LEMON SODA & WHISPER YOUR NAME

NEW BREED R&B — VOLUME 3, TRACK 4

[Intro — Female, playful and melodic]

Two straws, one bottle, a table for two,
Sunlight is dancing, I'm stealing glances at you.
You draw little circles in the drops on the glass,
I wish this golden afternoon would last.

[Male — Smooth rhythmic rap]

You got a laugh with a rhythm of its own,
Turned a busy little café into our private zone.
You said, “Don't stare,” but you smiled when you spoke,
I nearly lost my words, then we both just broke.

[Verse 1 — Female Lead]

You wrote your number on a paper receipt,
Slid it across while you tapped to the beat.
I tucked it away like a secret to keep,
Then read it again when you couldn't see.

The lemon tasted sharp, but the afternoon was sweet,
Your trainers tapping time underneath the seat.
We talked about places we'd never been,
And made up adventures before the day would end.

[Male Rap Response]

You wanted the coast, I wanted the hills,
We argued about music and laughed at our bills.
No expensive date, no script to rehearse,
Just two strange hearts making ordinary life work.

[Pre-Chorus — Female]

When the streetlights flicker and the day turns blue,
There's one little thing I want to say to you.
Come close enough that the noise disappears,
Let me keep this moment tucked away for years.

[Chorus — Female Lead, Male Call-and-Response]

Female: Lemon soda, summer on my tongue,
Male: Your name's the sweetest word I've ever sung.
Female: Whisper it softly, don't let the night know,
Male: I'll say it where the warm evening breezes blow.

Together: Sip by sip, let the hours unwind,
Your hand finds mine and the stars align.
No grand parade, no diamonds to prove,
Just a little lemon fizz and a reason to move.

[Instrumental Break — Rolling reggae bass, crisp drums, skanking guitar]

[Verse 2 — Male Rap]

Next time I saw you, you arrived late,
Said the bus had decided to test your fate.
You brought me a drawing, all crooked and bright,
Two stick-figure lovers underneath a streetlight.

I kept that paper, though the ink ran thin,
It's funny how a small thing can let the whole world in.
Now every corner shop reminds me of that day,
And every summer evening makes me want to say—

[Female — Warm, Expressive Singing]

I never needed roses lined up in a row,
Or a perfect kind of love from a picture show.
Give me your silly stories, your unplanned detours,
And the way you knock twice at my door.

[Pre-Chorus — Female]

When the streetlights flicker and the day turns blue,
There's one little thing I want to say to you.
Come close enough that the noise disappears,
Let me keep this moment tucked away for years.

[Chorus — Duet]

Together: Sip by sip, let the hours unwind,
Your hand finds mine and the stars align.
No grand parade, no diamonds to prove,
Just a little lemon fizz and a reason to move.

[Bridge — Female and Male Alternating]

Female: If tomorrow brings rain, we'll dance in the street.
Male: If the road gets rough, we'll find our own beat.
Female: If the years change the faces we see,
Male: Save that old receipt and remember me.

Together: Love isn't a promise that the skies stay clear,
It's choosing the same hand year after year.

[Final Chorus — Uplifting, Full Duet]

Female: Lemon soda, summer on my tongue,
Male: Your name's the sweetest word I've ever sung.
Female: Whisper it softly, wherever we go,
Male: You're the little spark that keeps my heart aglow.

Together: Sip by sip, let the hours unwind,
Two imperfect souls with a beautiful time.
No grand parade, no diamonds to prove,
Just our own little world and a reason to move.

[Outro — Female Softly, Male Ad-Libs]

Female: That old receipt, do you still have it?
Male: Right here, my love. I never lost it.
Female: Then say my name, like you did back then.
Male: Close your eyes, sweetheart. Here we go again.
