You’re my Alice

Music: Kicking off with a bold theatre-organ intro, the song lays down a Motown-inspired groove—syncopated bass pedals, snapping organ stabs, and heavenly string-mimicking stops, Verses spotlight the organ’s lush chords, swelling to dramatic crescendos, while the vocal lines soar with operatic grandeur over gospel-tinged harmonies, Dramatic modulations and virtuosic organ runs bridge sections, giving the piece theatrical flair and rhythmic drive, all centered on the powerhouse organ

[Verse 1] Saw you slip Through the crowded afternoon Blue dress Chipped glass On your thrift store shoes You laughed once And the room bent out of shape I marked the door You used to escape [Chorus] You’re my Alice I’m the hand that pulls you under Through the cracks Where the daylight starts to shudder No white rabbit Just a map that I have drawn in red You’re my Alice And you’re safer in my head [Verse 2] I know your streets From the coffee to your gate Know the codes That your tired fingers make Your window glows Like a wound in brick and stone I watch it close And I sharpen up my hope [Chorus] You’re my Alice I’m the hand that pulls you under Through the cracks Where the daylight starts to shudder No white rabbit Just a map that I have drawn in red You’re my Alice And you’re safer in my head [Bridge] You said “stranger” Once when our shadows crossed Your eyes Small knives Still I counted that a loss Names don’t matter When I’ve learned your every move When I whisper to the walls They all answer back with you (oh) [Chorus] You’re my Alice I’m the lock around your thunder Down the staircase Where the kind ones never wander No white rabbit Only pages that I’ve filled in red You’re my Alice And you’re perfect When you’re mine Inside my head
