Two Bodies

THE ONE I LET WALK" deep house / lucid night — Side B of "One Heartbeat" [Intro — spoken, low, close-mic'd] [echoed vocal] I don't dance. I came to stand at the back and disappear. [Verse 1] [muted synth stab] I was watching the door, not the floor Drink going warm in my hand Then the crowd opened up like water And there you were Moving like the song was written for you And I was the only one who noticed [Pre] You looked up. [snare] You looked up like you'd been looking for a while. [Drop / Hook] [sparse percussion] One heartbeat Two bodies, one heartbeat Never touched a stranger and known her One heartbeat Don't let the night end Don't let the night end [Verse 2] I don't believe in any of this Never did, never had a reason to Then your hand found my chest And something in me said there you are Like I'd been carrying an empty room And you walked into it [Bridge — the kiss] [echoed vocals] [sparse percussion] I kissed you and the club went dark No bodies, no bar, no bass Just a garden and no shame in it First man, first woman, first fire Everyone else could have died that night and I swear to God I wouldn't have noticed I wouldn't have noticed [Break — sparse, sub only] Another dimension Only us in it Only us in it [Verse 3 — cold] Then the lights came up And I got scared Not of you — of how fast Of how much So I let go of your hand And I watched you walk And I told myself I'd see you again That was the lie That was the whole lie [Final Hook — haunted, thin mix] One heartbeat Still one heartbeat Been in every room since, looking One heartbeat Somewhere out there Somewhere out there [Outro] [echoed vocals] [sparse percussion] She's still dancing in my head. I'm the one who let her walk. I'm the one who let her walk. she walked away- she walked away- way- way-
