[VERSE 1 — CLOSE-MIC / ETHEREAL / MINIMAL TRIP-HOP / COLD SUB] Whooooo are youuuuu? [LONG REVERB / ECHO: “youuuuu…”] Do you come this way often? Although my life revolves around a carousel, I often think if you've ever felt this way. [SOFT KICK ENTERS / DISTANT RIM CLICK] Maybe I'm asking too fast. You barely talk. I may be oversharing. I just feel too much… [BEAT THINS] I'm numb to the point of view where you have a life without me. Yet how can that be? If I'm nowhere where I want to be. [SHORT SILENCE] [CHORUS — HYPNOTIC / WIDER VOCAL / GLASSY SYNTHS] It's so sad, I can't be there with you. It makes me realize you have a life… [PAUSE] One that you love. A whole world that doesn't need me to keep turning. [LOW GHOST HARMONY] And me? Well… I'm just in unaware sonder. Knowing there's more of you than I will ever know. And maybe… that's all I'm supposed to know. [REVERB BLOOM / BEAT FALLS AWAY] [VERSE 2 — INTIMATE / DUSTY DRUMS / REVERSED PIANO] There are mornings I'll never see. Stories that began before you ever met me. Parts of you that belong to places I've never been. Memories I don't need to understand. [SUBTLE PSYCHEDELIC PAN] And maybe there's a side of you I've been writing about that doesn't even exist at all. Maybe I filled in what I couldn't know. Maybe I wanted closeness so badly I mistook imagination for somewhere I belonged. [INSTRUMENTAL BREATH / DELAYED VOCAL TAIL] [BRIDGE — NEAR-SPOKEN / BEAT ALMOST GONE / BASS PULSE ONLY] All of a sudden, I saw it clearly. You have others that love you dearly… You have a life that was already yours. And unaware sonder will have to do while I realize I fell for you… Ohh… [LONG FLOATING ECHO] I'll take that realization with me, deep into my memory, without needing to make you mine just because you mattered to me. [VOICE ALMOST WHISPERED] Maybe that's what hurts. Nothing happened. Nothing broke. I just finally saw what was always true. [LONG SILENCE / CAROUSEL-LIKE DETUNED KEYS ENTER] [OUTRO — ALMOST WEIGHTLESS / SPOKEN / ETERNAL REVERB] I’m becoming aware of your entire world while remaining unaware of almost everything inside it. And when the carousel finally stops... [SIGH] You'll have somewhere to go. A life that already knows your name. And I'll still be standing here... not asking it to make room for me. Just holding a sonder I don't want to know. [FINAL WORDS FADE INTO REVERB / ROOM TONE / NO DRUMS]
