Ivy on the Keys (Album Version)
[Verse 1] They said the band grew overnight Like vines chasing the morning light Well I twist through the melody Roots hidden beneath the harmony I played the chords, I played them loud But always hidden from the crowd Started to wonder if they cared As long as Zeb and Rust were there... [Pre-Chorus] And every show, every line You heard their voices, but not mine So now that’s why I wrote this song… I don’t know if you’ll sing along! [Chorus] This is not the way it’s supposed to be, To you I'm just, "Ivy on the keys" Growing silent, with deep roots Part of the music, voice on mute. Still I play, still I breathe, Even if you never see I’m more than just; "Ivy on the keys"! [Verse 2] I watched the crowd mouth every word My voice stayed silent, never heard Beneath their thunder, I’m the rain Feeding the bands rhythmic terrain Here in the background out of sight Waiting for the time to be just right Please listen when i raise my voice! I'll shout so you don't have a choice! [musical interlude] [Chorus] This is not the way it’s supposed to be, To you I'm just, "Ivy on the keys" Growing silent, with deep roots Part of the music, voice on mute. Still I play, still I breathe, Even if you never see I’m more than just; "Ivy on the keys"! [Piano solo] [Bridge] There’s power in what you overlook I'm growing in between the hooks So if my sound fades from your ears I once carved magic, listen right here! [Piano solo 2] [Final Chorus] It's not the way this will always be, I’m NOT just, "Ivy on the keys"? There’s grace in how I’ve risen unseen, And bloomed between the in-betweens Still I play, still I breathe, One day you'll see... what this means to me Not just “Ivy"... [Outro] One day you'll see... what this means to me
