[Verse 1] Woke up to the colour of morning grey Coffee cold, your shadow still won’t fade I trace the lines where your fingers used to play On these old strings that only remember your name [Pre-Chorus] And every quiet streetlight knows I’m still walking the same road [Chorus] In my heart, There’s a beat If you follow along With my heart’s song With my heart’s song [Verse 2] Carved your initials in the willow tree But the river took the evidence from me Still I swear I hear your laugh in the leaves Like the wind’s been keeping all our secrets [Pre-Chorus] And every falling leaf confesses I’m still making the same old wishes [Chorus] In my heart, There’s a beat If you follow along With my heart’s song With my heart’s song [Bridge] Maybe someday you’ll come back this way Hear the melody that never really went away I’ll leave the porch light on, the back door cracked Just in case your wandering heart turns back [Final Chorus] In my heart, There’s a beat If you ever feel lost Come follow the beat Come follow the beat Of my heart’s song Oh my heart’s song My heart’s song [Outro] Just a beat… Just a beat… Still playing for you… Even when you’re gone

[Verse 1] Door creaks open to silence, supposed to feel like home Tried to hold on to feeling, but it's slipping from my bones Bills stacking high, lines cut dead, no dial tone Tap dripping its last, echoes in the quiet, all alone [Chorus] You called me when I was all outta love baby and prayed for me I was all outta luck baby you stayed with me It took me way too long to finally see I wasn't all outta luck Cause you prayed for me pray for me, pray for me [Verse 2] Sunrise creeps through the cracks, doesn't sting anymore Bones feel a little stronger, not so heavy on the floor Bills still waiting, but they don't accuse the same I'll tidy up and get to work and hope you call again [Chorus] You called me when I was all outta love baby and prayed for me I was all outta luck baby you stayed with me It took me way too long to finally see I wasn't all outta luck Cause you prayed for me pray for me, pray for me [Bridge] I'm not slippin' again, the fog has cleared I won't be drifting again, now I hear It's amazing how you knew I needed you [Chorus] You called me when I was all outta love baby and prayed for me I was all outta luck baby you stayed with me It took me way too long to finally see I wasn't all outta luck Cause you prayed for me pray for me, pray for me

[Verse 1] I'm staring at the ceiling again Counting all the mistakes I've made Every word I should have said then Is a ghost that refuses to fade The nights blend into endless grey Whispers of what could have been I chase the dawn to break away From the chains that pull me in [Chorus] But I'm breaking out of this cage tonight Running towards the morning light No more looking back at the shadows behind I'm leaving the old me to find A brand new start (oh-oh) A brand new heart (yeah) [Verse 2] The streets are empty and the air is cold But I've never felt more alive Stories that were never told Are the ones that help me survive Echoes of laughter in the wind Remind me of the fire within [Chorus] But I'm breaking out of this cage tonight Running towards the morning light But I'm breaking out of this cage tonight Running towards the morning light No more looking back at the shadows behind I'm leaving the old me to find A brand new start (oh-oh) A brand new heart (yeah) [Bridge] It's a long road ahead But I'm not afraid anymore Every tear that I shed Led me right to this door [Chorus] But I'm breaking out of this cage tonight Running towards the morning light No more looking back at the shadows behind I'm leaving the old me to find A brand new start (oh-oh) A brand new heart (yeah) [Outro] A brand new start (oh-oh) A brand new heart (yeah, yeah...) Breaking out... breaking free...

