[Intro: sonar ping, low ocean drone, silence between pings, distant cello] [Verse 1: hushed deadpan baritone, close-mic, almost spoken, only drone and ping] We started out with miles between us Two hearts in different places Learning how to fall in love Through voices and familiar faces I knew the sound of your goodnight Before I knew your morning And every time we said goodbye I felt the distance forming [Pre-Chorus: sub bass slowly rising, faint female echo underneath] You'd think by now I'd be accustomed To the space between our days But every time you're far away I miss you in a different way [Chorus 1: the dive, heavy sub bass, slow pulse, ethereal female harmonies, vocal slightly louder but still controlled] Can't wait to see you It's been so long I don't understand it This absence feels so wrong Trying to find you The longing is steep 'Cause baby, I miss you And the way that I miss you Is just so extraordinarily Unfathomably deep [Bass drop, whispered, deep sub hit on each word] Deep Baby, it's deep So deep Baby, it's deep [Verse 2: even quieter, cello joins, ping now fainter] I still reach across the bed sometimes Like you're supposed to be there I hear something that would make you smile And turn around to share There's a thousand little moments That I save up just for you And somehow all those little things Become the things I miss most too [Pre-Chorus: pressure builds, pulsing synth, female echo closer] We know how to make the distance work We've done it all before But knowing how to live apart Don't make me miss you less anymore [Chorus: deeper, darker, bigger sub bass, layered harmonies] Can't wait to see you It's been so long I don't understand it This absence feels so wrong Trying to find you The longing is steep 'Cause baby, I miss you And the way that I miss you Is extraordinarily Unfathomably Deep [Bass drop, whispered] Deep Baby, it's deep [Bridge: complete silence of bass, only a lonely ping and bare voice, fragile, human, trembling] I don't need another photograph I don't need another call I just want to turn around And find you there, that's all No countdown on the calendar No goodnight through a screen Just your hand reaching for mine Like there's never been a space between [Instrumental Break: two sonar pings answer each other for the first time, light synth rises like surfacing, bass returns slowly] [Final Chorus: the surfacing, warmer synths, full female harmonies, baritone now open and emotional, bass drops softer, gentle light] Can't wait to see you It's been so long I don't understand it This absence feels so wrong Trying to find you The longing is steep 'Cause baby, I miss you And the way that I miss you Is extraordinarily Unfathomably Deep Deep Baby, it's deep And when I finally hold you You'll know just what I mean [Final whispered line, one last ping answered instantly, ocean fades to silence] Deep Baby, it's deeeeeep [End]
