[Intro] Another sweet one… [Verse 1] She comes wearing freshness without knowing, like she forgot she carries it. She speaks slowly, but summer stays resting on her lips. She tempts me with small gestures, with intentions that don’t ask permission. She doesn’t play to lose, she plays to stay just a little longer. ⸻ [Verse 2] She keeps me awake without noise, time loosens when she laughs. She smells like something I can’t name, like a distant sea, or a calm red caught in her hair. She doesn’t enter the room… she tilts it. ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] And then your lights fall on me without apology. ⸻ [Chorus] Your lights on me cast shadows in me I had never seen. They promise nothing, they don’t save, they don’t attack, they only reveal. Your lights on me show me where I bend, where I was hiding and calling it calm. ⸻ [Verse 3] I thought I knew myself, I had maps, rehearsed versions. But under your gaze, your lights on me cast shadows in me I had never seen. They are not fear, they are outlines. You don’t touch me, yet I feel exposed. You don’t fix me, but you hold me while I see myself. ⸻ [Bridge] Before, I thought darkness was the problem. Now I understand light is braver because it doesn’t run… it stays. “Ṣé èyí ń wò mí láradá?” (Is this healing me?) “Àbí òtítọ́ ló ń dun bẹ́ẹ̀?” (Or is truth just painful?) All I know is I can’t pretend anymore that I didn’t see. ⸻ [Final Chorus – stripped / intense] Your lights on me cast shadows in me I won’t deny. Even if one day you leave, even if the room goes dark, something in me stayed lit. Not as hope… as awareness. ⸻ [Outro – whispered] Some lights don’t warm you… Dem wake you up.
