Don't Turn Around

Don’t Turn Around [Verse 1] I stay three steps behind the light, Far enough to disappear at night. You check the glass in every store, I stop before you reach the door. Hands in pockets, head down low, Moving where the streetlights glow. You feel a shadow, nothing more, Just one more stranger on the road. [Pre-Chorus] Don’t make it obvious. Don’t move too fast. Let every second Stretch and pass. You hear a footstep. Then hear none. You tell yourself You’re almost home. [Build] One block. Two blocks. Heartbeat climbs. Street goes quiet. Perfect time. You look left. You look right. You never see me leave the light. [Chorus] Don’t turn around. Don’t turn around. You know that feeling when there’s no one there but sound. Don’t turn around. Keep your eyes ahead. You think you lost me. You haven’t yet. [Verse 2] You pick up pace, I slow mine down, Let distance swallow half the town. You cross the street, I wait behind, Like I was never on your mind. Your phone lights up. Your hands still shake. You laugh it off for comfort’s sake. One final corner. One locked gate. You almost made it. Almost. [Pre-Drop] Heartbeat louder. Breathing tight. Rain stops falling. Streetlight dies. You reach the door. Your key won’t turn. And now... You finally learn. Too late. [Drop] Run. Run. Run. No more shadows. No more games. Now you know who knows your name. Run. Run. Run. You heard me once. You should’ve known. Now every street will lead you home. [Verse 3] Now every alley twists and bends, Every dead end starts again. Your breath is fire, your legs give out, The city finally loses sound. No witnesses. No passing cars. Only rain and neon scars. You hear one footstep close behind. Then none. [Final Build] Three. Two. One. You turn. [Final Drop] Found you. Found you. Found you. Run if you can. Hide if you dare. Every dark corner knows I’m there. Found you. Found you. Found you. Too late now to make a sound. I was behind you all along. [Outro] Don’t turn around. Don’t turn around. You already did.
