Backseat And Strings

Lyrics

[Intro] (Soft violin swell) (Gentle acoustic guitar strums with a distant woodwind whisper) [Verse 1] Midnight driving, rain on the windshield glass Chasing down the ghosts of a broken past Used to think the winter would never end Staring at the letters that I never send But the violin is crying in the space between Every single nightmare and a faded dream I was heavy in the chest, couldn't find my breath Struggling with the shadows that were left Now the electric guitar starts to warm the room Like a sudden blossom in the deepest gloom And the bassline drops, hitting in my chest Telling me it's time to put the grief to rest [Chorus] Oh, the strings they play a sad song, but I feel the light Washed away the sorrow in the middle of the night With the heavy bass rolling and the woodwinds high I can see a clear path underneath the sky Yeah, it's sad, but it's hopeful Underneath the sky, yeah, we're hopeful [Verse 2] 2010 feelings with a modern beat Walking through the cold on a empty street Had a lot of baggage that I had to drop But the momentum moving and it's hard to stop Hear the flute and the oboe start to intertwine Weaving through the bassline, everything is fine Got the drums knocking, crisp and clean Finest instrumental that you've ever seen Electric chords ringing with a touch of grit Finding my resolve, every piece of it Yeah, the struggle made me, but it won't break me Look at where I'm standing, where the music takes me [Chorus] Oh, the strings they play a sad song, but I feel the light Washed away the sorrow in the middle of the night With the heavy bass rolling and the woodwinds high I can see a clear path underneath the sky Yeah, it's sad, but it's hopeful Underneath the sky, yeah, we're hopeful [Guitar Solo] (Melancholic yet soaring electric guitar solo, soaring over rich violin section) (Woodwind flourishes weaving in and out) [Bridge] Underneath the weight, there's a spark that grows How the story ends, only heaven knows But the woodwind orchestra is lifting me To a place of peace where I can finally see Bass vibrating, shaking up the floor I don't have to carry all the pain no more [Chorus] Oh, the strings they play a sad song, but I feel the light Washed away the sorrow in the middle of the night With the heavy bass rolling and the woodwinds high I can see a clear path underneath the sky Yeah, it's sad, but it's hopeful Underneath the sky, yeah, we're hopeful [Outro] (Bass fades out slowly) (Violins and woodwinds carry the final chord) (A single hopeful guitar note ringing out) [End]
