Life in Three Part Harmony

Lights go down
Shadows, take the stage
The room waits

As the first notes played
Adrenaline pulsates
And a thousand strangers
Become friends
As they realise, what song it is

And I'm watching you, watching them
As your face lights up, with every inflection
And as you sing along to every word
Your heart, beats, to their rhythm
And you've never looked so beautiful
Music is the dialect of your soul

Spirits rise, walls fall
Between young and old,
Every major or minor chord played and word sung
A communal state, a temporary escape
As all walks of life, become one
And looking at you is like looking at my reflection

And I'm watching you, watching them
As your face lights up, with every inflection
And as you sing along to every word
Your heart, beats, to their rhythm
And you've never looked so beautiful
Music is the dialect of your soul
The dialect of your soul

And when I get home you'll go to sleep in my old band T-shirt
The one I bought when I was fifteen and angry at the world
And I never thought I'd find someone who understood
But we've got these memories that say that I could
And I can't think of anywhere else in the world I'd rather be
Than in the front row, of a sold-out show, in your company
Singing back to the sounds of the songs that saved me
My life's perfect, perfect, perfect, three-part harmony

And I'm watching you, watching them
As your face lights up, with every inflection
And as you sing along to every word
Your heart, beats, to their rhythm
And you've never looked so beautiful
Music is the dialect of your soul

And I'm watching you, watching them
(Music is the dialect of your soul)
As your face lights up with every inflection
(Music is the dialect of your soul)
And I'm watching you, watching them
