Uuuh
Aaaa
I had the chalk I had the board
Thought I knew what I was fighting for

I mapped it out like a perfect line
Variables dancing in my mind
Tried to graph where you might be
But love don’t fit no geometry

Slopes and curves they lied to me
No formula for what you see
You’re that value off the grid
And I solved what no one ever did

Every X I tried to crack
Led me closer no way back
Thought I had it all misread
But you were waiting up ahead

You don’t know how many Xs I had to break
To get one inch closer to Y (uh-huh)
I carried numbers like they were names
Till the moment you met my eye (ooooh)
It’s a mess of signs and endless tries
But now your logic redefines (yeaaah)
You don’t know how many Xs I had to face
Just to solve for a single Y

(Uuh uuh — that single Y)
(Aaah all those Xs I tried)

Circle back erase the trace
You’re the answer that now holds its place
I tried dividing all the pain
But you were constant in the rain

Was it sine or just a sign?
You curved in at the perfect time
I drew a heart inside the square
And this time you were really there

I factored in the nights alone
Calculated love unknown
But this equation found its truth
When all the numbers pointed to you

I reduced and simplified
You multiplied what’s deep inside
Left the questions in the dust
Now the formula is us

You don’t know how many Xs I had to break
To find the one and only Y (yeah yeah)
I carried numbers like they were names
But you gave meaning to the why (no no)
It’s a mess of signs and endless tries
Now it all aligns no need to lie (uh-huh)
You don’t know how many Xs I had to face
Just to solve for a single Y

(Uuh that final Y)
(Aaaah no more Xs I…)

Maybe you were undefined
In the limits of my mind
An asymptote I chased in vain
Till you stood right in the frame

You don’t know how many Xs I had to break
To stand here holding onto Y
I carried numbers like they were weights
But now the answer meets the sky
The signs were loud the tries were wild
But now I see the reason why
You don’t know how many Xs I had to face
Just to know that Y was you

(Uuh you’re my Y)
(Aaaah it’s always been you)

So I drop the pen the work is done
You were the proof the only one
No more math no more try
You’re my answer — you’re my Y

Bills on the counter
Dreams on the line
Love came with lessons
I signed every time

I used to ask for reasons
Every time plans fell apart
Now I save my questions
For the rooms inside my heart

Some people came with flowers
Some came with unpaid pain
Some gave me a lesson
And never used my name

I had a younger version
Who wanted every door
Now I need less approval
And I sleep a little more

I do not call it failure
When I learn what I can hold
Some gold comes wrapped as pressure
Some truth arrives cold

I been down to my last dollar
Still made dinner for a friend
I been tired past the limit
Still got up again

I do not need a reason
For every turn I take
I just keep my balance
When the floor starts to shake

I take what life hands me
Sweet heavy real
Some days come easy
Some days make me feel

I bend I don’t break
I give I still choose
I lose what I outgrow
I win when I move

I take what life hands me
No perfect plan
I’m softer I’m stronger
I know where I stand

I learned love can be simple
And still not be enough
I learned peace has a price tag
But so does holding up

My mama said be patient
My pride said be wise
My body knew the answer
Before I opened my eyes

I made friends with my limits
I made space for my needs
I stopped calling it selfish
When I wanted to breathe

I keep a little humor
For the hardest kind of day
If joy knocks once a month
I still let it stay

I been down to my last dollar
Still made dinner for a friend
I been tired past the limit
Still got up again

I do not need a reason
For every turn I take
I just keep my balance
When the floor starts to shake

I take what life hands me
Sweet heavy real
Some days come easy
Some days make me feel

I bend I don’t break
I give I still choose
I lose what I outgrow
I win when I move

I take what life hands me
No perfect plan
I’m softer I’m stronger
I know where I stand

I do not owe the past
A seat beside my plate
I can love what happened
And still close that gate

I do not rush my healing
I do not fake my pace
I can carry history
Without wearing its face

I found grace after losing
I found room after no
I found out life keeps giving
When I let some things go

I take what life hands me
Sweet heavy real
Some days come easy
Some days make me feel

I bend I don’t break
I give I still choose
I lose what I outgrow
I win when I move

I take what life hands me
No perfect plan
I’m softer I’m stronger
I know where I stand

I take what life hands me
I know where I stand
I’m softer I’m stronger
I know where I stand

Bills on the counter
Dreams on the line
Life came with lessons
I signed every time

We’re tracing cracks across the floor
Where we danced before the walls wore thin
Time doesn’t heal it just rearranges
And I’m still finding pieces of where we’ve been

You said forever but forever’s a lie
A shadow that lingers when the sun says goodbye
I’m holding on but I’m losing my grip
On the edge of a memory I let it slip

We built a world that couldn’t last
A house of cards in a hurricane’s path
Now I’m sifting through the aftermath
Of a love that burned too bright too fast
(Oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh)

The clock keeps ticking but it feels so slow
Every second’s a weight I can’t let go
I see your face in every crowded room
A ghost of a love that met its doom

You said forever but forever’s a lie
A shadow that lingers when the sun says goodbye
I’m holding on but I’m losing my grip
On the edge of a memory I let it slip

We built a world that couldn’t last
A house of cards in a hurricane’s path
Now I’m sifting through the aftermath
Of a love that burned too bright too fast
(Oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh)

And if I could turn back the hands
Would I choose to love you again?
Or let the silence win
And never begin?

