[Verse 1]
If you think love lives in the brush of her lips
Then you miss what hides behind the moon’s eclipse
Ain’t the high or the sweetness of a cocaine drip
It’s buried beneath where the lonely find solace — and slip
Ain’t just the sway in the curve of her hips
It’s the echo that lingers in the words of her lips
Don’t ever fall for the one with the poet’s pen
‘Cause your name becomes a song — again and again
His heart’s just a verse as he writes in his locked room
Yeah, this one right here? It’s a different tune
[Verse 2]
Mirror, mirror, on the wall
Can you tell me how this one gonna fall?
Love in a mirror, it bends what you see
Some folks just run, no love story ever came easy
They grab their coat and stomp the ground
Saying, “I won’t be love’s fool — not here, not now.
But sometimes the storm in her voice ain’t spite
Look out in the cold — she’s gone for the night
She’s searching for that fool who will hold her tonight.
So boy, take this weight — watch as I flip this script
Now just wait, hold on — here comes the twist
[Chorus]
And the tide — you can feel it rolling in
While the truth, it don’t care where you’ve gone or where you’ve been
Oh the tide, it just keeps pulling in
And yeah man, the truth — it always wins
It don’t knock first, and it won’t resist
You won’t ever see it coming… till the twist
[Verse 3]
She slips through the door in the hush before dawn
Boots hit the floor — but her heartbeat’s gone
Now you’re pacing, aching, grinding your teeth
Tryna decode what’s buried beneath
The voicemails play from a dusty machine
You trace her goodbyes in the space in between
That pain in your jaw starts to tick like a clock
You let it out slow on a midnight walk
Passing the alley, the lights, the bars, the band—
Where’d she vanish? Where’s does our story tail end?
[Bridge]
Now you see what she stirred when her body swayed
How the balance broke, and the silence prayed
Ain’t in the rules you thought you knew
It’s in that empty house I still can’t believe I gave to you.
Her mystery’s carved out of dark secrecy
You wanted song— so I sang it to you in poetry
Now she’s just another name on a long-given list
So just wait, my friend — here comes that twist
[Chorus]
And the tide — you can feel it rolling in
While the truth, it don’t care where you’ve gone or where you’ve been
Oh the tide, it just keeps pulling in
And yeah man, the truth — it always wins
It don’t knock first, and it won’t resist
You won’t ever see it coming… till the twist
[Outro, Fading groove]
(Ahh ahh ahh)
Now were dancing to a different tune
(Yeah yeah)
Are you starting to hear the music too?
