[Intro] [syncopated clean electric guitar riff, driving drums, distorted rhythm guitar enters] [Verse 1] [distorted guitar becomes palm-muted, bass follows kick drum] I burned a CD late that night Changed the order twice Wrote your name across the top, tried to make it look alright Track one couldn't say too much Track two played it safe I buried what I really meant down there at number seven [Pre-Chorus] [guitars open up, building intensity] Six songs saying nothing One I hoped you'd get I didn't write a thing about it, I just put it at seven [Chorus] [full band energy, layered vocal harmonies] You were supposed to hear track seven (track seven) Somewhere halfway through the drive I said I threw that disc together, I've been working on it all night (all night) You were supposed to hear track seven, I kept waiting for you to look I never told you what it meant when number six was done [Instrumental Bridge] [melodic guitar lead riff, driving drum beat] [Verse 2] [palm-muted guitars, bass-heavy mix] You put the CD in your car right before we left I tried to talk about anything and barely caught my breath You laughed through number five Then talked through number six I watched the numbers on the screen waiting for seven to hit I thought you'd turn and look at me when seven started up But you just kept on driving and never looked across [Chorus] [distorted power chords, crashing cymbals] You were supposed to hear track seven (track seven) Somewhere halfway through the drive I said I threw that disc together, I've been working on it all night (all night) You were supposed to hear track seven, I kept waiting for you to look I never told you what it meant when number six was done [Instrumental Bridge] [clean guitar riff returns, bass and drums continue] [Bridge] [half-time feel, guitars drop to light overdrive] I don't know where that CD went I couldn't name the rest I don't even own a player now but I still know number seven I remember sitting there, trying not to stare Waiting for you to notice, pretending I didn't care [Chorus] [full intensity, high-energy drums] You were supposed to hear track seven Maybe you heard it after all Maybe you knew back then Maybe you didn't at all You were supposed to hear track seven, I still think about it now I still don't know what you were thinking when number six ran out [Outro] [distorted guitar chords, final drum fill] Track seven
