Lyrics

Louder Than Your Thoughts

[Verse 1]
You keep your secrets
Like books on a shelf
Turn down the volume
And turn on yourself
Tiny old worries
Whisper they’re right
Then suddenly they’re shouting
In the middle of the night

[Pre-Chorus]
But there’s a dial on the day
You can spin it, you can sway
Pick a better station
For your brain

[Chorus]
The trick is to play your music louder than your thoughts
Drown out the doubts with every bright brass shot
Let a good groove argue for you
Till the shadows get out-voted (oh yeah)
The trick is to play your music louder than your thoughts
Let joy be the headline, worries just the footnote
Turn it up, up, up
Let the loudest, strongest input win

[Verse 2]
You read those headlines
Like they’re carved in stone
Scroll through the thunder
You call it your phone
But somewhere a melody
Taps on the door
Snap of your fingers
Feet already on the floor

[Pre-Chorus]
You’re the DJ of your day
Change the channel, flip the frame
Give the trumpet to the courage
In your chest

[Chorus]
The trick is to play your music louder than your thoughts
Drown out the doubts with every bright brass shot
Let a good groove argue for you
Till the shadows get out-voted (hey!)
The trick is to play your music louder than your thoughts
Let joy be the headline, worries just the footnote
Turn it up, up, up
Let the loudest, strongest input win

[Bridge]
Sing along with something kinder
Let it ring out, let it rise
Every measure, every line
Re-writing your replies
If your fear starts humming harmony
Just modulate again
Give the melody to hope
And let it lead the band (oh yeah)

[Chorus]
The trick is to play your music louder than your thoughts
Drown out the doubts with every bright brass shot
Let a good groove argue for you
Till the shadows get out-voted
The trick is to play your music louder than your thoughts
Let joy be the headline, worries just the footnote
Turn it up, up, up
Let the loudest, strongest input win
Turn it up, up, up
Let the loudest, kindest input win
