About this song

Thanks to my friend Brent for helping me come up with the idea.

Lyrics

[Intro - A Cappella]
A thought not mine came right in
it sat at the table before I could begin
Static cut before I spoke
and the signal broke through before I ever woke
confirmation of presence
already there before I found the evidence

[Verse 1]
Coffee sat between our hands
it broke the quiet long before I tried to stand
He froze, hands around his cup
he'd known it all along before I brought it up
Night before, he told a friend
one thought had reached them both before the night could end

[Chorus 1]
A thought not mine came right in
it sat at the table before I could begin
Static cut before I spoke
and the signal broke through before I ever woke
confirmation of presence
already there before I found the evidence

[Verse 2]
My hand closed into a fist
something broke just before I felt it in my wrist
A light woke inside my palm
I found the far shoulder before I could stay calm
Static gave way to a song
it knew my story before I could sing along

[Chorus 2]
A thought not mine came right in
it sat at the table before I could begin
Static cut before I spoke
and the signal broke through before I ever woke
this is proof of presence now
and somehow it already knew exactly how

[Bridge]
Hands I never saw before
were already open before I found the door
I came into the same room
and found the power of presence starting to loom

[Final Chorus]
A thought not mine came right in
it sat at the table before I could begin
Static cut before I spoke
and the signal broke through before I ever woke
Nothing here was ever new
it was faithfully present long before I knew

[Outro - Instrumental]
(echoes the intro's motif, no lyric)
