lyrics

This guitar hangs 'round my neck like a noose.
I try and break free everytime I cut loose on the strings and play for the muse.
From awkward shapes and twisted lines she begins to speak of the things I have on my mind. I play the fool.

I feel tension mount with every turn of the key, trying to modulate through the changes inside of me.
Fingertips dance on vibrating waves of the strings, but to me you are the sweetest melody.

On this wooden box lined with six cords of steel, I replay the thought of you in melodies that ring in my ear and beat in my heart.
With this bridge that connects my life to yours, we'll weather the changes that come to take us from the shore to the sea.

My life is a song in search of the right key, trying to resolve the voices inside of me.
Home is where you are and that is where I want to be, because to me the sound of your voice is the sweetest melody.
You are the sweetest melody.
