What About Us (Y2K Mix)

[Intro] [Female Vocal, Soulful, Sparse Beat, Vocal Chops] (Oh…) (Yeah…) Tell me… What about us? [Verse 1] [Breathy, Intimate, Stuttering Beat, Staccato Synth Stabs] We used to wake up with the sunrise, you and I, no disguise Coffee on the counter, your hand in mine, that look in your eyes Walkin’ through the city, every step in time, we moved as one Now the nights are quiet, empty sheets, and I’m missin’ what we done [Pre-Chorus] [Breathy, Intimate, Beat Strips Back, Tension Builds] Somewhere we lost the map, love slipped through the cracks But I still hear your laugh, I still want you back Can we rewind the tape, bring back the light we trust? Baby tell me true… [Beat Stops] What about us? [Chorus] [Beat Drops Hard, Soulful Belts, Gospel Runs, Harmony Wall] What about us? What about us? We were love, we were together, used to be so close What about us? What about us? [Rhythmic Stops] I need you… Need us… Come back to the way it used to be [Post-Chorus] [Glitch Vocal Chops, Ad-libs] (Ooh…) Tell me… What about us? [Verse 2] [Breathy, Grit, Harder Drum Pattern, Sub Bass Pulse] Late nights I replay the promises we made, forever sounded so sweet You said we’d stay close, we’d stay tight, never let this drift apart Now I stare at photographs and I feel the miles between our hearts Boy, I miss the way we talked, the way we shared, the way we started [Pre-Chorus] [Breathy, Intimate, Beat Strips Back, Tension Builds] I know we both been hurt, careless words and cold distrust But love ain’t finished yet, I still believe in us Take my hand, let’s find the truth, let the silence combust Baby, I’m beggin’ you… [Beat Stops] What about us? [Chorus] [Beat Drops Hard, Soulful Belts, Gospel Runs, Harmony Wall] What about us? What about us? We were love, we were together, used to be so close What about us? What about us? [Rhythmic Stops] I need you… Need us… Come back to the way it used to be [Bridge] [Soulful, Grit, Half-Time Feel, Dark Synth Stabs] We can rebuild from the ground, brick by brick, trust to trust I’ll be seein’ eye-to-eye with you, no more running, no more rush Stayin’ tight through stormy weather, hold you close, never let go If you want forever, baby, I’m ready—we can start that show [Breakdown] [Drums Out, A Cappella Harmony Wall, Breathy] Remember how we used to laugh ‘til dawn? Remember how the world felt like our own? Close enough to hear your heart say my name Together we were fire… Baby, don’t let that flame wane [Vocal Runs] [Gospel Melisma, Layered Ad-libs, Growl] Whoa-oh… Don’t let us fade away… Whoa-oh… Stay… [Beat Slams Back In] [Final Chorus] [Full Production, Soulful Belts, Gospel Runs, Belted Harmony Wall, Ad-libs] What about us? What about us? We were love, we were together, used to be so close What about us? What about us? [Rhythmic Stops] I need you… Need us… Come back to the way it used to be [Outro] [Beat Thins Out, Whisper Doubles, Soulful Ad-libs] Come back and ride this road with me, let’s find our rhythm, find our peace Love can mend the cracks, stitch up the past, bring the hurt to release I’m here, I’m yours, I’m callin’ out, promise I’m not givin’ up If you feel the same inside… Then tell me now… [Beat Stops] What about us? What about us? Used to be so close, love drifted away Come back to the way it used to be… [Fade Out] [Sparse Beat, Vocal Chops] (What about us…) (Stay with me…) (Mmm, yeah-eh-eh…)
