Intro – Female | whisper, close mic]
Don’t say my name
Just breathe… just stay
[Male | low, distant harmony]
(Stay… stay…)
⸻
[Verse 1 – Female | lead]
You look at me like you already know
Every thought I hide, every place I won’t go
I stand still, but my pulse don’t lie
It’s giving me away every time you sigh
[Harmony – Female | airy, under]
(Every time…)
[Ad-libs – Male | low]
Yeah… I see it
⸻
[Verse 1 – Male | lead, restrained]
You don’t rush me, that’s what hurts
You let the moment stretch and work
Every inch of space between
Feel heavier than anything
[Harmony – Male | octave down]
(Anything…)
[Ad-libs – Female | breathy]
Too close… too close
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – Overlap | rising tension]
Female:
You don’t touch, but I feel it
Male:
I don’t speak, but you hear it
Female:
Control slipping through my hands
Male:
Yeah, we both know where this lands
⸻
[Chorus – Both | stacked harmonies]
Female (lead):
You get under my skin, don’t even try
Male (harmony):
(Every stare cutting deep tonight)
Female:
Every pause too loud, every look collide
Male:
(I don’t fight it, I let it slide)
Both:
I don’t need your hands to feel that pull
It’s the way you move, it’s the way you rule
Female (top harmony):
Stay in my head
Male (low harmony):
Don’t let me in
Both:
Slow burn, can’t pretend
You get under my skin
⸻
[Verse 2 – Female | softer, confessional]
Room feel smaller every time you breathe
Like the walls lean in closer to me
I act calm, but I’m losing ground
Every silence louder than sound
[Harmony – Female | whisper layer]
(Louder than sound…)
[Ad-libs – Male]
I know… I know
⸻
[Verse 2 – Male | darker]
I don’t wanna rush what’s already tense
But patience starting to feel like defense
I bite my tongue, I stay composed
But my restraint wearing paper-thin
[Harmony – Male | grit layer]
(Paper-thin…)
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – Call & Response]
Male:
You don’t move, I feel it
Female:
You don’t speak, I hear it
Male:
Every breath pulling me in
Female:
Yeah… you under my skin
⸻
[Chorus – Both | heavier]
Female:
You get under my skin, slow and deep
Male:
Like a thought I can’t put to sleep
Female:
Every step closer, I lose my sense
Male:
I don’t stop it, I lean in
Both:
No escape, no defense
You get under my skin
⸻
[Bridge – Breakdown | minimal, dark]
Female (soft):
I don’t wanna be saved
Male:
I don’t wanna be clean
Female:
I just wanna stay right here
Male:
In the space between
Both (whisper stack):
If this ruins us…
Let it
⸻
[Final Chorus – Full Stack | emotional peak]
Female (lead):
You get under my skin, don’t pull away
Male (low harmony):
Every breath pulling me closer to stay
Female (upper harmony):
I don’t fight it, I let it win
Male:
I don’t stop it, I lean in
Both:
Slow burn, don’t pretend
You get under my skin
⸻
[Outro – Fading layers]
Female:
Don’t say my name
Male:
Just stay
Both (breathy, fading):
Stay…
