Voice Note - Ayoa

[Intro — notification tone, soft breath and fingerpicked acoustic guitar] (Female – Ayoa, intimate) Hey… I know it’s late I just wanted to hear your voice Send me something [Verse 1] (Female – Ayoa) Three little dots keep me waiting Then another message lights my phone The words look sweet upon the screen But letters leave me here alone I wanna hear the smile behind them Every pause and every breath Say my name the way you say it Like there’s nobody else left [Pre-Chorus] (Female – Ayoa) A text can say, “I miss you” But your voice tells me how much So give me something I can play Whenever I’m missing your touch [Chorus] (Female – Ayoa with soft female harmonies) Send me a voice note Say my name real slow When the distance gets too loud You’re the sound that brings me home Send me a voice note I can keep it when you go Your love lives in my headphones So send me a voice note [Post-Chorus] (Female – Ayoa with layered female vocals) Play, play I put your loving on replay Say, say Say my name that special way [Verse 2 — light melodic singjay flow] (Female – Ayoa) Send one in the morning when you just wake up Voice still low and you ain’t had your first cup Send one on the road, tell me ’bout your day Even all the little things I want you to say Tell me what you’re thinking, don’t polish the sound I like every rough edge when no one’s around I save every message that nobody would keep Then play them one by one when I can’t fall asleep [Pre-Chorus] (Female – Ayoa) A text can say, “I want you” But your voice makes it feel true No emoji ever made me feel The way one whisper does from you [Chorus] (Female – Ayoa with female harmonies) Send me a voice note Say my name real slow When the distance gets too loud You’re the sound that brings me home Send me a voice note I can keep it when you go Your love lives in my headphones So send me a voice note [Acoustic Guitar Break — fingerpicked melody over soft reggae bass] [Bridge — drums drop out] (Female – Ayoa) If the signal disappears I still have you right here I press play and close my eyes You’re beside me for a while No picture ever held me No sentence pulled me close Like hearing all your love Inside one little voice note [Final Chorus] (Female – Ayoa with full female harmonies) Send me a voice note Say my name real slow When the distance gets too loud You’re the sound that brings me home Send me a voice note I can keep it when you go Your love lives in my headphones So send me a voice note [Outro — acoustic guitar and notification tone] (Female – Ayoa) Play, play I put your loving on replay Say, say Say my name that special way Mmm… Send me a voice note [whisper] Ben, Ben, Bennie pon di riddim Ayoa and Bennie.. Mmmmhhhh
