Acapella
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I was walking, was living
My melody was acapella
There's a beat I was missing
No tune, or a scale, I could play
-
The sound in the distance
No orchestra playing together
Like a boat out to sea,
The silence was too deafening!
-
So come and revive me
I can't feel my heartbeat
Just me surviving alone
-
(Chorus)
Before you,
My whole life was acapella!
Now a symphony's
The only song to sing
Before you,
My whole life was acapella!
Now a symphony's
The only song to sing
-
Everything was the same
One color was just like the others
An assembly routine
My memories were all black and white
Till I stopped over-thinking
Decided to draw back the curtains
And I cleared all the cobwebs
And began to let in the light
-
So come and revive me
I can't feel my heartbeat
Just me surviving alone
-
(Chorus)
Before you,
My whole life was acapella!
Now a symphony's
The only song to sing
Before you,
My whole life was acapella!
Now a symphony's
The only song to sing
-
(Bridge - 3X)
You are the drum in my heart beat
Bass and guitar lead
Stuck on the notes you play
My heart that you play on
Grab like a crayon
I can't walk away
-
(Chorus - 2X)
Before you,
My whole life was acapella!
Now a symphony's
The only song to sing
Before you,
My whole life was acapella!
Now a symphony's
The only song to sing
