[INTRO — shouted tag, immediate bass stab] K-K-K KYRODITH! Sorry—say that again. [VERSE 1 — confident female vocal, tight UK garage swing] You’re getting carried away With a subject I barely know. Using both hands to explain, Nearly knocking the glass below. I move it out of your reach. You don’t notice. Carry on. There’s a crease between your eyebrows When you think somebody’s wrong. [PRE-CHORUS — rising percussion, intimate melody] Then you stop. “Am I boring?” Are you joking? Keep talking. You lean back. Lose your place. I know why. It’s on my face. [CHORUS — huge melodic hook, warm and direct] You were saying? I was falling for you. Right in the middle Of your very strong point of view. You were saying? Please don’t shorten it. I love you getting excited, Forgetting to be self-conscious. Tell me the long version. I’ve got nowhere else to be. I like what happens to your voice When you stop trying to impress me. [DROP — massive rolling sub, chopped female hook] You were— You were saying? Go on. I’m staying. That voice. That face. Go on. Take your space. [VERSE 2 — playful, rhythmic delivery] Now you ask about my day. I say, “Nothing much.” You wait. Somehow twenty minutes later You know every name I hate. You remember who said what. Ask me how the meeting went. I’m so used to skipping details, I forget I don’t have to with you. [PRE-CHORUS — stripped kick and bass] I speed up. You sit closer. I say, “Anyway…” You say, “No, go on.” I’ve got more. You can tell. You want all The bits as well. [CHORUS — full female lead, stacked harmonies] You were saying? I was falling for you. Right in the middle Of your very strong point of view. You were saying? Please don’t shorten it. I love you getting excited, Forgetting to be self-conscious. Tell me the long version. I’ve got nowhere else to be. I like what happens to your voice When you stop trying to impress me. [BRIDGE — tender sung vocal, bass keeps moving] I want your second thoughts. The things you haven’t worded. You can change your mind halfway; I won’t hold you to the first bit. Then you get very quiet. Say, “There’s something else.” You take so long to say “I love you,” I nearly say it first myself. [FINAL DROP — explosive breakbeat fills, call and response] You were saying? “I love you.” One more time? “I love you.” My turn. Come nearer. I love you. Was that clearer? [OUTRO — close female vocal, final bass hit] Now— What were we talking about?
