{fading footsteps, electrical ambience,
three-note piano motif} (shhh) {whispered} The door was open The room was
still
Like it had waited
Like it always will {one audible breath} {clean guitar harmonics} One breath
was hanging in the air
Dust in the light,
a vacant chair
The floor remembered every step
The walls held words we never said
I crossed the line and felt it move
The room became the living proof
I hadn’t found another place
I’d only walked around the shape
{sub-bass swells, reversed vocal
fragments}
Every road became a circle
Every lock became a key
Every mile I put behind me Brought the beginning back to me
{breathy vocal doubles, strings rising}
Take me back
Where it all begins again
Where the ending opens up
And the broken pieces bend
Take me back Where the future meets the past If we’re only
moving circles Let this first time be the last
Take me back Take me back Where it all begins again {thunderous
toms, distorted guitars} The glass reflected someone new But every outline pointed
to you A distant voice,
a second late Repeated what I came to say The books were
burned, the ink was gone Still,
I knew where my name belonged The silence reached across the room
And every shadow started moving
{whispered responses, chopped vocals} Every road became a circle
Every lock became a key
Every mile I put behind me Brought the beginning back to me
{string section rising, massive snare cracks}
Take me back
Where it all begins again
Where the ending opens up And the broken pieces bend
Take me back Where the future meets the past If we’re only
moving circles Let this first time be the last
{wall of sound, cathedral choir}
If I know what waits behind you
If I know how this will end
If I recognize the warning Why am I reaching out again?
Because the hurt became a language Because the loss became a map
Because I crossed the whole horizon Just to find where we began
{maximum emotional performance, soaring lead,
double kick}
No ending
No escape
Only the circle
Only the shape One doorway
One breath
One memory
We haven’t lived yet
{guitars and drums drop out,
sub-bass remains, strings decrescendo} Take me back
Where it all begins again
Where the ending opens up
And the broken pieces bend
Take me back Where the future meets the past We were always
moving circles There was never first or last {slow dramatic final hit,
orchestral crash}
One breath
One room
One door
Opening into—
(ahhhh) Take me back— {haunted piano,
guitar harmonics, choir haze,
reversed chop, unresolved dominant tension}
