Where the Groove Bends

Tekst utworu

[Intro] Count it in, leave the door wide open One small phrase and the room starts turning [Verse 1] Mara brings a paperback full of chord changes Taps her pencil twice against the stand Jon keeps time with a heel on the carpet Then a low note rolls across the floor like thunder [Pre-Chorus] No one owns the moment No one knows the plan A glance across the circle Says, "Take it if you can" [Chorus] Meet me where the groove bends sideways Bring the line you found today Trade four measures, trade a secret Let the whole room have its say When the last chord hangs suspended We will laugh and start again Nothing written, nothing wasted That is how the night begins [Verse 2] The coffee has gone cold by the second set A brass case leans beside the fan Someone finds a melody in the mistake And everybody follows where it lands [Pre-Chorus] No one owns the moment No one knows the plan A glance across the circle Says, "Take it if you can" [Chorus] Meet me where the groove bends sideways Bring the line you found today Trade four measures, trade a secret Let the whole room have its say When the last chord hangs suspended We will laugh and start again Nothing written, nothing wasted That is how the night begins [Bridge] Mara turns the corner, Jon answers from the backbeat Copper-colored chords rise up and disappear Bass walks through the question, drums reply in triplets Every wrong turn somehow brings us here [Instrumental] [Final Chorus] Meet me where the groove bends sideways Bring the line you found today Trade four measures, trade a secret Let the whole room have its say When the last chord hangs suspended We will laugh and start again Nothing written, nothing wasted That is how the night begins [Outro] One last figure, let it breathe Leave a little room between Pack the cases, mark the page Same four walls, a brand-new stage
