[Intro – hazy synth loop, soft guitar shimmer, distant vocal hums] Mm-mm Mm-mm You barely touched me That was enough [Verse 1 – low baritone, loose conversational cadence] Shoulder to shoulder, crowded room Your thumb brushed once and changed the temperature Nothing dramatic, nothing to prove Just one small contact and my body knew Now I’m carrying the outline Like pressure after something moves A phantom shape along my wrist Where your fingers passed through I tried to laugh it off Tried to call it chemistry But my nerves keep holding meetings Without inviting me And I want that I want that I want that back Yeah I want that back [Pre-Chorus – melody rises, drums opening] Tell me what you call it When a touch outlives the hand When your body keeps a record Your mind can’t understand I’ve been awake past three again Replaying half a second [Chorus – wide, euphoric, layered vocals] I’m starving for somatic contact I’m craving that neural affection Give me one more accidental moment One more beautiful malfunction I’m starving for somatic contact I’m craving that neural affection I don’t even need a promise Just that involuntary reaction (Neural affection) (Neural affection) I just want that feeling back [Post-Chorus – instrumental blooms] Back, back I want that feeling back Mm-mm Mm-mm [Verse 2 – same groove, more introspective] Everybody else feels muted Like the signal lost its range Hands land where yours landed But the message isn’t the same I’ve learned the shape of imitation How close can still be counterfeit How somebody can hold you And your body won’t acknowledge it Maybe that’s the cruel part You didn’t leave a wound to see You left a new calibration And nothing reaches me correctly So I want that I want that I want that back Not you Maybe not you Just that [Pre-Chorus – more exposed] Tell me what you call it When the body won’t move on When one brief piece of contact Keeps transmitting after it’s gone 4 a.m., ceiling fan Counting every revolution [Chorus – larger vocal stack] I’m starving for somatic contact I’m craving that neural affection Give me one more accidental moment One more beautiful malfunction I’m starving for somatic contact I’m craving that neural affection I don’t even need a promise Just that involuntary reaction (Neural affection) (Neural affection) I just want that feeling back [Bridge – beat drops out, filtered vocal, intimate] Maybe I never missed your hand Maybe I missed What happened to me When it found mine Maybe wanting you Was only my body Trying to return To a temperature It remembers [brief silence] [Final Chorus – euphoric, huge synths, stacked harmonies] I’M STARVING FOR SOMATIC CONTACT I’M CRAVING THAT NEURAL AFFECTION Give me that split-second language That wordless recognition I’M STARVING FOR SOMATIC CONTACT I’M CRAVING THAT NEURAL AFFECTION No future No promise Just make my nervous system BELIEVE YOU AGAIN (Neural affection) (Neural affection) I want that feeling back Back Back [Outro – instruments continue, vocal gradually dissolves] My body kept the message Long after you stopped sending it Mm-mm Mm-mm
