[Intro] (Minor key piano, soft atmospheric pad) Yeah... 88 on the beat They can say whatever they want, you know? It's just you and me against the whole room [Verse 1] (Confident storytelling rap, warm bass, crisp drums) They talk in whispers when we walk through the door Counting up our flaws like they keeping the score Said we wouldn't last through the winter, too cold Said the story that we writing is already sold Got her mama on the phone saying take it real slow Got my brothers in my ear saying let the girl go Every background noise trying to tell us how to feel When the world is fake, what we got is too real They don't see the late nights, sitting on the floor Trading all our dreams, keeping quiet through the door Standing in the storm while the rumors fly past Building something strong that was built to last [Pre-Chorus] (Subtle strings swell, drums drop out, dramatic pause) Let 'em talk, let 'em judge, let 'em doubt what we know When the lights fade out, we got nowhere to go... but up [Chorus] (Melodic R&B chorus, intimate harmonies, full sub bass, crisp groove) 'Cause they don't know the way you look at me They don't see the vision that we see Let the whole world point and disagree You're the only place I wanna be Through the noise, through the rain, through the fire and dust Ain't nobody gonna break this trust Yeah, they can call it crazy, call it blind You're the only one I came to find [Verse 2] (Storytelling rap, punchy bassline, layered ad-libs) Remember back in April when the tank hit zero? No cap, didn't need to play the hero Just a broken down car on the side of the 95 You was laughing in the rain, keeping hope alive Everybody said that we was moving too fast Told me love like this wasn't made to last Now we standing in the deep end, breathing in the blue I'd lose every friend before I ever lose you Got the static on the radio, turn the dial down We the only two survivors in a ghost town Let 'em write the headlines, let 'em spill the ink We don't care a single second what the outsiders think [Pre-Chorus] (Strings swell, dramatic pause before the drop) Let 'em talk, let 'em judge, let 'em doubt what we know When the lights fade out, we got nowhere to go... but up [Chorus] (Melodic R&B chorus, full harmonies, anthemic production) 'Cause they don't know the way you look at me They don't see the vision that we see Let the whole world point and disagree You're the only place I wanna be Through the noise, through the rain, through the fire and dust Ain't nobody gonna break this trust Yeah, they can call it crazy, call it blind You're the only one I came to find [Bridge] (Piano solo, warm bass guitar, intimate vocal delivery) Static in the air, let it clear away Nothing left to hide, nothing left to say If it's us against the world, then the world gotta move Got a lifetime left that we gotta prove [Chorus] (Full arrangement, layered ad-libs, peak emotional intensity) 'Cause they don't know the way you look at me They don't see the vision that we see Let the whole world point and disagree You're the only place I wanna be Through the noise, through the rain, through the fire and dust Ain't nobody gonna break this trust Yeah, they can call it crazy, call it blind You're the only one I came to find [Outro] (Subtle piano chords, atmospheric pads fade out slowly) Yeah... let 'em talk. Just you and me. We belong right here. (Fade out on minor piano chord)
