[Spoken Intro – intimate, close-mic, almost a thought] It’s quiet when you say my name like that… like you’ve said it before. Somewhere I don’t remember. [Verse 1 – soft sung rap, breathy, minimal] I don’t rush when you lean my way I let the moment decide I don’t wonder what this is my hands already know Your hand fits where my doubt was like it’s been there a thousand times Every time you look right through me I feel echoes fall in line yeah… [Pre-Chorus – slightly melodic, still restrained] Maybe I’m just hearing things maybe I’m finally listening ‘Cause my chest reacts before I think like it knows what this is [Chorus – light, floating, emotional] If this is the first time, why does it feel like I’ve been here before? If this is brand new, why's it feel like my body's already been through? I don’t need forever I don’t need to explain Just stay right here with me and— [Backing Vocal Drop – lead CUTS OUT] (“hold me again”) (“hold me again”) [ad-lib, soft, almost a smile] yeah… say it again (“hold me again”) (“hold me again”) [whispered under the stack] like we promised somewhere else Somewhere before Somewhere again [Verse 2 – warmer, more romantic, slightly more poetic] [soft chuckle] You laugh like you recognize me like you’ve seen me break before There’s a calm in the way you touch me like you know what I’m scared of Every kiss feels borrowed from a life I used to live It settles in my bones like it’s always been this So baby tonight, hold me close… [Pre-Chorus 2 – subtle variation] Maybe time is just a circle we’re standing in the bend Maybe love doesn’t start or end it just finds us again [Chorus 2 – fuller, still gentle] If this is the first time why does it feel like coming home? If this is only tonight why does my heart act like it knows? I don’t need the answers I don’t need a name Just stay in this moment while you— [Extended Backing Vocal Section – emotional centerpiece] (“hold me again”) (“hold me again”) [lead ad-libs, half-spoken] yeah… just like that don’t let go yet (“hold me again”) (“hold me again”) [softer, fading] I swear I’ve felt you before [Outro – fragmented lead, backing carries it out] Maybe this is the only life we get to feel this way Maybe love just slips through time and finds us when it can So baby just... (“hold me again”) Yeah just... (“hold me again”) [Spoken softly] Hold me again
