Echoes We Don't Name

Verse

Sample loops through the amber haze

You mouth the words half a beat before it plays

Four feet of floor keep your hip from mine

Same three syllables, every time

Someone shifts and the gap goes thin

Your shoulder leans but it don't lean in

The hook comes back like it's calling your name

I let it answer for me again

Pre-Chorus

Is it the track or the pull in your spine

Do we wait for the echo or make it mine

Chorus

Echoes we don't name

Same word, again and again

Echoes we don't name

Close but we don't reach, don't explain

Verse

Pitch bends up when the low end drops

Your eyes find mine right where the sample stops

Crowd folds round us, keeps us penned

A silence with a shape we won't defend

Hands stay loose at your side, at mine

Palms an inch from crossing the line

Bass climbs back and steals the air

We let the echo do what we don't dare

Pre-Chorus

Is it the track or the pull in your spine

Do we wait for the echo or make it mine

Chorus

Echoes we don't name

Same word, again and again

Echoes we don't name

Close but we don't reach, don't explain

Bridge

Then the music drops out cold

Just the room, just breath, just hold

No hook left to hide behind

Only the quiet, yours and mine

Chorus

Echoes we don't name

Same word, again and again

Echoes we don't name

Close but we don't reach, don't explain
