**MEET THIS WAY — Conscious Hip-Hop Remix**

[Intro — Spoken]
I thought getting myself together
Would make you want to stay.
Funny what we build around somebody
Who never asked for a place.

[Verse 1 — Reflective Rap]
I build myself up, set sail through the weather,
Some days getting dressed means I’m doing better.
Walk around the Serpentine, phone against my palm,
Typing out a paragraph, pretending that I’m calm.
Empty conversations, everybody selling something,
Ask me how I’m living, leave before I tell ’em nothing.
I’m not impressed by names or the tables they can get,
Tell me who you stood beside when there was nothing left.

Friends say, “You’re anxiously attached,” I laugh it off,
Then check to see you read the last message that I dropped.
Grew up hearing doors slam, listening for the keys,
Now a little bit of distance brings that hallway back to me.
And ketamine won’t numb this passion that I carry,
Can’t escape a feeling just by keeping vision blurry.
Hope you know the thing you hold ain’t something you can own:
It’s a diamond under pressure with a heart of gold.

[Pre-Chorus — Melodic]
I can name the hurt,
Still got work to do.
I can learn to love myself
And still make room for you.
Let me say it plainly,
Let the silence break:
I want you here beside me,
But I need myself to stay.

[Chorus — Sung]
Wash over me like a waterfall,
Let the walls come down, let me feel it all.
Hold me close until the moon gives in to the sun,
We don’t have to hide from what we’re running from.
Look in your eyes and they tell me one thing:
We could be more than friends.
The universe conspired for us to meet this way,
But we decide what happens when the morning breaks.
Meet this way, meet this way,
What we gonna build if we meet this way?
Meet this way, meet this way,
Love is in the choices that we make each day.

[Verse 2 — Conscious Rap]
I pay my bills, got a house up in the hills,
But an extra bedroom never taught a heart to heal.
Mama calls and asks me if I’m eating, if I’m sleeping,
I say, “Everything is good,” then stare up at the ceiling.
Call up the Red Cross, put my name down for a shift,
No camera, just a folding chair and boxes I can lift.
Meet a man who lost his home, he asks about my day,
I almost give the usual answer—something makes me stay.

We talk until the truck comes; I help him load the crates,
Been so busy waiting on you, I forgot to participate.
Said I did it all for you—was that a gift or was a bargain?
Was I hoping being needed meant you’d never leave the garden?
You break my heart, I turn our history into a case,
Bring up every good thing like that earns me back my place.
We could start from here, but we gotta start with truth:
I can take responsibility; I can’t take yours for you.

[Bridge — Sung / Rising]
Oo-oo, the time is running out,
Too much left beneath the things we talk about.
Oo-oo, reach out and feel me now,
I’m learning how to let somebody see me now.
Oo-oo, we’ll shoot into the sky,
With the ground we came from still inside our minds.
Oo-oo, we’ll shoot into the sky,
We can take our time, we can take our time.

[Verse 3 — Stripped-Back Rap]
Maybe fate was just the train you missed that afternoon,
Maybe I was early, maybe rain brought me to you.
I don’t need an answer that can make the stars align,
I need you at the table when the talk gets hard sometimes.
Need to hear “I’m sorry” without having to explain
Every little reason that the same thing causes pain.
And you deserve a partner who can hear you asking space
Without making you responsible for every fear I face.

Still a diamond, heart of gold, still a work in progress,
Learning being open doesn’t mean I’m being conquered.
If we’re more than friends, let’s give the words some weight:
Show up when it’s ordinary, mean the things we say.

[Final Chorus — Sung / Layered Harmonies]
Wash over me like a waterfall,
Let the walls come down, let me feel it all.
Hold me close until the moon gives in to the sun,
We don’t have to hide from what we’re running from.
Look in your eyes and they tell me one thing:
We could be more than friends.
The universe conspired for us to meet this way,
But we decide what happens when the morning breaks.
Meet this way, meet this way,
What we gonna build if we meet this way?
Meet this way, meet this way,
Love is in the choices that we make each day.

[Outro — Spoken]
The moon gives in to the sun.
Your cup’s still sitting next to mine.
We’ve got some talking to do.
