[Intro — viskning, hypnotisk 808-house, 90 BPM, bandsus] I was there… You were gone… I looked back… You looked on… (808:an pulserar som ett hjärta, hypnotiskt house-groove) [Vers 1 — spoken-rap, intim, hypnotisk 808-house, bred stereo] I saw you, you didn’t see me, I stopped, you kept walking, I looked back, you looked ahead, I stayed, you disappeared. I heard you, you heard the rain, I knew your face, you knew no name, You had somewhere, I had nowhere, You were close, I wasn’t there. I crossed the street, you crossed the night, You found the door, I missed the light, I turned around, you didn’t turn, I kept the moment, you moved on. You were there, I wasn’t there, I was here, you weren’t here, I came closer, you moved farther, Almost near, almost nowhere. [Förrefräng — house-groovet accelererar, 808:an stiger, stråkar kommer in] When I look, you look away, When you stay, I cannot stay, When I’m early, you are late, When you’re early, I still wait. I remember, you don’t know, You keep walking, I move slow, I remember, I remember, You don’t know… [Refräng — luftig R&B, 8-stämmiga harmonier, Auto-Tune, full 808, house-groove] I saw you, you didn’t see me, I heard you, you heard the rain, I was waiting, you were leaving, I came back, you never came. You were waking, I was dreaming, I was looking, you looked through, You don’t know me, I don’t know you, Still I wish I somehow knew you. I saw you, you didn’t see me, You were there, I wasn’t ready, I was there, you were already… Gone. [Vers 2 — RÖSTBYTE: mer hotfull viskning, distorderad 808, mörkare house-groove] (viskning, närmikrofon, 808-house-puls) I came back, you didn’t come, You found morning, I found none, I saw daylight, you saw rain, I forgot you, then came your face. I said nothing, you said less, I felt something, you felt nothing, I had questions, you had time, You had somewhere, I had night. You went left, I went right, You found home, I found the lights, You went inside, I stayed outside, You had your world, I had the night. I was hoping, you weren’t waiting, You were living, I was wondering, I looked for you, you looked away, You found tomorrow, I found yesterday. I was wondering, I was wondering, You were living, you were living, I remembered, I remembered, You never knew, you never knew. [RÖSTBYTE — total tystnad. 2 sekunder. Sedan: låg, mörk röst, som om natten själv talar] [Vers 3 — låg röst, långsam, 808-sub 20 Hz, minimalt house-groove, sul ponticello] I saw you. You saw the street. I heard you. You heard the rain. I was there. You were gone. You came back. I had moved on. I knew your face. You knew no name. I kept the moment. You kept walking. I almost spoke. You almost stayed. I turned around. You looked away. I had a question. You had no clue. I didn’t know you. You didn’t know me. But somehow… I remembered you. [Slutlig förrefräng — rösten blir mjuk igen, men FALSK, house-groovet glider] If I see you, you may not see, If you see me, I may leave, If I stay, you may be gone, If you stay, I may move on. You don’t know, I don’t know, You let go, I can’t let go, You were there, I wasn’t there, (rösten brister) …we’re never there. [RÖSTBYTE — det mest kusliga: rösterna INUTI. Flera kvinnliga röster, överlagrade och viskande, som om de talar inifrån ett minne.] [Brygga — flera röster, överlagrade, viskande, endast 808-hjärtslag, house-groovet stannar] (flera kvinnliga röster, lager på lager, viskande, inifrån) I saw you… You didn’t see me… I heard you… You heard the rain… You were there… I wasn’t there… I came back… You had gone… You came back… I had gone… Too early… Too late… Too close… Too far… I was here… You were there… You were here… I was there… Not together… Not together… Not together… (rösterna accelererar, överlappar varandra och blir till en vägg av viskningar) [Tystnad. 3 sekunder. Sedan:] [Slutrefräng — kvinnan sjunger ensam, mjuk röst, men house-groovet återvänder, full 808, 8-stämmiga harmonier, maximal stereo] I saw you, you didn’t see me, I heard you, you heard the rain, I was waiting, you were leaving, I came back, you never came. You were waking, I was dreaming, I was looking, you looked through, You don’t know me, I don’t know you, Still I wish I somehow knew you. I saw you, you didn’t see me, You were there, I wasn’t ready, I came back, you had already… (rösten stannar. 2 sekunder. Sedan de inre rösterna, mjukt, tillsammans:) …gone. [Outro — 808-house tonar ut över 8 slag, bandsus, ett ljud: två par fotsteg som går åt motsatta håll. Sedan tystnad.] I was there… You were gone… I came back… You moved on… (5 sekunders tystnad) (en avlägsen kvinnlig viskning:) …maybe next time.
