[Intro | melodic bass line and tight dry drums enter with piano, tambourine on the backbeat, warm soul groove] [Male] Afternoon light in your red hair. [Female] Our eyes meet — the station disappears. [Male & Female] Bodies meet. [Verse 1 | tender intimate vocals over melodic singing bass, rhythm guitar stabs, tight pocket drums, piano in the gaps] [Male] Your body falls into mine, [Female] you land softly in my arms. [Male] Muscles going soft — [Female] I let my shield come down. [Male] Two hearts laid bare, [Male & Female] two steady flames in the wind. [Chorus | drums lift, passionate soaring duet vocals, fuller melodic bass, Hammond B3 enters, tambourine driving, stacked harmonies as color] [Female] The world opens before my eyes — [Male] you meet me with nothing held back. [Female] Time folds itself around us. [Male & Female] Unafraid, I lean in. [Verse 2 | warm loving close vocals, same tight pocket, singing bass line upfront, drums never drop away] [Male] Morning, still warm from the night. [Female] Talk winding like a river. [Male] I get up to fetch the phone — [Male] on the way I lay my hand on your chest [Female] and feel your heart. [Male] All that I feel [Male & Female] I have no words for. [Chorus | full soul chorus, passionate soaring duet vocals, driving drums, melodic bass and Hammond swell, stacked harmonies as color] [Female] The world opens before my eyes — [Male] you meet me with nothing held back. [Female] Time folds itself around us. [Male & Female] Unafraid, I lean in. [Bridge | drums drop to heartbeat kick and soft snare, sparse piano, hushed fragile vocals building to intense, bass goes lean then swells back] [Female] Mid-sentence your gaze shifts, [Male] my eyes are welling — [Female] then the room goes still. [Male] Something comes quietly. [Male] It touches someone we've never met, [Female] and something we carry but have never seen. [Verse 3 | luminous band returns, radiant tender duet vocals interweaving freely, singing bass and rhythm guitar underneath] Morning light falls golden through you, shadows drawing back from the table. For a moment it flickers — two loving figures at your side. I open my arms — speechless I lean in. [Final Chorus | biggest soul lift, full-hearted powerful duet vocals, driving drums and tambourine, golden Hammond, fullest melodic bass, stacked harmonies as color, wide and warm] [Female] The world opens before my eyes — [Male] you meet me with nothing held back. [Female] Time folds itself around us. [Male & Female] In your love I see myself [Male & Female] and the world in the light of forgiveness. [Outro | drums ease, melodic bass and piano keep the groove then fade with Hammond, soft devoted vocals] [Male] It was only meant to be us two, a weekend — [Female] a weekend woven from past and future. [Male] The doors close, the bus pulls away. [Male] I stay standing at the station [Male & Female] and see the world in a new light. [End]
