[Verse 1 – slow, brooding guitar] Sun through the blinds on your corner desk, You don’t even look, but you know I’m obsessed. Dark skin glow in the cold white light, We play like strangers in plain sight. Perfect smile for the workday crowd, But your eyes get loud when no one’s around. Tiny waist in that business fit, Whole damn room don’t know we sin in it. [Pre-Chorus – tension rising] We don’t talk much where the cameras see, But your subtle moves keep callin’ me. One little glance turn my blood to fire, We both pretend, but we both wired. [Chorus – full rock hit] We gotta hide it, every touch, every kiss, In a world full of rules we don’t exist like this. Behind closed doors, we come alive, Two locked hearts in a nine-to-five disguise. Yeah, we deny it in the bright daylight, But in the dark we don’t need alibis. We gotta hide it… but we can’t let go. [Verse 2 – heavier drums] Elevator silence, skin on fire, Your reflection smilin’ like a quiet liar. Fingers brush like an accident made, Whole floor clueless to the game we play. Emails read like coded desire, Every “per my last” just feedin’ the fire. Coffee break but our pulse don’t rest, We professional on the outside, reckless in the chest. [Pre-Chorus 2] HR rules in the back of my head, But your name louder than the words they said. We walk that line like it’s paper-thin, One wrong step and the truth break in. [Chorus – bigger, louder] We gotta hide it, every touch, every kiss, In a world full of rules we don’t exist like this. Behind closed doors, we come alive, Two locked hearts in a nine-to-five disguise. Yeah, we deny it in the bright daylight, But in the dark we don’t need alibis. We gotta hide it… but we can’t let go. [Bridge – breakdown, raw vocals] After hours, the office breath slow, City still buzzin’ but the lights burn low. Your jacket fall, my hands start to shake, Every risk we take is a risk we take. We both know what we stand to lose, Reputations, names, and futures too— But when your lips say my name like that, I forget the world, I don’t look back. [Final Chorus – emotional peak] We gotta hide it, scars in our smiles, Livin’ two lives in these fluorescent miles. Behind closed doors, we fall apart, Put our clothes back on and bury the sparks. Yeah, we deny it in the morning light, Pass like strangers but we know the fight. We gotta hide it… but it owns our souls. [Outro – stripped guitar, slow fade] Tomorrow morning we’ll play our roles, Coffees in hand, hearts on hold. But every wall in this office knows… We the secret nobody supposed to know.
