(Mid-tempo R&B / Neo Soul vibe — think H.E.R. meets Anthony Hamilton meets Ari Lennox with a splash of D’Angelo. Gritty live bass, soulful electric piano, light trap drums, vocal layering on chorus.)

[Intro]
I knew I liked you when we talked like that.
And you ain’t run from nothin’.
You smiled right back.
Said, “I don’t lie, I don’t pretend.”
That’s when I knew.
We could begin.
---
[Verse 1 – Garnett]
Met her scrollin’ through the static.
Red dress. Mississippi magic.
She said, “I been single four years straight.
Ain’t rushin’, baby, I just wait.”
We both raised kids, know the real pain.
Still here, both grown, both sane.
Told her, “I see you like Sunday dinner—
Make a man feel full and a lil’ bit thinner.”
She laughed.
Said, “You crazy, but I feel that.”
I said, “Nah, I mean that. You built like
A soft place a man can heal at.”
---
[Pre-Chorus – Sylvia]
I’m not a girl playin’ games in your thread,
I’m a woman who been lonely in her bed.
So don’t open me up then disappear.
If you here, then be here. Stay clear.
---
[Chorus – Both]
When we talk like that
It ain’t no filter, no cap, no mask.
It’s deep like scars that never passed.
But it feel so good. So real. So fast.
When we talk like that.
You don’t hide, and I don’t hold back.
A little sexy, a little bit cracked.
But we both still stand. Ain’t nothin’ we lack.
When we talk like that…

[Verse 2 – Sylvia]
He said he from Flint but he Dallas strong.
Told me life been short, pain been long.
He said, “You remind me of my peace,
Like a soft voice that make hard days cease.”
I told him, “Boy, don’t be sweet if you sour,
Don’t build me up then ghost me an hour.”
He said, “You built like truth and thighs.
I’m a man, but you see through lies.”
I like that.
Told him don’t play with me.
He said, “I been played too,
That’s why I speak so free.”
---
[Bridge – Garnett Spoken Word over beat]
You wear them glasses like armor.
But I see them eyes, mama.
You don’t want no boy who pretend to listen.
You want a man who hears your silence and still don’t go missin’.
I got you. That’s it.
No pressure, no script.
Let’s vibe. Let’s dip.
---
[Breakdown – Both, layered vocals]
We talkin' future.
We talkin' real.
We talkin' love,
That touch and heal.
No timeline.
No disguise.
We meet in truth,
No alibis.
---
[Final Chorus – Both, then harmonized]
When we talk like that
It ain’t no games, no need to act.
We laugh, we flirt, we call each other back.
We want all love, not half that pack.
When we talk like that.
No fear, no shame in our past.
Two full people, no need to fast-track.
We both been hurt, but this don’t feel whack…
When we talk like that.
---
[Outro – Garnett softly]
Don’t stop talking, girl.
It’s how I know you still here.
