Lyrics
[Intro]
One, two, three, four
[Verse 1]
I love the way it flows
I love the way it grows
There's something in this sound that takes me far
It's like a special song
Can move my mood along
But I cannot say you'll hear through my guitar
[PreChorus]
She told me, "Add a bass line"
And everything'll be alright
She told me that the groove is mine
It will take us through the night
And where I'll go
Can't explain, I'll never know
But it's beautiful
[Verse 2]
You can't take this away from me
The way I hear the melody
The waves bring clarity
Runnin' through me
You can't take this away from me
Oh, the way I hear the melody
The waves bring clarity
Runnin' through me
[Verse 3]
I love the way it sings
All the joy that it brings
Remember skating down the road towards the park?
I can never say no
You with that summer glow
The music gives me sun when winter starts
[PreChorus]
She told me, "Add a bass line"
And everything'll be alright
She told me that the beat is mine
It will rock us through the night
And where I go
Can't explain, I'll never know
But it's beautiful
[Chorus]
You can't take this away from me
Oh, the way I hear the melody
The waves bring clarity
Runnin' through me
You can't take this away from me
Oh, the way I hear the melody
The waves bring clarity
Runnin' through me (Hey)
[Chorus]
You can't take this away from me
The way I hear the melody
The waves bring clarity
Runnin' through me (Come on, y'all)
You can't take this away from me
Oh, the way I hear the melody
The waves bring clarity
Runnin' through me (Yeah, it's runnin' through me)
[Verse 4]
Yo, I wear notes like coats, blues like doos
Warmth in the rhythm, soul that glues
That bounce in my bones, jazz in my spine
The hop is my home, rap is my grind
I'm grindin' on the backside of life, we dance
She threw me a chance, her hands in my pants
Actually, my pockets, holdin' me tight
Whisperin' a dream I could hold in the night
Look tight, a rhythm that's throbbin' my vein
Wake up, then write it on the pad, the pains
Like church, the organ will invite the tears
Like birth, the cryin' lets you know I'm here
Held by the song that gave me a name
Dressed by the verse that gave me a claim
There's just bass in the line, safe to inhale
And if you live well
Be longer years in this state, you will be
A timeless octave to play for the tree
That's rooted in every single nerve in me
The nerve of he who ignores the key
The music that opens the mind to be free
Whenever you're hot-headed, pours you a breeze
Beneath the clouds you allowed to see
In clarity, through harmony
Someone harmin' me? That won't be done
I stand protected by the laws of fun
I am perfected through the rhymes I've run
Walk it this way and leave the party stunned
This music, it launched me with no aim
I've landed on some plane
Where I am, I can't explain
I'll never know, but it's beautiful, so
[Chorus]
You can't take this away from me
Oh, the way I hear the melody
The waves bring clarity
Runnin' through me (Come on, y'all)
You can't take this away from me
Oh, the way I hear the melody
The waves bring clarity
Runnin' through me
