{intimate
fingerpicked
clean electric
guitar intro, bittersweet progression}
Silent room, the dust begins to fall
Empty frames upon the bedroom wall
(humm) {soft rhythm section enters} But I still feel the static in
the air
As if
you're standing there {guitars swell,
switch to light overdrive,
build-up} Let the rain wash away
the history
Let the embers fade to grey
Every promise was a mystery
That we threw away
{huge wall of overdriven guitars,
crashing cymbals} Tracing lines we drew in summer sand
Trying hard to reach your phantom hand {subdued but driving
groove, clean guitar rhythm}
And I still feel the static in the air
Like you're standing there
{guitars swell, snare build}
Let the rain
wash away
the history
Let the embers fade to grey
Every promise was a mystery
That we threw away
{huge walls of guitar,
powerful rhythm} {expressive
soaring lead guitar solo,
bending notes, emotional vibrato}
We threw it all away...
{guitar fades to fingerpicking,
quiet
ending}
