[Intro / Opening Hook – sung softly, almost whispered] Yeah, it's late but the feeling don't sleep Heart on the line, no receipts We still up, we still up Chasing what we can't keep [Verse 1] Left the lights low, phone face down on the marble Memories hit different when the silence gets partial You text "you good?" I reply with a thumbs up emoji But inside it's a storm, tryna keep it all cozy I been moving through phases, upgrading the playlist New city, same taste, but the view feel the latest Friends say I'm distant, I say I'm just focused Pour another, let the ice do the talking, it's loaded They want the old me back, but that version retired Now I'm building empires while the doubts get expired Late nights in the stu, pen bleeding confessions Every bar like a mirror, facing my reflections [Pre-Chorus – building melody] And I know you feel it too When the beat drops low and the bass come through We don't gotta name it, just let it ride 'Cause the vibe never lies [Chorus – big, repeatable, layered harmonies] We still up, we still up, never folding under pressure Heart racing faster than the cars on the expressway We still up, we still up, turning moments to forever Even when tomorrow feels a million miles away (We still up, yeah) We still up, we still up Catch me in the zone where the real ones connect We still up [Verse 2] Pull up to the function, but I'm really just passing Smiles for the 'gram, but my mind somewhere classic Remember nights we would talk till the sunrise painted Now it's quick hellos, quick goodbyes, complicated I upgraded the whip, but the passenger seat empty Dreams feel closer, but the peace feel tempting They ask how I did it, I say faith and some patience Plus a couple late texts that turned into vacations No cap in my verses, just truth in the verses Learning how to lose less and cherish the surfaces You said you'd wait, but the clock keep advancing Now I'm wondering if timing ever really romancing [Pre-Chorus] And I know you feel it too When the night gets quiet and it's just me and you We don't gotta force it, just let it breathe 'Cause the best parts believe [Chorus] We still up, we still up, never folding under pressure Heart racing faster than the cars on the expressway We still up, we still up, turning moments to forever Even when tomorrow feels a million miles away (We still up, yeah) We still up, we still up Catch me in the zone where the real ones connect We still up [Bridge – slower, more vulnerable, almost spoken-sung] Sometimes I wonder if we ever get closure Or if we just keep running laps in the same exposure I ain't perfect, never claimed to be saintly But the way you used to look at me? That part still haunts me Maybe one day we'll cross paths accidental Laugh about the chaos, keep it light and essential Till then I'm out here, holding space in the quiet Hoping every sunrise brings a little more light in [Final Chorus – bigger, ad-libs layered] We still up, we still up (yeah, we still up) Never folding under pressure (no, no) We still up, we still up (forever, yeah) Turning moments to forever (still up) We still up, we still up Catch me in the zone... we still up [End]