We built a world that couldn’t last
A house of cards in a hurricane’s path
Now I’m sifting through the aftermath
Of a love that burned too bright too fast
(Oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh)

I’m tracing cracks across the floor
But I can’t find us there anymore

Shoes off by the door
Got that first-day heat
Screen door slams behind me
Bare feet on the street
I had a long cold week
Now the sky says go
Your laugh on my tongue
Like a soft encore

Oh it’s coming on fast
Like a wave in my chest
I can feel it now
I don’t need to guess

Summer starts I’m happy
Summer starts I’m here
Take my hand come closer
Keep that feeling near
Summer starts I’m happy (happy)
Summer starts right here
We can run forever
Let it stay all year

Cold drinks on the curb
Melting in the sun
You got that easy grin
Like the day’s just begun
Kids yelling down the block
Ice cream on our shirts
Nothing on the calendar
Nothing but this world

Oh it’s coming on fast
Like a wave in my chest
I can feel it now
I don’t need to guess

Summer starts I’m happy
Summer starts I’m here
Take my hand come closer
Keep that feeling near
Summer starts I’m happy (happy)
Summer starts right here
We can run forever
Let it stay all year

We don’t need a reason
We don’t need a plan
Just the open air
And your warm hand
If the night moves slowly
Let it take its time
I found my little forever
In the yellow shine

Summer starts I’m happy
Summer starts I’m here
Take my hand come closer
Keep that feeling near
Summer starts I’m happy (happy)
Summer starts right here
We can run forever
Let it stay all year

I walk in sweet like candy on a late night street
Everybody turning just to get a little heat
You keep staring like you know my name
But the way you blush tells me everything
I move slow then I change the beat
Got you losing track of both your feet
You say you never fall that fast
Guess I just turned it up at last

You try to play it cool with your look so calm
But your heartbeat’s louder than the song

I give you that sugar rush baby
You get dizzy when you taste me
I know you been thinking maybe
I could be your sweet escape
I give you that sugar rush baby
You get hooked and call me crazy
Tell me how your night got hazy
From a single touch I made

You keep tripping on your words like a broken rhyme
Saying every little line for another try
You want rhythm so I bring the spark
Got you glowing like a city after dark
I tease slow then I shift the flow
Now you follow everywhere I go
Tell me how you planned your night
I can change it in a single bite

You try to play it cool with your look so calm
But your heartbeat’s louder than the song

I give you that sugar rush baby
You get dizzy when you taste me
I know you been thinking maybe
I could be your sweet escape
I give you that sugar rush baby
You get hooked and call me crazy
Tell me how your night got hazy
From a single touch I made

Sip a little moment slow it right down
Let me spin your world around
If you want another dose of the sound
Come close and I will take you now

I give you that sugar rush baby
You get dizzy when you taste me
I know you been thinking maybe
I could be your sweet escape
I give you that sugar rush baby
You get hooked and call me crazy
Tell me how your night got hazy
From a single touch I made

Why do great times feel so silent
Why do doormen wear rags
Why do women in love
Feel so dead

In a dead world why do great times feel so silent
Over ripped sheet music why do doormen wear rags
On the Pavonia sewers why do women in love
Feel so dead in a dead world
Where Albion is silent where Albion is silent

Why do great times feel so silent
Why do doormen wear rags
Why do women in love
Feel so dead

Why is our pretty nurse standing there
Why that sorry expression on the face of her lover
So I spake to him of womankind
I said here council's floral it svours like the thyme

He said
How could you blame me when I told you it was her
I said
And we know the truth
You're a lover like your father

Later in the painting room as Ripper's painting light
Comes the lover placed by my hand
On the canvas of our wedding night
There a similitude derues your lover's blush tonight
As her florescent eyes explore mine
So remember even flowers are suseptible to night

You showed up in my life like a summer flame
Lit up the dark but never played the game
We danced through the chaos no plan no map
Just two wild hearts in a midnight trap

You said “Don’t blink the moment might go”
And I felt the sky start to glow

We were runnin’ on runaway light
Faster than the doubts that kept us up at night
Hands out the window dreams in our eyes
Didn’t know where but we knew how to fly
We were burnin’ burnin’ too bright—
On runaway light

