Both Feet in Rome

pop
theme
upright bass
brushed snare
Old-fashioned folk with warm acoustic strum
and a loose porch-swing groove; verse stays sparse and conversational
pre-chorus lifts with handclaps and a humming harmony
chorus opens into gang-style unison on the refrain
bridge drops to fingerpicked guitar and one close-mic voice before the final chorus returns fuller. Intimate
dusty mix with room tone
tape warmth
and a few soft whistled turns between lines.

Paroles
[Verse 1]
Well, the folding chairs are lined up neat
And the case is set in front of me
You came in sharp with a paper plan
And I came in slow with an open hand
You say the split runs deep as stone
I say look close, it’s not that grown
A bruised-up house still stands the wind
If both feet stay, it can mend again
[Pre-Chorus]
So before you call it all undone
Hear me out beneath the sun
There’s a crack, yes, I won’t deny
But cracks don’t mean the roots all die
[Chorus]
Keep both feet in Rome
Keep both feet in Rome
Even when your heart feel torn
She might be bruised but never broken
Keep both feet in Rome
Keep both feet in Rome
(keep both feet in Rome)
[Verse 2]
There’s history in the hallway paint
Old vows don’t fade, they just look faint
And every family has its strain
Still shares one table through the rain
So I’m playing this friend-of-the-fight
Not to pretend it feels all right
Just saying don’t walk off too soon
When morning’s still the same old room
[Pre-Chorus]
So before the gavel comes down hard
Before the lines get fenced and scarred
If love is more than what we prove
Then maybe this is hard to lose
[Chorus]
Keep both feet in Rome
Keep both feet in Rome
Even when your heart feel torn
She might be bruised but never broken
Keep both feet in Rome
Keep both feet in Rome
(keep both feet in Rome)
[Bridge]
I know, I know, the aches are real
The wound can make the whole thing feel
Like every door should slam and close
Like no one knows what mercy knows
But I’ve seen a candle in the glass
Still burning when the storm rolled past
And if the road is rough and long
Sometimes staying is the stronger song
[Final Chorus]
Keep both feet in Rome
Keep both feet in Rome
Even when your heart feel torn
She might be bruised but never broken
Keep both feet in Rome
Keep both feet in Rome
(keep both feet in Rome)
Well, the folding chairs are lined up neat
And the case is set in front of me

And I came in slow with an open hand

A bruised-up house still stands the wind
If both feet stay, it can mend again
[Pre-Chorus]
So before you call it all undone
Hear me out beneath the sun
There’s a crack, yes, I won’t deny
But cracks don’t mean the roots all die
[Chorus]
Keep both feet in Rome
Keep both feet in Rome
Even when your heart feel torn
She might be bruised but never broken
Keep both feet in Rome
Keep both feet in Rome
(keep both feet in Rome)
