Three A.M. and the screen is bright
I’m analyzing what you said tonight
You sent a heart, then you took it back
Now I’m pacing 'round my room, fading to black
I got my keyboard set to electric piano
Trying to find the key of your soprano
Are we major? Are we minor? I can’t tell
You got me dizzy like a carousel
You keep me hanging on a suspended fourth
I don’t know if I should go south or north
You’re shifting pitch every time I get close
Is this a symphony or just a ghost?
Oh, I can feel the tension
Between the silence and the things you mention
We’re playing chords that don’t resolve
You’re the only puzzle I can’t solve
Yeah, it’s ambiguous, baby, it’s dangerous
But I kinda like the way you mess with us
Yeah, I like the tension
I hear your footsteps in the beat of the drum
I’m biting my lip until the feeling goes numb
You walk in the room, the frequency changes
Two parallel lines, we’re becoming strangers?
No, wait
You pulled me closer by the waist
I can almost taste the hesitation on your face
You keep me hanging on a suspended fourth
I don’t know if I should go south or north
You’re shifting pitch every time I get close
Is this a symphony or just a ghost?
Oh, I can feel the tension
Between the silence and the things you mention
We’re playing chords that don’t resolve
You’re the only puzzle I can’t solve
Yeah, it’s ambiguous, baby, it’s dangerous
But I kinda like the way you mess with us
Yeah, I like the tension
Don't resolve it yet
Let the dissonance play
I want you to stay
Ooh-whoa...
Oh, I can feel the tension
Between the silence and the things you mention
We’re playing chords that don’t resolve
You’re the only puzzle I can’t solve
Yeah, it’s ambiguous, baby, it’s dangerous
But I kinda like the way you mess with us
Yeah, I like the tension
So ambiguous..."
