Intro — Female, distant / piano only] If the whole world disappears tonight... I don't need somewhere to run. I just need... [silence] Your arms. [Verse 1 — Male, intimate East London rap] Late train, rain running down the glass, your name in my phone but I don't press call. Funny how a room can feel this large when the one thing missing ain't a thing at all. I've been moving like I'm alright, head down, same roads, same street lights. But every little second after midnight I catch myself leaving your side free at night. I know I ain't good with the pretty words, I make jokes when the truth gets close. But I'd cross this city with no last train just to hear you breathe when the whole world slows. So if you're asking what I'm running toward— it ain't money, ain't noise, ain't stars. It's you. Right here. In my arms. [Pre-Chorus — Female] When the lights burn out, when the noise falls away, when there's nothing left we're supposed to say... Don't promise me forever. Just don't let go tonight. [Chorus — Female Soul Lead] Come a little closer, closer than the dark. Let me feel your heartbeat answering my heart. If tomorrow takes the whole world and tears our plans apart... Tonight you're safe, tonight you're home, here in my arms. [Female Ad-lib] In my arms... stay in my arms... [Drop A — Liquid DnB / Vocal Chops] In my— in my arms... [silence cut] Closer... In my arms. [Verse 2 — Male Rap / Darker Jungle] Look— I remember small things, that's my curse, how you pull your sleeves over both your hands, how you say you're fine when you're clearly hurt, then pretend that somehow I won't understand. And I ain't trying to fix every scar. Some things don't need fixing anyway. I'll just sit beside you when it gets too loud, let the silence say what I can't explain. No hero talk. No perfect ending. No movie line where the sky turns gold. Just your head on my chest at quarter past three and my hand finding yours when the room gets cold. That's enough for me. More than enough. [Pre-Chorus B — Male / Female Responses] [Male] If your walls come down— [Female] I'll stay. [Male] If your voice gives out— [Female] I'll stay. [Male] If we lose the words— [Female] Then don't say anything. [Both] Just come closer. [Chorus B — Female Lead / Male Answers] Come a little closer— [Male] I'm right here. Closer than the dark— [Male] Right here. Let me feel your heartbeat answering my heart. If tomorrow takes the whole world and tears our plans apart... Tonight you're safe, tonight you're home, here in my arms. [Drop B — Dark Jungle Evolution] In my arms—arms—arms— [Male] Don't move. [Amen break fractures] [Female] I wasn't going anywhere. [Drop] IN MY ARMS. [Bridge — Piano / Strings / Nearly Dry Vocals] [Male] What if I can't promise you forever? [Female] Then promise me this moment. [Male] What if morning changes everything? [Female] Then hold me until it does. [Male, softer] Come here. [Female] I'm already here. [Final Chorus — Both / Full Emotional Lift] Come a little closer, closer than the dark. Let me feel your heartbeat answering my heart. Let tomorrow take its chances. Let the whole damn world restart. I don't need forever to know where we are. Tonight you're safe. Tonight you're home. Tonight— [TOTAL SILENCE] [Female — completely exposed] ...I'm in your arms. [FINAL DROP — Full Amen + Reese + Piano + Strings] [Both] IN YOUR ARMS! [Female] Closer... closer... [Male] I got you. [Female] Don't let go. [Both] Here in my arms. [Outro — Piano + distant breakbeat] [Male] Still here? [Female, smiling] Still here. [final piano chord]
