Verse 1 - soft, picked acoustic)

I got a six-string key and a lock that's made of sound

It's the only place I know where the lost can still be found

I trace the chords like pavement back to a summer night

When the air was thick with fireflies and your bark was my spotlight

(Chorus)

I'm just a kid with a broken heart and a reverb pedal

Chasin' the ghost of my old best friend through the metal

The room gets quiet, the walls disappear

I swear I can feel you, I can hear you so clear

(Bridge - emotional peak)

My grandma's there, heaven-sent

She pats his head, she knows his name

They play the same eternal game

She lost her life — he lost his years

But music dries the saddest tears

(Verse 2 - softer, intimate)
