[Intro: wandering piano, offbeat clicks] (do-mi-sol... no-no) [Syncopated bass enters] [Verse 1: lilting melodic rap] I've written something beautiful in C A melody that sounds just like me Every chord belongs exactly where it lands Still I dream of songs beyond my hands (ah-ah, unresolved) [Pre-Chorus: rising stacked thirds] A hundred keys beneath my fingers A thousand songs that never linger [Chorus: soaring falsetto, piano runs] I'm in love with the song I'm singing But another melody keeps ringing Every note I never play Becomes a ghost that won't decay (oh-oh-oh, sing it!) How can I call this music mine When I hear another all the time? [Drop: chopped solfege, elastic 808] (do-do, re-re, mi-ah!) (bmm-tss-ka, bmm-tss-ka) [Bridge: key change, delicate duet] (Play what you love) I always do (Then why the ache?) There's more that's true I know one song can fill a room But not the whole world I imagine [Outro: suspended piano chord] One beautiful song... So many silent keys.
