[INTRO - Bright 12-string guitar intro, jangly and melodic, infectious beat] ... ... ... [Verse 1] I found a note from seven summers back Before our train ran completely off the track We used to listen to the records spin Now I don't know where to begin (whaoo-whaoo-whaaa) [Pre-Chorus] [Bass guitar drives forward] And the words get heavy in the air We look right past like we're not even there (oooo) [Chorus - catchy, singalong hook] [Lush 3-part vocal harmonies] I’m reading between the lines again Trying to find out where the stories end We build a wall out of the things we hide Two different worlds on the exact same inside (Oh yeah) [Refrain] [Upbeat rhythm, melodic backing vocals] Yeah, we talk and we talk, but we don't say a thing Just waiting to see what the silence will bring Oh, reading between the lines (ooaaa ooaaa) [Verse 2] The old cassette is wearing thin and low Just like the signal that we used to know We let the static take the place of youth And traded honesty for halfway truth (whaoo-whaoo-whaaa) [Pre-Chorus] [Bass guitar drives forward] And the words get heavy in the air We look right past like we're not even there (oooo) [Chorus] [Lush 3-part vocal harmonies] I’m reading between the lines again Trying to find out where the stories end We build a wall out of the things we hide Two different worlds on the exact same inside (Oh yeah) [Refrain] [Upbeat rhythm, melodic backing vocals] Yeah, we talk and we talk, but we don't say a thing Just waiting to see what the silence will bring Oh, reading between the lines (ooaaa ooaaa) [Bridge] [Music strips back to acoustic guitar and vocals] If I could tune into your frequency Would you be listening to me? [Guitar Solo] [Melodic, fuzzed-out 12-string guitar solo, nostalgic and soaring] ... ... ... ... [Chorus] [Lush 3-part vocal harmonies, maximum energy] I’m reading between the lines again Trying to find out where the stories end We build a wall out of the things we hide Two different worlds on the exact same inside [Refrain / Outro] [Overlapping vocal harmonies] Yeah, we talk and we talk, but we don't say a thing Just waiting to see what the silence will bring Oh, reading between the lines Yeah, reading between the lines Yeah, reading between the lines Yeah, reading between the lines [Guitar feedback fades out on a ringing, nostalgic G-major chord] Yeah, reading between the lines ... ... [End]
