lyrics

you
are feeling blue
and I know
because i'm feeling it to

I
feel so afraid
of letting you know
and of letting you go

in theory
the answer's always clear
but now we've got big intervals
the next chord feels so far away from here
your note
is different from mine
and that's fine
we've each got our parts
but we
we can still sing
sing our notes together
let our hearts ring

well maybe right now you and I
we feel like secondary dominants
our tensions are so prominent
hey, but where do we resolve
so baby tell me why
if we both have a choice
how to lead our voice
this progression is ours to solve
let not devolve

sometimes
a song can make us sad
make us feel angry blue or mad
sometimes we want to turn the record off (don't lose faith)
but when the harmony is right
we can sing along all night
when we know our parts, our hearts are warm and soft

you aren't secondary to me
it's easy to see
you're the one
my love
you are the root, you're my home key
if we modulate, you'll still be the one
my love

talvez agora voce e eu
cinto como dominantes secundarios
nosso movimento e ambiguous
nosso relacionmento nao e claro
ha uma manera
se ficarmos no tecla
podemos faze um musica
podemos encontrar amor
that's what partners are for

sometimes
that song we used to share
isn't playing anywhere
and it feels that the song is gone for good
but we can make a song that's new
that fits both our voices too
and when we sing the words, we'll both feel understood

you aren't a secondary to me
yeah it's easy to see
you're the one
you're my love
you are the root your'e my home key
and if we modulate you'll still be the one
my love
you're the one
oh you're my love, yeah
you're my one
joana, you're my love
you aren't a secondary to me
it's so easy to see
you're the one
you're my love
you're my love
you're my love
you're my love
