When the Section Hits

[Verse 1] You came in like a mute off the stand still wet from the side-street rain you set your case down careful like a secret and the whole damn room leaned into you [Pre-Chorus] No speech, no speech, just that first little sting (yeah) valve click, breath, then the thing [Chorus] When the section hits I forget my line a bright line finishes the sentence I could not find gold cuts a ribbon through the cheap red wine BLOW it open, leave the air a different kind When the section hits I forget my line [Verse 2] You played like you were arguing with God polite about it, almost kind I clapped on one because I did not know better and learned the count the hard way from you [Pre-Chorus] No speech, no speech, just that same old sting (yeah) valve click, breath, then it lands [Chorus] When the section hits I forget my line the room goes quiet then it opens wide gold climbs higher, I stop counting time BLOW it open, we are living on the tide When the section hits I forget my line [Interlude | Scat Break] [Bridge] I used to think a room was just a room four walls, bad light, a clock that lied then you packed it tight against the doorway and taught the night it could divide if you never play that phrase again I will still hear it in my hands [Final Chorus] When the section hits when the section HITS I forget my line
