The Attic
Copyright 6/2023 by R. Dreskin-Evans

VERSE #1
I remember the smell of the warm night air - as it tangled my dreams & my hair.
Face ached from the goofy grin. The moonlight made my heart & my head spin.
Two rivers cooled the blood in my veins, still hot from the months of heartache.
Regretting I came. Hiding my pain. Climb the stair – no clue what I’d find there.

PRE-CHORUS #1
Sunburned thighs, summer skies – They told the story of our lives.
Wounded hearts, found fresh starts. That summer left its mark.

CHORUS #1
Oooooooh… Remember those nights in the attic?
Glittering light from the holes in the roof - we danced withe nothin’ to lose
Oooooooh… surrounded by music and magic.
Everyone just wants a place to belong and we - found – ours … in the attic.

VERSE #2
The music we made in the dust & dark softened the scars on our hearts.
We didn’t know then - it was the start of the end.
We didn’t know it would be legendary.
Up the stairs, into the air – floating into the sweet atmosphere.
Getting older was a little less scary, in the arms of our sanctuary.

PRE-CHORUS #2
Sunburned thighs, summer skies – They told the story of our lives.
Wounded hearts, found fresh starts. That summer left its mark.

CHORUS #2
Oooooooh… Remember those nights in the attic?
Glittering light from the holes in the roof - we danced with nothin’ to lose
Oooooooh… surrounded by music and magic.
Everyone just wants a place to belong and we - found – ours… in the attic.

BRIDGE
Ooohs
… in the attic
How can I work today when all I want to do is sing & play?
All my best laid plans withered softly away when I saw your smiling face.
As I danced in your doorway, the sun slipped away – a sweet little death to the heat of the day.
You watched with eyes that begged me to stay, but the words never found their way…

PRE-CHORUS (final)
Dirty hands, windswept tans – they shined so pure back then.
We never wanted that summer to end.


CHORUS #3
Oooooooh… Remember those nights in the attic?
Glittering light from the holes in the roof - we danced with nothin’ to lose
Oooooooh… surrounded by music and magic.
Everyone just wants a place to belong and we - found – ours…

CHOURS END
Oooooooh… It was ours - Our time, our place, our attic.
Glittering lights, hot August nights, the frenzy & passion of being alive –
Oooooooh… we were surrounded by music and magic.
Dusty keys & broken dreams – they didn’t mean a thing… in the attic…
They didn’t mean a thing.
Never again will we belong like that – No.
