Midnight Brass

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I came in quiet Same face, same pace Two ice cubes melting In a glass by the sink You read my eyes Like a folded note I kept my hands still Kept my voice on one line [Pre-Chorus] But your name got close And the room got small That silver horn Started calling through the wall I held it down Held it down again Then you looked my way And I let it in [Chorus] Blow up, saxophone (blow up) Right through my bones (right through my bones) Blow up, saxophone (blow up) Take me home I stay the same But I feel that flame Blow up, saxophone Say my name [Verse 2] Neon on the window Rain on the glass Your perfume drifted Past the edge of my plan I spoke so slow You barely caught the words Still my chest kept moving Like a bird in a cage [Pre-Chorus] But your name got close And the room got small That silver horn Started calling through the wall I held it down Held it down again Then you looked my way And I let it in [Chorus] Blow up, saxophone (blow up) Right through my bones (right through my bones) Blow up, saxophone (blow up) Take me home I stay the same But I feel that flame Blow up, saxophone Say my name [Bridge] [Instrumental sax solo] One long cry Then a sharper break Notes run wild Like a gate that shakes I keep my face calm Keep my voice low But that horn climbs higher Then it won't let go [Final Chorus] Blow up, saxophone (blow up) Right through my bones (right through my bones) Blow up, saxophone (blow up) Take me home I stay the same But I feel that flame Blow up, saxophone Say my name [Outro] Same tone Same tone Till the horn comes on (blow up)
