Clockwork Heartbeat

[Intro – clock ticks, music box melody, soft filter] Tick-tick Little light Hands spin Late at night Soft chime in the dark Tiny gears in my heart [Verse 1 – french house groove, muted bass, gentle beat] Every second on your screen Blue glow on your face So clean Half a message Half a dream You say “wait” While the hours scream I’ve been counting dots on the wall Red numbers rise Then fall All these minutes feel so small Till you say my name at all [Pre-Chorus – filter opens, subtle lift] Time slows down When you’re near Every sound Pulls you here [Chorus – warm french house lift, melodic] You turn my time to a clockwork heartbeat Ticking in my chest when you touch me Spinning like the hands when our eyes meet Winding up my soul till it runs free Clockwork heartbeat Under your skin Clockwork heartbeat Let the moment in [Verse 2 – groove continues, added texture] Little metal dancer spins On the lid where the song begins Wind the key with shaking hands Hope this moment never ends Street outside is racing past Inside We’re stretching out the last Second hanging in the air You press play And I’m right there [Pre-Chorus – repeat, more intensity] Every click Every sign Pulls me deeper Out of time [Chorus – repeat, fuller] You turn my time to a clockwork heartbeat Every little second pulling me Round and round till the walls retreat Winding up my soul till it runs free Clockwork heartbeat Don’t let go Clockwork heartbeat Move it slow [Bridge – breakdown, minimal, intimate] One Two Three Breathe Four Five Stay with me Six Seven Slow it down Eight Nine Here and now [Build – rising synths, ticking accelerates] Ten Hold tight [Final Chorus – full french house energy] You turn my time to a clockwork heartbeat Locked in the rhythm where you find me Hands keep spinning but we don’t need Anything more than this feeling Clockwork heartbeat Lost in time Clockwork heartbeat Yours and mine [Outro – music box returns, clock fades] Tick-tick Still here
