[Verse 1] No rehearsal today Tomorrow it’s for real Full band in the cine-theatre Red seats Cold steel Second chance at this restart Still a little unbalanced Yeah New year at the doorway And we’re tuning up the air [Pre-Chorus] Pages on the music stand shaking But my hands feel steady now If I miss a note I’ll fake it Heart knows what the charts leave out [Chorus] Who cares about the drama? Let’s chase the magic formula Polyphonic choir with the orchestra Something made to lift us higher You’ve got your music I’ve got mine But it all collides in time Let’s let the music play Every day Every day [Verse 2] Dust on the old stage floor Footsteps tracing crooked lines We’re laughing at the chaos Calling it a grand design Black ties Bright nerves Silence just before we start Conductor lifts a finger And it rewires every heart [Pre-Chorus] All the wrong notes All the right friends All the nights we almost quit Pour it in this solemn concert Every fear We’re scoring it [Chorus] [Bridge] [low vocal register] Lights down low Hear the breath before the sound We’re not perfect But we’re loud [crescendo] Let the trumpets cut the shadows Let the choir shake the hall If this is how the year begins Let it rise Let it fall [Chorus]
