Siren in My Chest (Version 2)

Intro

Chest keeps beating to the light

Verse 1 – male vocal with warm, laid-back English phrasing

I used to think that rhythm had an end

Now it's in my skin and in my chest again

Your hand touches mine beneath the sunbeam bright

Every step we take feels right

Pre-Chorus

The bassline turns into a siren call

Pulse keeps rising, don't let me fall

I'm floating on your shoulderbone tonight

Lost inside the undertow of this light

Chorus – warm tenor with soulful ad-libs layered on top

Catch the wave that's moving us tonight

Every heartbeat feels like it might just ignite

You're my anchor in the undertow

Hold me close until the sky goes slow

Verse 2

Salt and static, sweat on your skin

I'm chasing sunsets down to the end of this rhythm within

Your fingers brush mine through the heat haze

Every step is a new place to be

Pre-Chorus

The bassline turns into a siren call

Pulse keeps rising, don't let me fall

I'm floating on your shoulderbone tonight

Lost inside the undertow of this light

Chorus – warm tenor with soulful ad-libs layered on top

Catch the wave that's moving us tonight

Every heartbeat feels like it might just ignite

You're my anchor in the undertow

Hold me close until the sky goes slow

Bridge – stripped back to just lead vocal and piano

No need for a reason when this feeling takes over

Just let go and let the current pull you higher

Chorus – warm tenor with soulful ad-libs layered on top

Catch the wave that's moving us tonight

Every heartbeat feels like it might just ignite

You're my anchor in the undertow

Hold me close until the sky goes slow
