Upbeat · Original lyrics · Fictional voice · Lyrics only
I wrote a chorus on the bus,
The final words refused to land.
I hummed the space between the notes,
And tapped a rhythm with my hand.
Leave the chorus open,
Let another voice come through.
There is room beneath the melody
For a word I never knew.
The driver called the next stop out,
A child repeated it in rhyme.
I missed the place I meant to leave,
But found the line a second time.
Leave the chorus open,
Let the ordinary sing.
Sometimes what you meant to finish
Is the place another thought begins.

Take a moment
What pace or instrument would you imagine for these words?
