[INTRO — shouted tag, immediate bass stab] K-K-K KYRODITH! Nobody noticed. [VERSE 1 — intimate female vocal, UK garage swing] You’re explaining something clever. I’m pretending I can hear. There are six of us at dinner; I’ve been watching you from here. You turn sideways, reach for water, Catch me looking at your mouth. I could swear you pause on purpose. Then politely help me out. [PRE-CHORUS — clipped phrases, rising bass pressure] Pass the salt. Hold that thought. Your left hand Finds what it wants. Underneath, Out of view, I turn mine To welcome you. [CHORUS — emotional melody, short memorable phrases] Under the table, Your fingers through mine. Everyone’s talking. I’m having the time of my life. Under the table, A very small yes. I’m in love with the man Who keeps brushing his thumb on my wrist. Don’t move your hand. Don’t move your hand. I’ve got a whole conversation You would understand. [DROP — massive rolling sub, chopped female hook] Don’t move— Your hand. Right there— Like that. They talk. We smile. Your thumb. My wrist. All this From this. [VERSE 2 — warm, confident, syncopated] Someone asks how we first met. You say I can tell it better. I leave out the part where I went home And told my sister every letter. You correct the month, I let you. We both know I’ve got it right. Then you say, “She looked so lovely.” I forget about July. [PRE-CHORUS — percussion builds, vocal opens] Look at you, Saying that. Now I have To kiss you back. Let them pause. Let them see. You’ve got sauce On your sleeve. [CHORUS — full vocal, wide harmonies] Under the table, Your fingers through mine. Everyone’s talking. I’m having the time of my life. Under the table, A very small yes. I’m in love with the man Who keeps brushing his thumb on my wrist. Don’t move your hand. Don’t move your hand. I’ve got a whole conversation You would understand. [BRIDGE — tender sung vocal over continuous bass] We can leave whenever. We can order something sweet. I don’t need the room to empty To have you here with me. You loosen your fingers To reach across for wine. I catch your hand returning. You were looking for mine. [FINAL DROP — explosive breakbeat fills, call and response] Where were we? Right here. Want my hand? Come here. They talk. We smile. Your thumb. My wrist. I love you. All of this. [OUTRO — close female vocal, final bass hit] Someone says, “You two are quiet.” If they only knew.
