[Intro: mechanical rhythm, bouncing bass] [Verse 1: playful syncopated baritone] Two lanes squeezing into one Everybody racing for the sun I could close the gap and win a foot Or let somebody in, like someone should [Pre-Chorus: interlocking guitar lines] One from yours and one from mine Funny how we move in time [Chorus: bright interwoven harmonies] We fit together like zipper teeth Making room for what's underneath You don't have to lose your place To give another person space [Octave lift] A thousand moving pieces flow When everybody lets somebody go [Break: alternating 5/4 bass and 4/4 drums] [Verse 2: melodic conversational] At the counter, someone's running late I let them pass, it's fine to wait Some days I'm the one who needs A little grace from someone else's speed [Bridge: half-time vocal duet] (What if everyone takes?) Nothing moves (What if everyone gives?) We all get through [Final Chorus: soaring vocal stacks] We fit together like zipper teeth Not in competition, but in peace The road gets wider when we learn To let each other have a turn [Outro: interlocking guitar harmonics]
