Bigger conversation
Loftier explanation
Lost in keeping up
and scrambling for comprehension

Scrapping who we were
cause now is better than ever
And the piano plays
the repeating bridge
Never arriving

Anticipation builds
and builds

and

builds
and



And it never turns over
We were waiting
but we'd never heard the chorus before
and we'd thought we'd recognize it

Sounds so strange to our ears
So far from what we think we'd choose for ourselves
But we just pushed the chords
yet could not feel our fingers

But the crowds clap their hands
filling our heads with applause
and we smile like we meant it
but inwardly
our eyes dance
to the right
to the left
knowing
we can't repeat

And so we are
to them
Something bigger
Something loftier
Capable of keeping up

But to us
But to I
and to me
We're all just scrambling for comprehension
Praying for the ability to encore
