Turn It On

[Instrumental]

[Verse 1]
Your name
Still scratched in my old case
Pick slides
Sleeping in the coffee tray
That riff
I wrote you on a Tuesday
Still rings
Every time I hit play

[Chorus]
Turn it up
Let the guitars talk
Let ’em burn through the static of us
Every chord is a spark we struck
Every note is the dust and the rust
I can’t tune you out
I just turn you up
Turn you up
Turn you up

[Verse 2]
Same room
Posters peeling off the paint
New band
But they all feel second-rate
Your laugh
Hidden in the feedback haze
Comes back
When I miss that phase

[Chorus]
Turn it up
Let the guitars talk
Let ’em burn through the static of us
Every chord is a spark we struck
Every note is the dust and the rust
I can’t tune you out
I just turn you up
Turn you up
Turn you up

[Bridge]
[Guitar climbs with melodic lead answering each line]
Bend these strings till they sound like you (oh oh)
Slide through the harm
Let the daylight through
If this is goodbye
I’ll shout it in tune
Let the last big chord crash into the moon

[Chorus]
Turn it up
Let the guitars talk
Let ’em burn through the static of us
Every chord is a spark we struck
Every note is the dust and the rust
I can’t tune you out
I just turn you up
Turn you up
Turn you up (yeah)

[Outro]
[Guitars ring out
One last harmonized lead]
Still here
In the hum after dark
Your ghost
In the grip of my arm
I hold
Every chorus we sparked
One strum
And you’re back in my heart
