Sunlit Strings

(ooh,

mm) {acoustic guitar picking,

delicate and soft} I found the notes you left behind

Scrawled in pencil, hard to find

Folding corners of the page

Trying to act our actual age

{warm acoustic strumming, subtle shaker

starts} And I know we both got lost in translation Trying to

build a perfect foundation {rhythm builds,

subtle piano chords enter}

But we were

holding onto cardboard frames

Writing down our heavy names

Wondering if the wood would burn

Or if we'd ever learn to turn {full acoustic band feel,

acoustic guitar strumming hard,

brushed snare} Now the kitchen's quiet and cold

Stories that we never told

Spilling out like morning tea

Who we were and who we'll be

{quieter arrangement,

piano and single guitar picking} We were

holding onto cardboard frames

Writing down our heavy names

Wondering if the wood would burn

Or if we'd ever learn to turn

{high-energy acoustic return, full brushed drums,

lush backing

vocals} Ever learn to turn (mm-mm)

{acoustic guitar fading to single notes,

ambient decay}
