You Again

YOU AGAIN [Intro — warm solo vocal; plucked guitar plays the signature three-note hook] I’d choose you in a million lives… You again, you again. [Beat enters — bouncing electro-cumbia percussion, rounded bass, a playful cosmic shimmer] [Verse 1 — intimate, rhythmic; a smile in the delivery] You were dancing in the kitchen, In my shirt, your hair a mess. I came home with too much on me; You said, “Come here. Take a breath.” Then you pulled me by the T-shirt, Spun me out of my bad mood. Funny how a little kitchen Gets as big as space with you. [Pre-Chorus — melody climbs; soft harmonies gather] Let the clocks run out of numbers, Let tomorrow change its name. You could find me in another life— I’d look at you the same. [Chorus — open, euphoric; stretch “you,” land rhythmically on “again”] You again, you again, I’d choose you in a million lives. You again, you again, Different stars, same butterflies. If the world starts over, I know how it ends— You again, you again, I’d fall for you again. [Drop — elastic dubstep bass answers the vocal; cumbia groove stays underneath] Another life? (YOU AGAIN!) Another time? (YOU AGAIN!) Who you gonna fall for? (YOU AGAIN!) You-you-you again! [Verse 2 — playful, conversational; crisp trap accents] Found a diner after midnight, You slid over next to me. Said, “I’d sit across the table, But you’re way too far to reach.” Left your lipstick on my milkshake, Had that trouble in your eyes. You were stealing all my French fries At the other end of time. [Pre-Chorus — stronger lead; rising group harmonies] Let the clocks run out of numbers, Let tomorrow change its name. You could find me in another life— I’d look at you the same. [Chorus — full, bright; crowd echoes the title] You again, you again, I’d choose you in a million lives. You again, you again, Different stars, same butterflies. If the world starts over, I know how it ends— You again, you again, I’d fall for you again. [Short Drop — vocal hook and bass trade phrases] Another life? (YOU AGAIN!) Another time? (YOU AGAIN!) You-you-you again! [Bridge — drums disappear; fingerpicked guitar, close and heartfelt] Keep the nights I got it wrong. Keep the roads that took too long. If they brought me to your door, I’d walk every one once more. Let forever look like this: Sleepy eyes, a morning kiss. You say, “Coffee?” I say, “Please.” That’s all the universe I need. [Build — heartbeat kick; voices grow from a whisper into a crowd] A million lives… (YOU AGAIN.) A million times… (YOU AGAIN.) [One beat of silence; spoken with recognition and affection] There you are. [Final Chorus — same melody, biggest lift; jungle drums over the cumbia pulse] You again, you again, I’d choose you in a million lives. You again, you again, Different stars, same butterflies. If the world starts over, I know how it ends— You again, you again, I’d fall for you again. [Final Drop — festival call-and-response; bass fills the spaces] Another life? (YOU AGAIN!) Another time? (YOU AGAIN!) Who you gonna fall for? (YOU AGAIN!) You-you-you again! [Outro — drums fall away; the opening guitar hook returns] You say, “Coffee?” I say, “Please.” [Softly, almost laughing] You again.
