[Verse 1 - dry male English vocal starts immediately on beat one, no intro] Right in the room But hard to read I wear the smile They want from me I move inside the rhythm I keep an easy face They talk like they can reach me But never find the place [Chorus - repeat exactly every time, same melody, same volume, no lift] Right in the room But hard to read They feel the pulse But miss the beat Close to my face Far from my need They know the move But miss the beat [Verse 2 - same deep house groove, warm piano stabs, dry close vocal] I walk through open doorways Like I know where I should be But every room around me Stays one step away from me They ask me how I’m doing I give the easy line The truth keeps moving lower Where nobody has time [Chorus - repeat exactly, no variation, no added drums] Right in the room But hard to read They feel the pulse But miss the beat Close to my face Far from my need They know the move But miss the beat [Verse 3 - same arrangement, steady house pulse, no build] I laugh at the right moment I nod and play along But something in the daylight Keeps telling me it’s wrong Not wrong like I am broken Not wrong like I should leave Just wrong like there’s a version Of me they never see [Chorus - repeat exactly, same intensity, no chorus lift] Right in the room But hard to read They feel the pulse But miss the beat Close to my face Far from my need They know the move But miss the beat [Verse 4 - same groove, no drop, no final build] Maybe I got used to Being easy to explain Maybe I got tired Of translating all the pain Maybe nothing happened Maybe nothing shows Maybe I kept living Where nobody really knows [Chorus - repeat exactly, same volume, no final chorus] Right in the room But hard to read They feel the pulse But miss the beat Close to my face Far from my need They know the move But miss the beat [End - beat stops clean, no outro] They feel the pulse But miss the beat
