[Intro — instrumental effects: ambient synth pads, distant piano notes, slow heartbeat percussion, atmospheric reverb field, vinyl noise texture, subtle reverse swells, soft crescendo build | vocal: clean ethereal vocals with long reverb tail, airy delay, stereo widening]
There was a moment before skin
Before breath warmed the dark
Before fingers knew the language
Of another heartbeat
Just imagination
Just the quiet electricity
Of wondering what it would feel like

[Verse 1 — vocal: rap vocals, relaxed cadence, subtle distortion edge, short delay slapback | instrumental: muted bass pulse, minimal drums, piano fragments, atmospheric synth haze, slow dynamic swell]
You were only a silhouette
Drawn in the fog of my mind
A shadow leaning in closer
Every time I closed my eyes
No history
No promises
No scars to defend
Just the thrill of a stranger
That destiny might send

[Pre-Chorus — vocal: clean ethereal vocals layered with light harmonies, shimmer reverb, soft delay | instrumental: rising strings, atmospheric pads, gradual crescendo, tension build]
The air was trembling
Like thunder waiting to bloom
Two ghosts circling
Inside the same quiet room

[Chorus — vocal: clean ethereal vocals with layered harmonies, stereo delay, wide reverb bloom | instrumental: full drums, electric guitar swell, cinematic strings, choir pads, strong crescendo]
Dreams before the touch
Where nothing has been broken
Dreams before the touch
Where every hope is open
We were only fire
Waiting in the dark
Dreams before the touch
Before the first spark

[Verse 2 — vocal: rap vocals with rhythmic emphasis, subtle vocal distortion, light echo | instrumental: bass groove, atmospheric guitar textures, minimal percussion, slow crescendo]
Your voice was only theory
A melody I couldn't place
But somehow I still felt it
Hovering close to my face
A gravity pulling
Two unknown worlds near
The kind of beautiful danger
You feel before someone appears

[Pre-Chorus — vocal: clean ethereal vocals layered, airy harmonics, soft delay | instrumental: strings rising, pad swell, dynamic crescendo]
Heartbeat whispering
A language neither of us knew
The night was listening
Like it was waiting for you

[Chorus — vocal: clean ethereal vocals with harmonic stacking, stereo delay, wide reverb | instrumental: heavier drums, guitar layers, cinematic swell, choir textures]
Dreams before the touch
Where the future hasn't spoken
Dreams before the touch
Where the spell is still unbroken
Two sparks drifting
Through the endless dark
Dreams before the touch
Before the first spark

[Bridge — vocal transition clean ethereal vocals into harsh vocals with distortion, saturation, echo trail | instrumental: glitch textures, low synth drones, distorted guitar pulses, gradual crescendo]
[Clean ethereal vocals]
No jealousy
No damage
No ghosts between the lines
Just curiosity
And the miracle
Of two unfinished lives

[Harsh vocals — gritty distortion, compression punch, short echo]
Maybe you were already
Walking somewhere tonight
Maybe the universe
Was bending us toward the same light

[Final Chorus — vocals: layered clean ethereal vocals + background harsh vocals accents | vocal effects: reverb bloom, stereo widening, delay trails | instrumental: massive drums, distorted guitars, cinematic strings, choir layers, powerful crescendo]
Dreams before the touch
Where the story hasn't started
Dreams before the touch
Where no heart is guarded
Just the quiet promise
Of a wandering spark
Dreams before the touch
Still glowing in the dark

[Outro — vocal: clean ethereal vocals fading with long reverb tail | instrumental: piano reprise, ambient pads, gradual decrescendo, fading atmosphere]
Before skin
Before breath
Before we even knew our names
There was only the dream
Of what love
Might become
