Whispers on the Four Count (Version 2)

Verse

Bass too loud for a single word

So you count it soft, the only sound I've heard

One on my shoulder, two on my spine

Three where your mouth just grazes mine

Floor's too packed to say what we mean

So we trade in numbers, quiet between

Four goes missing under the drum

You lean back in when the four should come

Pre-Chorus

Is it a secret or just the beat

Do you feel it too, down in your feet

Chorus

Whisper the count on the four

Lean in close, say no more

Whisper the count on the four

Skin knows what the words are for

Whisper the count on the four

Lost in the noise, found on the floor

Whisper the count on the four, on the four

Verse

Strobe cuts your face into pieces of light

One two three, you disappear then you're right

Back at my ear like you never left

Counting the gap where I hold my breath

Crowd folds in and the room gets small

Your voice is a hum I can barely recall

But four lands soft right against my jaw

Every time like the first time, no flaw

Pre-Chorus

Is it a secret or just the beat

Do you feel it too, down in your feet

Chorus

Whisper the count on the four

Lean in close, say no more

Whisper the count on the four

Skin knows what the words are for

Whisper the count on the four

Lost in the noise, found on the floor

Whisper the count on the four, on the four

Bridge

Maybe it's not the words we keep

Maybe it's just how close we lean

One two three, held in the deep

Four is the only truth between

Chorus

Whisper the count on the four

Lean in close, say no more

Whisper the count on the four

Skin knows what the words are for

Whisper the count on the four

Lost in the noise, found on the floor

Whisper the count on the four, on the four
