[Intro — abrupt, dry vocal pickup] Nobody sees me land They only see me leave [Verse 1 — fast, clipped, bars breaking early] At one fifteen, your friend says I’m a lot At one seventeen, your hand is in my shirt You ask me where I’m going Like the answer wouldn’t hurt I’ve got a mouth full of altitude A pocket full of names I make a bad decision Look like a reason to remain You like me in the doorway Half-arrived and overdrawn I can turn a little panic Into something you put on [Pre-Chorus — rising, syllables tighten] Don’t call it chemistry If you only like the spark Don’t call me complicated When you’re asking for the dark [Chorus — half-time, wide and direct] Nobody sees me land They only see me leave I make a bad decision Look like a reason to believe If you love the way I vanish Don’t call it chemistry Nobody sees me land They only see me leave [Verse 2 — double-time, internal rhyme] I’ve been good at disappearing With my fingerprints intact Every exit has a witness Every witness wants it back You can keep the clean explanation I don’t wear it when I’m dressed There’s a difference between surrender And performing being impressed I know exactly when to smile I know exactly when to go You call it self-protection I call it giving you a show [Turn — melody changes owner] But when the room gets honest And the music loses teeth I can hear my body asking What it costs to keep me free [Chorus — altered final line] Nobody sees me land They only see me leave I make a bad decision Look like a reason to believe If you love the way I vanish Don’t call it chemistry Nobody sees me land And nobody gets to see [Bridge — three uneven vocal cells] Up here No witnesses Up here No forgiveness I was never hard to hold I was hard to hold responsible No— Say it again Say it without making me beautiful [Drop — rhythmic vocal fracture] Leave Leave Leave me the altitude [Final Chorus — beat returns with vocal stack] Nobody sees me land They only see me leave I make a bad decision Look like a reason to believe If you love the way I vanish Don’t call it chemistry Nobody sees me land But I know what follows me [Outro — bare, unresolved] At one fifteen, you called me a lot At one seventeen, you forgot Nobody sees me land They only see me leave
