Keep That Tempo Steady

[Verse 1 – Male] I read your pulse; it’s saying “stay” Your silhouette keeps giving me away Hands on time but we’re running late Half-time heart in a perfect sway Trouble tastes like something true If it’s wrong, I’ll risk it too Call it fate or call it proof Either way, I’m falling through [Verse 1 – Female] I hear your name inside the bass Every note finds the safest place No confessions, just the truth we taste Slow it down; let the night embrace If we’re fire, let it burn in tune If we’re waves, let me pull you soon All the noise fades when I’m next to you In the hush, I finally move [Pre-Chorus – trade lines] (M) Say less—just breathe with me (F) Read me like a melody (M) Close your eyes; I’ll set the key (F) Two hearts—same tempo, same key [Hook – both, stacked] Pull me under, don’t rescue me In your echo, I’m finally free Name in the reverb, soft and sweet Half-time love on a low-key beat If this is wrong, don’t make it right Let the rhythm hold us tight tonight [Post-Hook – whispers/ad-libs] (F) closer, closer (M) don’t rush, don’t rush (Both) stay… [Verse 2 – Male] Room goes quiet when you’re near Every doubt turns crystal clear I won’t run from what I feel Let the bass sign the deal If there’s a line we shouldn’t cross We’ll draw a new one, set the cost I’ll take the fall to keep this real Tell me slow—just say the word, I’ll kneel [Verse 2 – Female] Time bends easy when you speak Every promise that you keep Wires of gold around my chest Tension soft—still breathless If it’s a risk, I’ll pay it twice Love like this don’t take advice Hold me steady in your key Let the chorus carry me [Pre-Chorus 2 – both, tighter harmony] (M) Say less—just breathe with me (F) Read me like a melody (M) Close your eyes; I’ll set the key (F) Two hearts—same tempo, same key [Hook 2 – both, bigger] Pull me under, don’t rescue me In your echo, I’m finally free Name in the reverb, soft and sweet Half-time love on a low-key beat If this is wrong, don’t make it right Let the rhythm hold us tight tonight [Bridge – call & answer] (M) If I fall, would you fall too? (F) I’ll be there in the cut with you (M) If we fade when the daylight’s through— (F) Play the chord and I’ll come back to you (M) Write my name where the bass comes true (F) I’ll keep time till the night shines blue [Breakdown – minimal, breaths & hums] (M) oh-oh… (F) mmm… (Both) breathe… stay… [Hook – final, ad-libs + sustained harmonies] Pull me under, don’t rescue me (don’t rescue) In your echo, I’m finally free (set me free) Name in the reverb, soft and sweet (soft and sweet) Half-time love on a low-key beat (low-key beat) If this is wrong, don’t make it right (don’t make it right) Let the rhythm hold us tight tonight (hold us tight) [Outro – both] (M) keep that tempo steady (F) meet me where the beat breathes (Both) right… there…
