It's a mystery

[Start] [Verse 1] You mock the frame from some late streaming scene I laugh along while every pause stays clean Your comments skip like pebbles near a shore I keep my calm and still you lean for more [Verse 2] We trade old clips like postcards in the rain You tilt your head like every line’s a game A frozen screen drifts softly through the room Like paper planes still circling in bloom [Chorus] It's a mystery beneath the fading hue One tiny glitch became a wider view You grin awhile while brushing at your cuff I hide a smile pretending that’s enough It's a mystery through things we thought we knew Each passing word keeps splitting into two We hold our ground while turning thoughts around Like maybe meaning never can be found [Verse 3] "I’m out of this loop" returns again tonight I slow the pace before the laughs take flight Your gaze invites another subtle cue Mine stays reserved while all the air feels new [Verse 4] The evening bends like wheels across the tile You mimic pauses stretching for a while A crooked grin appears before you speak Like both of us grew lighter through the week [Chorus] It's a mystery beneath the fading hue One tiny glitch became a wider view You grin awhile while brushing at your cuff I hide a smile pretending that’s enough It's a mystery through things we thought we knew Each passing word keeps splitting into two We hold our ground while turning thoughts around Like maybe meaning never can be found [Bridge] Your answers fall like rhythms through the hall Mine wander back in softer interval You pull me near through every tangled phrase I keep the balance drifting through the haze The stream cut out before the closing line Like perfect timing nobody designed One quiet pause explained more than the rest Two careful minds still leaving it unguessed [Final Chorus] It's a mystery beneath the fading hue One tiny glitch became a wider view You grin awhile while brushing at your cuff I hide a smile pretending that’s enough It's a mystery through things we thought we knew Each passing word keeps splitting into two We nearly fold then break in quiet grins While silence loops where everything begins [Outro] [End]
