[Intro - warm synth, 4 bars, you're already smiling] [Verse 1] I've been around since before your gods had names I've seen empires rise and do their little thing I stopped feeling anything a few millennia back You know how it is, or maybe you don't And then I saw you in a rain-soaked alley Switchblade out, doubting my identity Honestly the audacity Honestly though [Pre-Chorus] I don't chase, I don't wait I've been here longer than time can calculate But here I am pocketing your photo So [Chorus] You absolute idiot You made me feel like sunshine again I had forgotten what that was And now I can't forget it again You absolute idiot I'm not chasing you, I already stayed I decided it quietly At 2am in an alley You absolute idiot I think I love that about you [Verse 2] You looked at me and cleared your throat like that was going to fix anything You walked away so dramatically you tripped a little, I saw everything And I grinned like an idiot Because that's what you do to me I haven't grinned like that in centuries Literally centuries [Pre-Chorus] I don't chase, I don't wait But I'll stay right here however long it takes Because here's the thing I'm the Keeper of the Last One And I take that seriously [Chorus] You absolute idiot You made me feel like sunshine again I had forgotten what that was And now I can't forget it again You absolute idiot I'm not chasing you, I already stayed I decided it quietly At 2am in an alley You absolute idiot I think I love that about you [Bridge - drops to just her voice and a light beat, almost confessional] I've been the solemn one for so long I forgot solemn wasn't the whole song And then you idiot came along And I finally smile once more And I thought oh oh no oh you absolute - [Chorus - final, biggest version, pure joy] You absolute idiot You made me feel like sunshine again I had forgotten what that was And now I can't forget it again You absolute idiot I'm not chasing you, I already stayed I decided it quietly At 2am in an alley You absolute idiot I think I love that about you I definitely love that about you [Outro - bright, warm, she's already walked away smiling] I said don't fall in love with anything tragic You said not unless she's made of ink and trauma Habibi That was very specific Yeah A little too specific
