[Intro: ocean waves turning into synth arpeggios] Somewhere past the pressure… There’s a light… with our name on it [Verse 1 - Deep Smooth Male] I woke up tired from a dream I missed Same old world with an iron fist News got heavy, rent got mean Everybody living through a cracked phone screen I need a door in the middle of the day Need a little hope in the mess we made Then you lean in like a secret tune Saying, “Meet me under that electric moon” [Pre-Chorus - Sultry Female] Heartbeat racing, no more waiting Bassline taking over me Your smile’s trouble, make it double We can be gone by three [Chorus - Male + Female] What If I Escape With You What If I Escape With You Past the pressure, past the gray, past the truth What If I Escape With You What If I Escape With You Let the whole world fade when I dance with you [Verse 2 - Smooth Male Rapper] There’s a place where the bills don’t call Where the shadows don’t climb the wall Where the music feels like oxygen And we finally feel young again No boss, no clock, no bad routine Just your hand and a laser-beam dream If tomorrow tries to pull us back We’ll leave our worries on the train track [Pre-Chorus - Disco breathy Female] Lights are flashing, stars are crashing Sweat and glitter on the floor One more chorus, open for us I don’t wanna wait no more [Chorus - Male + Female] What If I Escape With You What If I Escape With You Past the pressure, past the gray, past the truth What If I Escape With You What If I Escape With You Let the whole world fade when I dance with you [Bridge: Call and response, intertwined Male + Female, intimate and teasing] Tell me, would you run if I ran first Would you kiss away the worst Would you laugh until the morning breaks Like we never made mistakes I don’t need a perfect view I just need a night with you Say the line, I’ll say it too [Final Chorus: Hollywood Disco scene, Male + Female leads + backup chorus stacks] What If I Escape With You What If I Escape With You Take my hand, let the skyline split in two What If I Escape With You What If I Escape With You Every little worry disappears with you [Outro] Escape with you Escape with you [Sultry, Whispered] What If… I Escape With You?
