Program folded twice inside my palm Seat eleven Lights went down before I said a word Somebody else went first Said the thing I'd never said out loud I wasn't ready for it to land like that Words I didn't know I needed Something moved before I noticed Now I can't sit still It reached the back row Every seat, every soul Something someone said in there Wouldn't let me go Just a stranger with a mic And a room that leaned in close It reached the back row And it's still reaching now Wrote it down before I lost the nerve Sent an email I'd been sitting on for years Told my sister what I actually meant Small thing, but it started here I wasn't ready for it to land like that Words I didn't know I needed Something moved and kept on moving Now I can't sit still It reached the back row (oh) Every seat, every soul Passed from row to row like breath Wouldn't let me go Just a stranger with a mic Turned a stranger into proof It reached the back row And now I'm reaching too Not a stage trick, just a stranger and a mic Somewhere in the dark I found my own reply I didn't plan on changing my mind But that's exactly what it did It reached the back row (we felt it) Every seat, every soul Nothing rehearsed, nothing staged Wouldn't let me go Just a stranger with a mic Left the building in all of us It reached the back row And now I'm reaching too Now I'm reaching too Reaching too Found the room Reaching
