Skyline in 7/8

[Verse 1]

Coffee on the counter

Charts spread over chairs

You tap that odd-time rhythm

Till the neighbors stare

[Verse 2]

Looping through the changes

Head stuck in the groove

Every little phrase you chase

Teaches my doubt to move

[Pre-Chorus]

We’ve been counting out loud

Five, six, seven through the night

All these crooked little measures

Folding into something right

[Chorus]

Sing it like a skyline in 7/8

Broken but it still feels straight

All our wrong turns lock in place

When your voice lands on the one

Spin me like a record we can’t break

Every scar a sweet mistake

Hear our chaos resonate

Till the whole world hums along

[Bridge]

You ask, “Will they ever get it?

Will anyone care how it swings?”

I say, “Turn up that chorus

Let the heart do the counting”

[Chorus]

Sing it like a skyline in 7/8

Broken but it still feels straight

All our wrong turns lock in place

When your voice lands on the one

Spin me like a record we can’t break

Every scar a sweet mistake

Hear our chaos resonate

Till the whole world hums along
