What If Music?

Two times in an hour, I kicked out my power Songs are cutting off midway It had the strange effect of making them seem less than they were to me back in the day Streaming all the old songs got my memory worked up My mind was racing with the grade school phrasing Had to turn it off, and I'm lovin' the silence tonight What if music has no meaning? Yeah, it's kept my heart beatin' But it's let me down and led me astray as many times as it's saved the day 26 to none, waitin' on someone, listening to his favorite song God, I love it too, so it must be true that this silly boy, he is the one Seems like genius, God bless. Fits like my wedding dress My mind was racing with the 90s phrasing Had to turn it off, and I was lovin' the silence that night What if music has no purpose, but to caress us, and then to hurt us? Yeah, it's let me down and led me astray as many times as it's saved the day So, I take the note that keeps repeating and hold it in a straight line And listen to the sounds around me without identifying And for a while it's all clear, and I can see through to the next thing Until a song comes rushing in I went back in time, found music that was mine, went forward and found something new Felt like a new girl, saw differently this world, but it didn't do what it used to do With all my experience, I've lost my innocence It goes on repeat and it won't release me Getting so sick of it, man, just give me the silence tonight What if music has no meaning? Yeah, it's kept my heart beatin' But it's let me down and led me astray as many times as it's saved the day What if you heard a song, fell head over heels in love Told yourself to be strong, and only listen that once? Would you sing to yourself in the car, figure it out on guitar, get sick of it anyway, find Something new to play? Or give in to your musical sins, and listen till you're sick again? It's a matter, not if, but when
