[Intro — BEAGLOW, intimate, breathy] Oh, no, no I know better now [TALA DUST — low spoken response] Mm-mm [BEAGLOW] I know better now [Verse 1 — BEAGLOW, warm low chest voice] I used to wait up for your call Read every silence like a sign Gave you the best parts of my heart While I was leaving mine behind I made excuses for your distance Called it love when it was doubt But something changed inside me I don't need to figure you out [Pre-Chorus — BEAGLOW lead, TALA DUST answering last words] If you wanna stay, then stay [TALA DUST] Then stay [BEAGLOW] If you wanna go, don't lie [TALA DUST] Don't lie [BEAGLOW] I won't chase another shadow I got too much life tonight [Chorus — BEAGLOW lead + TALA DUST low responses] [BEAGLOW] I won't hold you, hold you [TALA DUST] I won't ask you to [BEAGLOW] If your heart is somewhere else I won't lose me, lose me [TALA DUST] Don't lose yourself [BEAGLOW] Just to keep you for myself [BOTH — layered harmony] Go if you wanna go Love if you wanna love I don't need half of a heart I know I'm enough [BEAGLOW] I won't hold you, hold you [TALA DUST] No, don't hold me down [BEAGLOW] No, I won't hold you down If you're looking for the old me She ain't around [Post-Chorus — rhythmic call-and-response] [BEAGLOW] No more waiting, no, no [TALA DUST] No more waiting [BEAGLOW] No more maybe, no, no [TALA DUST] No more maybe [BEAGLOW] You can take your road [TALA DUST] I'll take mine [BOTH] I'm taking mine [BEAGLOW] No more waiting, no, no [TALA DUST] No more waiting [BEAGLOW] No more maybe, no, no [BOTH] I'm taking back My time, my time [Verse 2 — TALA DUST, deep gritty baritone, melodic Afro-rap phrasing] We had those nights under the moon Bare feet dancing in the heat Salt on our skin, your hands on mine Your heartbeat moving into me And I won't say it wasn't real Just because it couldn't stay Some love comes into your life To teach you how to walk away [Pre-Chorus — TALA DUST starts, BEAGLOW takes over] [TALA DUST] If you wanna stay, then stay But don't love me halfway [BEAGLOW] I have learned that lonely hearts Can still dance into a better day [Chorus — BOTH, alternating lead] [BEAGLOW] I won't hold you, hold you [TALA DUST] If your heart is somewhere else [BEAGLOW] I won't lose me, lose me [TALA DUST] Just to keep you for myself [BOTH] Go if you wanna go Love if you wanna love I don't need half of a heart I know I'm enough [BEAGLOW] I won't hold you, hold you [TALA DUST — low harmony] No, I won't hold you down [BEAGLOW] If you're looking for the old me [BOTH] She ain't around [Bridge — stripped down, BEAGLOW + TALA DUST intimate exchange] [BEAGLOW] Maybe I loved you [TALA DUST] Maybe I still do [BEAGLOW] Maybe a little part of me [BOTH — soft harmony] Will always remember you [BEAGLOW — music begins lifting] But I got sunlight on my shoulders [TALA DUST] And a new rhythm in my feet [BEAGLOW] I can miss what we were [BOTH — pause, then together] And still choose me [Instrumental Lift — Afro percussion, clean guitar, warm log drums, cinematic strings] [Final Chorus — BEAGLOW powerful lead + TALA DUST counter-vocal] [BEAGLOW] I won't hold you, hold you [TALA DUST] Baby, go and live your life [BEAGLOW] I won't lose me, lose me [TALA DUST] Just to keep you by my side [BOTH] Go if you wanna go Love if you wanna love I'm not afraid of tomorrow I know I'm enough [BEAGLOW] I won't hold you, hold you [TALA DUST] Look at me now [BEAGLOW] I didn't lose love [BOTH — full harmony] I found myself [Outro — percussion falling away] [BEAGLOW] No more waiting [TALA DUST] No more maybe [BEAGLOW] I found myself [TALA DUST] No more waiting [BEAGLOW] No more maybe [BOTH — final intimate harmony] I'm still here And I'm still dancing.
