explosive toms] [Verse 2: melodic baritone] They had jokes I'd never heard And dreams I'd never thought to chase By the time the night was over We were grateful for that space [Bridge: half-time, warm falsetto doubles] Every friend was once unknown Every family had to grow [Final Chorus: epic harmonized lift] Pull up another chair Let the circle stretch and bend A kinder world is waiting Where the stranger finds a friend [Outro: sustained major chord]
