[Intro – Low, intimate] Your lips move Before I make a sound. I like that. Let's see how much you know now. [Verse 1] You catch the breath before the line, The little break I leave each time. Front row, waiting for that note— You look so sure you know. You've got a theory for the dress, A name attached to every lyric. I leave a little room to guess, You build a whole life in it. That crooked smile, that sideways glance, You've watched them back a hundred times. Funny how a camera flash Can make a stranger feel like mine. [Pre-Chorus] And when you sing it back, I feel it in my chest. For a moment, we're that close— Then you fill in all the rest. [Chorus – Powerful, open] You know the chorus, Come on, sing it for me. Every word, every rise, every fall. You know the chorus, And I love how you hold it— Like those few lines could tell you it all. Turn it up, let the whole room shake, I meant every word that I gave. You know the chorus, You know it by heart— There's more of me after the last guitar. [Verse 2] You call the quiet something sad, The red lipstick a declaration. Some nights I wear it just because It looks good on the occasion. You found a villain in verse two, Put someone's face against the name. I wrote that line at half past three— By four, I'd changed it all again. I'll let a real wound in a song, Let you hear the edges of it. But when you swear you've figured me out, I almost hate to spoil it. [Pre-Chorus] You hear the catch in my voice, I hear you catching yours. That's something real between us— I don't need to make it more. [Chorus – Powerful, open] You know the chorus, Come on, sing it for me. Every word, every rise, every fall. You know the chorus, And I love how you hold it— Like those few lines could tell you it all. Turn it up, let the whole room shake, I meant every word that I gave. You know the chorus, You know it by heart— There's more of me after the last guitar. [Rap – Controlled, sharp] Frame by frame, you've got your proof, One raised brow and a brand-new truth. Ten-second clip, now you've got me pinned— Go on, tell me what mood I'm in. I can take a joke, I can change my mind, Wear something twice, leave a text unread. Got a whole lot of ordinary days That would ruin the version you keep in your head. Keep your favorite line, let it get you through, I like what it turns into living with you. Just leave me a little unfinished space— I might do something you can't explain. [Bridge – Stripped back, vulnerable] There are words I haven't found, Things I only half believe. I can sing a line for years Till it means something else to me. When your voice comes through the dark, For a breath, I let you carry mine. That's the part I hope you keep When you think of me tonight. [Final Chorus – Full, soaring] You know the chorus, Come on, sing it for me. Every word, every rise, every fall. You know the chorus, And tonight I can hear it Coming back from the back of the hall. Turn it up, let the whole room shake, I meant every word that I gave. You know the chorus, You know it by heart— I'm still writing after the last guitar. [Outro – Quiet, faint smile] Your lips move Before I make a sound. You know this part. The next one? I'm still working it out.