[Intro] Late night, lights low You know how this goes Push away, then you call Can't let you go... [Chorus] You pull me closer, then you push away One minute fire, next it's cold rain We dance this rhythm, night into day But I can't break free from your game Pull me closer (closer, yeah) Push and play (push and play) Heart's in motion, no escape You're my tidal wave, tidal wave (Yeah... uh...) [Verse 1] Late calls, your voice in my ear Say you miss me, draw me near Then morning comes, you're distant again Like the signal drops, no reply, no end I chase the vibe, you fade to black One touch, then gone, it's a fact But when you hit me back, it's electric Can't resist, yeah, you got me hectic (Uh... yeah) [Pre-Chorus] Why you do this every time? Got me caught up in your line One step forward, two steps back But I keep coming back (Bring it back... yeah) [Chorus] You pull me closer, then you push away One minute fire, next it's cold rain We dance this rhythm, night into day But I can't break free from your game Pull me closer (closer, yeah) Push and play (push and play) Heart's in motion, no escape You're my tidal wave, tidal wave [Verse 2] Eyes locked, you smile that way Know you got me in your sway Then you ghost, leave me in the haze Playing games in this maze I try to step back, give you space But your text lights up the place It's a cycle, yeah, we both know But the pull too strong, can't let go [Bridge] Tell me why we fight this fire When we both know we desire More than this back and forth One more chance, open the door (Yeah... open it... uh... closer...) [Final Chorus] You pull me closer, then you push away One minute fire, next it's cold rain We dance this rhythm, night into day But I can't break free from your game Pull me closer (closer, yeah, yeah) Push and play (push and play, uh) Heart's in motion, no escape You're my tidal wave, tidal wave [Outro] (Pull me... closer... yeah...)

[Verse 1] Shadows dancing on the wall, your eyes catch mine in the glow, Heartbeats syncing like a secret code we both know. You move closer, breath like a summer breeze tease, I'm the riddle you unravel, put your mind at ease. Twist of fate in the rhythm, no holding back tonight, Your touch electric, sparking up the midnight light. Whirlwind whispers, pulling me into your game, One step forward, and we're never the same. [Pre-Chorus] Build it slow, let the tension rise, Uno, dos, tres—feel the fire in your eyes. No hiding, no denying, the pull is so strong, Let it flow, let it go, where we both belong. [Chorus] Sway with me, under the neon sky, Bodies talking, no words, no why. Whispers in the beat, calling you near, I'm the flame, you're the spark, disappear. Sway with me, let the rhythm decide, Hearts colliding, no place to hide. Whispers in the beat, wild and free, You and I, in this mystery. [Verse 2] Laughter echoes like a hidden melody we share, Your smile's a challenge, daring me to dare. Curves of the night, tracing paths untold, I'm the wanderer, you're the story bold. Pulse quickens, like waves crashing shore, No scripts, just instincts, wanting more. Twirl in the chaos, lose control in the spin, One glance, and the adventure begins. [Pre-Chorus] Build it slow, let the tension rise, Uno, dos, tres—feel the fire in your eyes. No hiding, no denying, the pull is so strong, Let it flow, let it go, where we both belong. [Chorus] Sway with me, under the neon sky, Bodies talking, no words, no why. Whispers in the beat, calling you near, I'm the flame, you're the spark, disappear. Sway with me, let the rhythm decide, Hearts colliding, no place to hide. Whispers in the beat, wild and free, You and I, in this mystery. [Bridge] Hold up, slow it down, no rush in the air, Baila conmigo, feel the spark everywhere. (Yeah, uh-huh) No fight, just the thrill we ignite, Whisper soft, let it linger through the night. (Baila, baila) Uno-dos, hearts in sync, No end to the dance, what do you think? [Chorus] Sway with me, under the neon sky, Bodies talking, no words, no why. Whispers in the beat, calling you near, I'm the flame, you're the spark, disappear. Sway with me, let the rhythm decide, Hearts colliding, no place to hide. Whispers in the beat, wild and free, You and I, in this mystery. [Outro] [Fading vocal ad-libs] Sway... whispers... beat... (eh-eh, ah-ah) Uno-dos, feel it, yeah... (fade out with hums) No games, just us... sway... (I Also created a rough Chinese version which had a nice sound. I'd love to experiment with some Korean too) [Intro] (Spoken-rap) 说出来,感受我现在 [Verse 1] 阴影在墙上舞动,你的眼神捕捉我的光芒, 心跳同步像我们共享的秘密密码。 你靠近些,呼吸如夏风轻逗弄, 我是谜题你解开,让心灵安宁。 命运在节奏中扭转,今夜不退缩, 你的触碰如电流,点亮午夜光。 旋风低语,拉我进入你的游戏, 一步向前,我们永不相同。 [Pre-Chorus] 慢慢筑起,让张力上升, 一,二,三——感受你眼中火焰。 无隐藏,无否认,这拉力如此强, 让它流,让它走,我们所属之地。 [Chorus] 与我摇摆,在霓虹天空下, 身体对话,无言语,无缘由。 节拍中的低语,召唤你靠近, 我是火焰,你是火花,消失。 与我摇摆,让节奏决定, 心灵碰撞,无处可藏。 节拍中的低语,狂野自由, 你和我,在这谜团中。 [Verse 2] 笑声回荡如我们分享的隐藏旋律, 你的笑容是挑战,敢我去冒险。 夜晚的曲线,描绘未知路径, 我是游荡者,你是大胆故事。 脉搏加速,如浪击岸, 无剧本,仅本能,想要更多。 在混乱中旋转,失控在旋涡, 一眼,冒险开始。 [Pre-Chorus] 慢慢筑起,让张力上升, 一,二,三——感受你眼中火焰。 无隐藏,无否认,这拉力如此强, 让它流,让它走,我们所属之地。 [Chorus] 与我摇摆,在霓虹天空下, 身体对话,无言语,无缘由。 节拍中的低语,召唤你靠近, 我是火焰,你是火花,消失。 与我摇摆,让节奏决定, 心灵碰撞,无处可藏。 节拍中的低语,狂野自由, 你和我,在这谜团中。 [Bridge] 停下,慢下来,无急促在空气中, 与我共舞,感受火花处处。 (是的,嗯哼) 无争斗,仅我们点燃的刺激, 低语柔软,让它逗留在夜里。 (舞吧,舞吧) 一二,心跳同步, 舞蹈无止境,你怎么想? [Chorus] 与我摇摆,在霓虹天空下, 身体对话,无言语,无缘由。 节拍中的低语,召唤你靠近, 我是火焰,你是火花,消失。 与我摇摆,让节奏决定, 心灵碰撞,无处可藏。 节拍中的低语,狂野自由, 你和我,在这谜团中。 [Outro] [Fading vocal ad-libs] 摇摆... 低语... 节拍... (欸-欸,啊-啊) 一二,感受它,是的... (淡出伴哼唱) 无游戏,仅我们... 摇摆...

