He wrote these songs alone, but they don't belong to him anymore. There's a woman crying in the third row. A kid on his daddy's shoulders screaming every word. A man who came alone because he needed to be heard. When ten thousand strangers find the same note at the same time, something holy happens — and it isn't his. It's theirs. Tomorrow they'll go back to being strangers. But right now, they're the same.
Lyrics
[Intro] [Spoken] I wrote these songs alone. But they don't belong to me anymore. [Verse 1] I can see your faces from the stage tonight Every one of you is carrying something into this room And I don't know your names but I know why you're here You came to feel something louder than the silence in your life I've got a guitar and a voice that's barely holding on But between the two of us I think we've got enough to build a song [Chorus] So sing it back to me Every word you know I wrote it in the dark But you're the ones who made it glow This was never mine alone It was always yours to keep So open up and let it out And sing it back to me [Verse 2] There's a woman in the third row crying and she's not ashamed There's a kid up on his daddy's shoulders screaming every word There's a couple in the back who just got back together And a man who came alone because he needed to be heard I don't know their stories but I feel 'em through the floor Every single heartbeat in this room just makes the music more [Chorus] So sing it back to me Every word you know I wrote it in the dark But you're the ones who made it glow This was never mine alone It was always yours to keep So open up and let it out And sing it back to me [Bridge] I used to think the best part was the playing Now I know the best part is the listening When ten thousand strangers find the same note at the same time Something holy happens and it isn't mine It's ours — just for a minute — just for tonight And tomorrow we'll go back to being strangers But right now we're the same Right now we're the same [Chorus] So sing it back to me Everything you've got I wrote it on a highway But you gave it what I'm not This was never mine alone It was always meant to breathe So fill this room with everything you're feeling And sing it back to me [Outro] Sing it back to me Sing it back to me [Spoken] Yeah. That's the part I can't write. That's the part you bring.
