Strange Overtones

I wake up every morning
I hear your feet on the stairs
You're in the next apartment
I hear you singing over there

This groove is out of fashion
These beats are 20 years old
I saw you lend a hand to
The ones out standing in the cold

Strange overtones
In the music you are playing
I'll harmonize
It is strong and you are tough
But a heart is not enough

Put on your socks and mittens
It's getting colder tonight
A snowball in my kitchen
I watched it melt before my eyes

My song still needs a chorus
I know you'll figure it out
The rising of the verses
A change of key will let you out

Strange overtones
Though they're slightly out of fashion
I'll harmonize
See the music in your face
That your words cannot explain

Strange overtones
In the music you are playing
We're not alone
It is strong and you are tough
But a heart is not enough

Strange overtones
In the music you are playing
I'll harmonize
It is strong and you are tough
But a heart is not enough
