Middle of a Melody

[Verse 1] You came in talking low, still wearing your workday face I found a chord that gave the whole room a little space The bass player caught my eye, the drummer settled in And every scattered conversation found a place to begin [Pre-Chorus] I sang the line i couldn’t say alone You gave it back like you had always known [Chorus] We meet here in the middle of a melody Your voice beside my voice, as close as we can be No one has to carry every feeling on their own For a little while, this room becomes a home We meet here in the middle of a melody [Verse 2] A woman near the back kept time against her sleeve A couple by the doorway stayed long past when they meant to leave The waiter paused mid-step when the old refrain came round Then the whole small room was singing, not a stranger to be found [Pre-Chorus] I gave the tune away, it came back strong A hundred different lives inside one song [Chorus] We meet here in the middle of a melody Your voice beside my voice, as close as we can be No one has to carry every feeling on their own For a little while, this room becomes a home We meet here in the middle of a melody [Bridge] When the last note fades, the spell won’t disappear You’ll take a little piece of everyone from here And i’ll remember how the quiet turned to song The room was small, but we were never singing alone [Final chorus] We meet here in the middle of a melody Your voice beside my voice, as close as we can be No one has to carry every feeling on their own For a little while, this room becomes a home We meet here in the middle of a melody [Outro] Stay for one more line, stay for one more harmony We meet here in the middle of a melody
