[Intro - synth shimmer] Mm, it's him [Verse 1 - conversational, wry] Kept a secret for nine months straight Me? The one who can't keep anything Everybody placing bets on names Aunties texting me like it's a game Sorry to the group chat, I said nothing Watched you all spiral, that was fun [Pre-chorus - building] But now he's here and I'm done being subtle Cancel all your plans, this is front page news [Chorus - big, glossy] Silas is his name Yeah, we said it like a headline Silas is his name Been rehearsing this my whole life Seven pounds of major news And the story checks out true Silas is his name [Verse 2 - wry, talk-singing] He's got his mother's stubborn chin Thank God, 'cause mine folds easily Three days old, already runs the place Negotiates his naps like a CEO And I'm just staff now, honestly Best demotion in history [Pre-chorus] 'Cause now he's here and I'm done being subtle Cancel all your plans, this is front page news [Chorus] Silas is his name Yeah, we said it like a headline Silas is his name Been rehearsing this my whole life Seven pounds of major news And the story checks out true Silas is his name [Bridge - spoken word, deadpan] And for everyone who guessed the name You were wrong All of you It was never on the list we showed you There was another list There was always another list [Final chorus - full, ad-libs] Silas is his name (say it!) Yeah, we said it like a headline Silas is his name (oh-oh) Been rehearsing this my whole life Seven pounds of major news And the story checks out true Silas is his name [Outro - synth fades] Mm, headline news It's him
