[Female repeats: “By my side, side, side”] [Marimba hook answers] [MALE VERSE — 8 bars] [Keep drums, guitar and bass moving] Long week, empty road, You called me and said, “Let’s go.” No map, half a tank, Wind in your hair, no looking back. Streetlights getting small, We don’t need them anymore. One turn, ocean view, Now the whole night feels brand new. [PRE-CHORUS — 4 bars] [Female response; add handclaps] No plans, no place to hide. Just the rhythm, you and I. Don’t stop, we have all night. Come and move from side to side.

No words, no goodbyes, I can see it in your eyes. Warm wind, open sky, Let the morning wait outside. One beat, then another, We keep moving with each other. [SHORT BRIDGE — 4 bars] [Remove kick; keep shaker and guitar] [Male] Stay right here. [Female] I’m not going anywhere. [Both] Let the rhythm take us there.
