[Intro | Suspended Energy | Breath-Tipped Delivery | Kalimba Figure + Soft Percussion] At seven twelve, the kettle clicked The same bird crossed the window twice [Verse 1 | Steady Motion | Clear Chest Delivery | Muted Bass + Kalimba Pulse] I knew the message on my phone Before the screen had lit my hand I knew the driver missed the light I knew the rain would start at ten The woman at the corner shop Would drop a coin and laugh too loud A little boy would lose his hat And chase it halfway through the crowd [Pre-Chorus | Building Energy | Lifted Mix Delivery | Hand Drum Lift + String Pulse] I knew the words before they came The pauses landed just the same Every minute fit the shape Of somewhere I had been [Chorus | High Energy | Open Belt + Layered Doubles | Full Drums + Metallophone Lift] I lived this day before today Every turn, every word, every face I knew the hour, I knew the way Until one small thing fell out of place Now I can't tell which side is waking Which one started, which one stayed I lived this day before today Or maybe I'm still on the other side [Post-Chorus | Buoyant Energy | Tight Hook Delivery | Handclaps + Kalimba Loop] Same door Same street Same time Wrong key [Verse 2 | Steady Motion | Clear Chest Delivery | Muted Bass + Plucked Strings] At half past one I crossed the square The fountain stopped just as before I reached to take the western stairs Then saw a red thread on the floor It should have been beside the rail I knew exactly where it lay But this one curled beneath my shoe And suddenly I lost the day [Pre-Chorus | Building Energy | Lifted Mix Delivery | Hand Drum Lift + String Pulse] The waiter brought the cup too soon A dog barked once instead of two Tiny fractures in the order Things I somehow always knew [Chorus | High Energy | Open Belt + Layered Doubles | Full Drums + Metallophone Lift] I lived this day before today Every turn, every word, every face I knew the hour, I knew the way Until one small thing fell out of place Now I can't tell which side is waking Which one started, which one stayed I lived this day before today Or maybe I'm still on the other side [Bridge | Suspended Energy | Intimate Head-Mix Delivery | Bowed Strings + Sparse Hand Drum] What if sleep was where I started? What if this is what came second? What if I woke into the copy And called the other one imagined? There was a room, there was a morning There was a version left behind If she is lying there and waking Then whose body carries mine? [Breakdown | Rising Energy | Tense Chest Delivery | Bass Ostinato + Metallic Percussion] Seven twelve, the kettle clicks But now the bird flies only once My phone stays dark The rain comes early Someone says a name I don't know [Chorus | Peak Energy | Open Belt + Layered Doubles | Full Drums + String Surge] I lived this day before today But now the road has changed its shape I know the hour, lose the way And every answer comes too late If both are real, which one is living? If both are false, what did I make? I lived this day before today And now I don't know when I wake [Outro | Falling Energy | Breath-Tipped Delivery | Kalimba Return + Soft Percussion] At seven twelve, the kettle clicked I waited for the bird It never came [End]
