🎙️ VERSE 1 You showed up like a half-forgotten song, Whiskey on your breath and trouble in your walk. Saying things you know you shouldn’t say, With that grin that makes me forgive you anyway. You lean on me like a chair with one good leg, Tellin’ me you’ll quit that habit — someday. And I know better than to fall for someone like you, But baby, I’ve been lonely… and you came through. ⸻ 🍷 PRE-CHORUS And I feel that old familiar burn, Right where heartache likes to learn. I should know better — but I never do… ⸻ ⭐ CHORUS — (This is where the Winehouse soul and Dando nostalgia blend) ’Cause something’s starting to happen, And I’m scared of where it goes. You’re the spark under my skin, You’re the bruise nobody knows. Oh, something’s starting to happen — And I swore I’d stay away. But your name is on my heartbeat, And it’s getting loud today. ⸻ 🎙️ VERSE 2 You hum a tune that sounds like summer rain, A little sweet relief wrapped in a little pain. You say you’re “tryin’, tryin’, tryin’” not to fall — But your eyes already told the truth of it all. You smell like records left out in the sun, Warm and worn and coming undone. And I keep telling myself this isn’t wise — But tell that to my pulse when you look into my eyes. ⸻ 🍷 PRE-CHORUS And yeah, I know this type of start — Quick to bloom, quick to break a heart… But maybe this time I’ll forgive the bruise. ⸻ ⭐ CHORUS ’Cause something’s starting to happen, And it’s dangerous, and it’s bright. You’re the mess I shouldn’t dance with, You’re the shadow in my light. Yeah, something’s starting to happen — I can feel it in my bones. You’re the song that keeps repeating Even when I walk alone. ⸻ 💔 BRIDGE — (Winehouse melancholy + Lemonheads warmth) Maybe you’ll ruin me softly, Maybe I’ll ruin you too. Maybe loving’s just a gamble When the odds are overdue. But if this fire’s gonna catch us, Let it catch us where we stand — Two broken little matches Striking out a promised land. ⸻ ⭐ FINAL CHORUS (softer, almost whispered) Something’s starting to happen, And I’m tired of running scared. If the world wants to unravel, Let it unravel — I’ll be there. ’Cause something’s starting to happen… And for once, I’ll let it start. Come closer now, don’t fight it — You’re already in my heart.
