AEON - Come On Up

[Intro: Kairo — filtered baritone, deep tape delay, 303 breathing underneath, Rhodes chord opening]
Higher floor. (higher… higher…)
Nobody up here but us. (nobody… nobody…)
Come on up.

[Verse 1: Shiyun — spinto tenor, close on the mic, restrained]
Been watching you all night from the piano.
You knew. You looked back twice.
Whole garden below still saying your name wrong —
come up. I can't keep playing while you stand at the bar wearing that.
Yacht lights on the black water. Half the coast lit up below.
Band's up here. So are we.

[Pre-Chorus: Ryuha — airy falsetto, breathy, rising]
You don't owe 'em the room,
you don't owe 'em the answer,
music's on the roof
and the roof is yours.

[Chorus: Shiyun leads, Ryuha stacked a third above, Kairo filtered in the gaps, Liam bright on the last two lines]
Higher floor — (higher, higher)
Come on up — (higher, higher)
Been watching you all night, you know it,
been saying your name the last hour.
Come dance where we can't help but look,
come dance where the eyes are yours.
Higher — (higher, higher)
Above — (above, above)

[Verse 2: Jisu — dry spoken flow, Rhodes and sub bass only, tightens into triplets on the last two lines]
Look. I've been trying to keep this professional.
The walk ain't helping. The body ain't helping.
The way you cross a room is going to end me and I don't care.
Somebody's poured you one already. Come find out who.
Meanwhile — the ones down there saying your name wrong tonight?
Noted. Moved on. None of 'em worth the breath.
When you finally decide to come up
we'll be exactly where we been.

[Post-Verse: Liam — youthful, bright, entirely sincere / Kairo answering low behind him]
We saw you walk in.
We saw who watched you walk in.
The dress. The way you crossed the room.
Been holding the good chair for you,
poured you one already —
just come up here, baby.
(Kairo: come up… come up… come up…)

[Pre-Chorus: Ryuha falsetto lead, Liam under in chest voice — lifts a step]
You don't owe 'em the room,
you don't owe 'em the answer,
music's on the roof
and the roof is yours.

[Chorus: All]
Higher floor — (higher, higher)
Come on up — (higher, higher)
Been watching you all night, you know it,
been saying your name the last hour.
Come dance where we can't help but look,
come dance where the eyes are yours.
Higher — (higher, higher)
Above — (above, above)

[Rap Break: Jisu — drums out, single Rhodes chord sustaining, 303 alone, spoken then triplet flow]
Alright, look.
Been up here talking about you for hours.
Every one of us. Every one of us.
This song is us finally getting the nerve.
Let 'em hear it. Let 'em all hear it.
Come up.

[Rap Break cont: Kairo — baritone, half-time, bottom of the mix]
Look at me.
I don't do this for anyone.
I'm doing it for you tonight.

[Bridge: Shiyun opens into full chest voice, vibrato wide / Ryuha falsetto descant / low strings enter]
You didn't put that dress on for them.
You put it on for tonight.
Tonight is up here.
Stairs on your left.
Come find me.
Band starts when you get to the top.

[Breakdown: Kairo chant, filtered, every line thrown back by the delay / Liam bright on top]
Up. (up, up, up)
Come up. (come up, up, up)
Higher. (higher, higher, higher)
(Liam: we waiting on you — waiting on you —)
Now.

[Final Chorus: All — Rhodes wide open, 303 lifting, Shiyun sustaining the top note through the last bar]
Higher floor — (rise for us)
Come on up — (rise for us)
Dance where we can't help but look,
dance where every eye already knows your name.
Roof is yours,
night is yours,
door at the top got your name on it —
higher — (higher)
above — (above)

[Outro: Shiyun low velvet, Kairo answering from the far end of the delay, Ryuha thinning above]
We on the roof. (roof… roof…)
So are you. (are you… are you…)
(Liam, quiet, last: …saved you the good chair.)
Come on up.
