[Intro] [Filtered Rhodes] [Wordless Male Falsetto] (Ooh, ooh) (Only when it’s me) [Reverse Vocal Transition] [Verse 1] [Close Male Vocal] [Minimal Beat] Came in late, said you couldn’t stay Coat still on, but you looked my way Phone face down when I said your name Funny how your whole rhythm changed You keep saying that you’re in control While your drink gets warm and the night gets old One more song, then you’re heading home But we both know how that story goes [Pre-Chorus] [Drums Building] [Layered Harmonies] You can call it nothing If it helps you sleep But you don’t lose your cool like this With anybody [Beat Pause] [Chorus] [Full Beat] [Warm Vocal Stacks] Only when it’s me You forget what you believe Say you’re gonna leave Then you move a little closer to me Only when it’s me Every word falls underneath You don’t have to speak Why’s it only, only when it’s me? [Post-Chorus] [Half-Time] [Whispered Backing Vocals] (Only when it’s me) Why’s it only when it’s me? (Only when it’s me) You don’t have to speak [Instrumental Turnaround] [Rhodes Motif] [Vocal Chop] [Verse 2] [Syncopated Male Vocal] [Deep Bass] Different tone when your friends are gone Drop that guard you’ve been leaning on You say no with the lights still on Then stay right here till the moment’s gone I don’t chase, I can let you choose I know pride gives you more to lose But your eyes tell a cleaner truth Every time they come back to me in this room [Pre-Chorus] [Higher Harmony] [Snare Build] You can call it nothing You can keep it deep But you don’t let the silence talk With anybody [Beat Pause] [Chorus] [Full Beat] [Layered Male Harmonies] Only when it’s me You forget what you believe Say you’re gonna leave Then you move a little closer to me Only when it’s me Every word falls underneath You don’t have to speak Why’s it only, only when it’s me? [Post-Chorus] [Call and Response] Only when it’s me (When it’s me) You don’t have to speak (Don’t have to speak) Only when it’s me (When it’s me) Why’s it only when it’s me? [Bridge] [Beat Drops Out] [Rhodes and Sub Bass] [Vulnerable Male Vocal] Maybe I’ve been acting Like I don’t lose sleep Like the way you change around me Doesn’t change something in me Maybe I go quiet So you’ll come looking deep Maybe it’s not only you Maybe it’s only when it’s me [Silence] [Final Chorus] [Full Vocal Stack] [Stronger Drums] [Controlled Falsetto Ad-Libs] Only when it’s me You forget what you believe Say you’re gonna leave Then you move a little closer to me Only when it’s me Every word falls underneath You don’t have to speak Why’s it only, only when it’s me? Only when it’s me You’re as honest as you’ll ever be If it doesn’t mean a thing Why’s it only, only when it’s me? [Outro] [Beat Fades] [Filtered Rhodes] [Soft Male Falsetto] You came in saying you couldn’t stay Now the sun’s coming through the shade (Only when it’s me) (Only when it’s me) [Fade Out]
