Heart talks

Intro)

(A warm, muted bassline starts, accompanied by the sound of a record crackling and a soft, rhythmic "skank" on a clean electric guitar)

(Yeah... let's be real for a minute)

(Ooh-ooh...)

​(Verse 1)

We’ve been dancing 'round the truth in this crowded room

Hiding all the shadows, chasing all the bloom.

But I can see the flicker in your tired eyes

We don’t need the makeup, we don’t need the lies.

I know I’ve been moving at a hundred miles

Hiding all my heavy behind plastic smiles.

​(Pre-Chorus)

(The beat begins to "thump" like a heartbeat)

So let’s turn the music down low

Let the rest of the world just go.

I’m ready to listen...

​(Chorus)

(The "Dancehall" bounce kicks in—relaxed but heavy)

I just wanna hear what your heart talks

When the lights go out and the world stops.

Don't gotta say a word, just let the beat drop

I’m listening to what your heart talks.

(Wine for me, baby, slow it down)

(We’re the only ones left in this town)

​(Verse 2)

(Sing this with a rhythmic, "Purpose" era flow)

Tell me 'bout the dreams that you’re scared to lose

Tell me 'bout the paths that you didn’t choose.

I’m a king in the streets, but I’m a man in your arms

I’ll keep you safe away from the alarms.

Yeah, we got that R&B soul with a tropical sway

Letting all the static just melt away.

​(Bridge)

(The music strips back to just a deep bass and a finger snap)

Speak to me, baby...

No more "I'm fine," no more "maybe."

I’m wide open, I’m focused on you

Tell me the things that we’re gonna go through.

​(Chorus)

I just wanna hear what your heart talks

When the lights go out and the world stops.

Don't gotta say a word, just let the beat drop

I’m listening to what your heart talks.
