[Intro] [instrumental: electric piano riff, walking bass, wah guitar, brass stab] [Verse 1] [female vocal, smooth and confident] You had your eyes on the skyline But missed the shadow at your feet You heard the clock in the silence But never caught the missing beat You wore that smile like armor So polished, clean and bright But every little secret Starts trembling in the light [Pre-Chorus] [drums tighten, brass answers] Turn around too late Now the room is moving Step aside, no way I’m already through it [Chorus] [full acid-jazz funk groove] Right before your eyes I was dancing in disguise You never saw me coming Till the rhythm cut the line Right before your eyes I was hiding in the light You thought you had the answer But the answer wasn’t mine Oh, you missed the sign Missed the sign, missed the sign Right before your eyes I was already inside [Instrumental Break] [wah guitar solo, muted trumpet replies, electric piano run] [Verse 2] [female vocal, playful and sharper] You built a cage out of questions Then locked yourself inside I took the key from the table While you were guarding pride The city knows my footsteps The moon knows where I’ve been I don’t need thunder rolling I just need one small grin [Pre-Chorus 2] [snare fill, bass climbs] Hear the bassline turn Feel the floor start shaking Watch the curtains burn Now the mask is breaking [Chorus] [stronger brass and backing vocals] Right before your eyes I was dancing in disguise You never saw me coming Till the rhythm cut the line Right before your eyes I was hiding in the light You thought you had the answer But the answer wasn’t mine Oh, you missed the sign Missed the sign, missed the sign Right before your eyes I was already inside [Bridge] [half-time groove, bass and electric piano] No crown No chain No script left to follow No fear No shame No dream I have to borrow If the night calls my name I’ll answer with a smile If the truth wants a fight Let it wait there for a while [Final Chorus] [full band, brass hits, layered female harmonies] Right before your eyes I was dancing in disguise You never saw me coming Till the rhythm cut the line Right before your eyes I was hiding in the light You thought you had the answer But the answer wasn’t mine Oh, you missed the sign Missed the sign, missed the sign Right before your eyes I was already inside [Outro] [instrumental: electric piano riff, bass groove, final brass hit]
