Salt on the deck
Gold in the glass
You lean on the rail
And the whole night leans back
A velvet grin
On a borrowed moon
You move like a secret
I almost knew

[Pre-Chorus]
And I keep listening
Past the obvious line
Past the polished surface
Past the clock on time
Something in the margin
Something in the dark
Calling my name
With a fire in its heart

[Chorus]
Beyond expectation
Beyond expectation
You open the door
And the room starts praying
Beyond expectation
Beyond expectation
I hear one clear voice
And the crowd keeps swaying

[Verse 2]
White gloves, red wine
In a mirrored hall
Every little glance
Feels bigger than it was
A trumpet of light
In your turning face
I lose my balance
And I love the fall

[Pre-Chorus]
And I keep listening
To the hidden refrain
Under every flourish
Under every name
Something in the silence
Something in the seam
Pulling me closer
Than I planned to dream

[Chorus]
Beyond expectation
Beyond expectation
You open the door
And the room starts praying
Beyond expectation
Beyond expectation
I hear one clear voice
And the crowd keeps swaying

[Bridge]
Take it higher
Take it slow
Let the old frame crack
Let the new light show
I was made for this
For the afterglow
For the leap of faith
When the river starts to glow

[Final Chorus]
Beyond expectation
Beyond expectation
You open the door
And the room starts praying
Beyond expectation
Beyond expectation
I hear one clear voice
And the crowd keeps swaying
Beyond expectation
Beyond expectation
I found the edge
And it started changing
