[INTRO — wordless melodic vocal ornaments, dry syncopated percussion] [VERSE 1 — richly melodic, intimate lower register; elastic soulful phrasing] You called me laughing through your tears I made you tell me twice You asked me if I was coming Like I'd ever miss your night I wore the earrings that you gave me The ones I said were way too loud You saw them from across the room And laughed before I reached you [CHORUS — infectious, soaring melody; unexpected leaps between raw chest voice and crystalline soprano] Look at you, look at you Can't even get the words out Look at you, look at you I could dance all night And cry when I get home [POST-CHORUS — brief, beautiful wordless soprano ornaments answered by a distorted bass figure] [VERSE 2 — syncopated R&B phrasing; warmer, rougher vocal texture] They said you make it look so easy I laughed into my drink You used to call from parking lots Too tired to go back in When somebody raised a camera I stepped outside the frame You caught the edge of my sleeve And pulled me in again [CHORUS — more rhythmic freedom, stronger melodic contrasts] Look at you, look at you Can't even get the words out Look at you, look at you I could dance all night And cry when I get home [INSTRUMENTAL TURN — broken drums and heavy bass trade short rhythmic phrases with the singer's wordless ornamentation] [BRIDGE — almost bare; vulnerable melody, close-miked raw lower register] You still call me by that nickname Nobody else gets to use You leaned your head against my shoulder I could feel you shaking too [VOCAL EVENT — the final note fractures into a raw folk-like cry, then rises unexpectedly into a pure, sustained soprano; the percussion breaks apart and returns] [FINAL CHORUS — ecstatic, rhythmically loose, emotionally bittersweet] Look at you, look at you Can't even get the words out Look at you, look at you I could dance all night And cry when I get home Look at you... Look at you... [OUTRO — instruments fall away; intimate melodic singing, a fragile high harmony] I could dance all night... And cry when I get home. [END]
