Before I Knew it First

[Intro] Tell me Tell me What’s on your mind [Instrumental | brushed drums and electric cello] [Verse 1] I look across the room at you And catch you spacing out I won’t ask a dozen questions Or try to pull it out Keys in your hand, standing by the door In the quiet of the hallway light You don't have to explain why you're quiet— I already read the night [Pre-Chorus] I know you hate to spell it out Every time you get overwhelmed I’m just the one who notices When your shoulders start to drop [Chorus] Tell me what’s on your mind Before the words come out Tell me what’s on your mind Before I figure it out I was close, I was close Before I knew the words Tell me what’s on your mind Before I knew it first [Verse 2] You got that slow stare Like rain on glass I can read your silence When you let it pass. I leave you a minute alone With the moon on the screen You don’t need a long story To say what you mean [Pre-Chorus] So don't wait to bring it up Or wait for things to stall If I see you're running low on room I’ll answer before you call [Chorus] Tell me what’s on your mind Before the words come out Tell me what’s on your mind Before I figure it out I was close, I was close Before I knew the words Tell me what’s on your mind Before I knew it first [Bridge | Half time breakdown] Hands drop... Eyes close. I know where The feeling goes. Light fades... You freeze. I move in With ease. [Final Chorus] Tell me what’s on your mind Before the words come out Tell me what’s on your mind Before I figure it out I was close, I was close Before I knew the words Tell me what’s on your mind Before I knew it first [Outtro] Tell me what’s on your mind Before the thoughts start to crowd I know what’s on your mind Before you have to say it out loud We’re good, so good Before I knew the words Tell me what’s on your mind Before I knew it first ——————— Written and produced by @vinnyleaf Vinnyleaf Music 2026
