Who Are You?

[Verse 1]
You’re humming in the kitchen
Wearing my old sweater
Laughing at a story
Like we’ve always been together
I trace your little habits
Coffee cup
The way you stir
I know your favorite movie
But I don’t know who you are
[Pre-Chorus]
You say you’re “fine”
Every time
But there’s thunder in your eyes
I’ve loved this mask
For so long
I forgot to ask you why
[Chorus]
Who are you?
Under all that easy smiling
Under all the “I’m alright” and
All the ways you fit the room
Who are you?
When the party fades to quiet
When you’re standing in the silence
Do you ever tell the truth?
’Cause I’m lying next to someone
And I don’t know who
Who are you?
[Drop]
[Chopped vocal: “Who are you
Who are you
Who are you” over rising synths]
[Massive melodic hit
Side-chained chords swelling and releasing]
[Verse 2]
You answer every question
With a question of your own
Turn every dark confession
Into a clever joke you throw
I’ve seen your Sunday sunshine
I’ve held your midnight shake
But every time I reach inside
It’s like you’re pulling shade
[Pre-Chorus]
You say “it’s alright
It’s alright”
But your hands are holding tight
If love’s a light
Turn yours on
Let it hit me in the eyes
[Chorus]
Who are you?
Under all that easy smiling
Under all the “I’m alright” and
All the ways you hide the proof
Who are you?
When the mirror feels like pressure
When the past is right there with you
Do you ever tell the truth?
’Cause I’m lying next to someone
And I don’t know who
Who are you?
[Drop]
[Second drop
Brighter chords
Extra vocal chops echoing “tell the truth”]
[Wide pads bloom
Drums pull back for a bar then slam back in]
[Bridge]
Maybe I loved
Who I drew in my head
A version of you
That you never really met
If I open this door
Will you walk through?
If I give you my name
Will you give me you? (yeah)
[Chorus]
Who are you?
If you stripped away the stories
If you laid down all your worries
Would I even know the view?
Who are you?
Can you meet me in the open
Every scar and every moment
I just want the honest you
’Cause I’m lying next to someone
And I want it to be you
Who are you? (who are you?)

Lush future bass with bright detuned chords, filtered intro piano, and airy vocal chops blooming into a big side-chained drop. Male vocals up front, intimate in the verses then soaring in the hook, with falsetto stacks on key lines. First drop hits with chopped lead built from the chorus phrase, second drop adds wider pads, extra percussive sparkle, and a lifted final refrain that feels like a question hanging in the air., emotional, male vocals
