[Intro] [Solo heartbeat, a single slow kick, 62 beats per minute, a soft hum, vocal chop: "tempo... tempo..."] [Verse 1 – whispered, intimate, melodic] Sixty-two, that's my resting beat Counting laps around the same street Every song I loved, I sang alone Every room I lit, I lit on my own I asked the sky what the whole thing's for Got a drum with nobody on the floor Thump... thump... (thump... thump...) [Pre-Chorus – sung, rising, harmonies, filtered synth sweep] Then you walked in, and mine went off the grid Skipped like a stone on a lake I hid I tried to keep my cool, tried to keep the pace But my heart left the room and ran to your place [Chorus – sung, big, soaring melody, gospel-tinged runs, layered harmonies] Same tempo, same tempo When you breathe in, I'm in Same tempo, same tempo Where you begin, I begin I don't need the answer Don't need the sky Just two hearts, one rhythm And a reason to try Same tempo (oh-oh-oh) Same tempo (oh-oh-oh) [Verse 2 – sung, groove, more rhythm, gliding bass] You count in threes, I count in four But somehow we land on the floor Your hand on my chest, you feel it race Say "slow down, love, I've got the space" We tried to find the beat, a hundred times Missed and laughed, no need for rhymes Then one night, quiet, we just aligned Like the whole world blinked, and we're in time [Pre-Chorus – sung, rising, harmonies] Then you walked in, and mine went off the grid Skipped like a stone on a lake I hid I tried to keep my cool, tried to keep the pace But my heart left the room and ran to your place [Chorus – sung, big, soaring melody, gospel-tinged runs, layered harmonies] Same tempo, same tempo When you breathe in, I'm in Same tempo, same tempo Where you begin, I begin I don't need the answer Don't need the sky Just two hearts, one rhythm And a reason to try Same tempo (oh-oh-oh) Same tempo (oh-oh-oh) [Instrumental Drop] [Half-time switch, wobbling bass takes the lead, glitch stutters, vocal chops, Rhodes solo, filter sweep builds, then everything slams back in, euphoric] [Bridge – silence, then spoken, tender] [Everything stops. Total silence. Two seconds.] ... [A single kick, then a second kick, the two beats lock together] Listen. That's two. And now it sounds like one. [Build-up – sung, harmonies stacking, drums rolling, tempo accelerating] Faster, faster Don't let go Faster, faster I know, I know [Final Chorus – double-time, key change up, full band, gospel choir, strings, biggest moment, ad-libs] Same tempo, same tempo (When you breathe in, I'm in) Same tempo, same tempo (Where you begin, I begin) I don't need the answer Don't need the sky Just two hearts, one rhythm And a reason to try Same tempo (oh-oh-oh) Same tempo (oh-oh-oh) Oh, same tempo [Outro] [Beat slows down gently to a single heartbeat, a soft breath, the bass fades out] Sixty-two. [whisper] Sixty-two. Together.