[Verse 1] I’ve been calling out your name in the dark Trying to reach you, but I’m missing the mark Words fall heavy, hit the walls, fall apart Silence answers every beat of my heart I give it all, pour it out till I’m empty But the room stays cold, you still don’t feel me Raise my voice higher, thinking you might turn All I get is the same lesson I never learn [Pre-Chorus] I scream, I plead, I beg the night To carry my truth into your line of sight But it bends, it breaks, it fades from view And comes right back like it never led me to you [Chorus/Hook] Echo, echo, echo, echo (Eh-ko, offbeat, layered and building) Echo, echo, echo, echo All I hear is my own voice coming back slow Echo, echo, echo, echo Trying to break through but it won’t let go Echo, echo, echo, echo Shouting your name but I’m still alone [Verse 2] Late night shadows dancing on my screen Typing messages you’ll never read, it seems Heart on the line, but the signal is weak Every “I miss you” just disappears when I speak I replay moments, wondering what went wrong Thought we were singing the same damn song Now I’m here performing for an empty crowd Voice getting hoarse but I’m still too proud [Pre-Chorus] I whisper, I cry, I fake a smile Hoping somehow you’ll feel it across the miles But it twists, it turns, it circles around Lands at my feet like it never left the ground [Chorus] Echo, echo, echo, echo Echo, echo, echo, echo All I hear is my own voice coming back slow Echo, echo, echo, echo Trying to break through but it won’t let go Echo, echo, echo, echo Shouting your name but I’m still alone [Bridge] Maybe I’m talking to a ghost in the wall Maybe my words were never meant to land at all I keep on throwing them into the air Watching them vanish like you were never there One day I’ll stop, let the silence win Save my breath, keep it all within Till then I’m caught in this endless sound Going in circles, never leaving the ground [Chorus] Echo, echo, echo, echo (Still alone… yeah) Echo, echo, echo, echo (My voice… my voice…) All I hear is my own voice coming back slow Echo, echo, echo, echo (Let it go… let it go…) Trying to break through but it won’t let go Echo, echo, echo, echo Shouting your name… but I’m still… Echo… echo… (fade out with vocal echoes)