Old mixtapes and crooked smiles
We drove in silence for a hundred miles
Your hair in the wind sun on your face
Even the hurt felt like grace

You said “Hold on don’t let it fade”
And I swear the world was remade

We were runnin’ on runaway light
Faster than the doubts that kept us up at night
Hands out the window dreams in our eyes
Didn’t know where but we knew how to fly
We were burnin’ burnin’ too bright—
On runaway light

Now the road is quiet the flame burns low
But I still feel it when the records slow
You’re a spark that never died
Still running in my mind

We were runnin’ on runaway light
Took that leap didn’t care if it was right
Hearts on fire truth in disguise
Felt so alive we didn’t even try
We were burnin’ burnin’ too bright—
On runaway light

At seven the glass doors learn the street by name
sale tags turn slowly in the conditioned air
someone leaves a blue scarf folded out of place
and the mirror keeps pretending not to stare

A clerk counts coins like small weather
one by one into a paper tray
the fitting rooms exhale together
as the weekday loosens its display

Keep the low lamps on
let the room breathe out
there is music in the ordinary
when the hurry thins around
Soft returns quiet shelves
hands on fabric nothing else
after seven after seven
we move lightly through ourselves

Perfume cards sleep beside the counter
shoes line up like they know the floor
outside taxis change their colors
inside no one needs to want more

A coat on a hanger turns human
for a second in the corner light
I almost ask it where it's going
then I let it keep the night

Keep the low lamps on
let the room breathe out
there is music in the ordinary
when the hurry thins around
Soft returns quiet shelves
hands on fabric nothing else
after seven after seven
we move lightly through ourselves

Not every song should chase the ceiling
not every room should ask for rain
some evenings only need a rhythm
folded neatly with a name

Keep the low lamps on
let the room breathe out
there is music in the ordinary
when the hurry thins around
Soft returns quiet shelves
hands on fabric nothing else
after seven after seven
we move lightly through ourselves

The last receipt curls by the drawer
one small moon on the floor
after seven after seven
nothing asks to be more

[Intro]
(Ooh)
Yeah yeah
Uh-huh
Look at that
Look at that

You said forever on a Tuesday night
By Thursday you were outta sight
Had your name all over my screen
Now it’s just a memory machine

Funny how the silence got loud
Funny how you’re nowhere around
Used to know the code to my heart
Now you couldn’t find where to start

I was waitin’ by the telephone
Every little buzz had me gone
Now I let it ring all night long

You can’t call me back
Too late for that
I already packed up all the feelings that I had

You can’t call me back
No turnin’ back
Found a better rhythm when you slipped right through my hands

Oh-oh-oh
I’m good like that
Oh-oh-oh
You can’t call me back

Saw your picture through a friend’s friend’s post
Thought I’d feel somethin’ almost
But the room kept spinnin’ just fine
Guess the sun still knows how to shine

Every promise got a price tag now
Every “sorry” sounds the same somehow
You can send another late-night text
But I ain’t the one that’s next

I was waitin’ by the telephone
Every little buzz had me gone
Now I let it ring all night long

You can’t call me back
Too late for that
I already packed up all the feelings that I had

You can’t call me back
No turnin’ back
Found a better rhythm when you slipped right through my hands

Oh-oh-oh
I’m good like that
Oh-oh-oh
You can’t call me back

Na-na-na
Look who’s lonely now
Na-na-na
Tryna figure it out

Ha!
That’s funny somehow

[Final Chorus]
You can’t call me back
Too late for that
I already packed up all the feelings that I had

You can’t call me back
No turnin’ back
Found a better rhythm when you slipped right through my hands

Oh-oh-oh
I’m good like that
Oh-oh-oh
You can’t call me back

Yeah yeah
Too late now
(Ooh)
You can’t call me back… 🎵

V-I-P V-I-P V-I-P V-I-P
V-I-P V-I-P — uh uh-huh uh-huh
V-I-P V-I-P V-I-P V-I-P
V-I-P V-I-P — uh uh-huh uh-huh

Buzz on my phone — you typed “let’s slide”
I said “bass drops lasers good vibes”
No velvet ropes no guestlist or fee
Just you and me and a V-I-P scene oh-oh-oh

Do you crave me like I crave the night?
Do you glow when the tempo’s right?
We ain’t average we don’t do tame
This room’s ours — let’s light the flame

Let’s ride — to the edge of rhythm
No pride — just sparks and vision
Tonight — it’s a private show
We the stars now let the world know

V-I-P V-I-P V-I-P V-I-P
V-I-P V-I-P — uh uh-huh uh-huh

Yeah red lights blinkin’ tempo's wild
VIP mood — we don't need no style
You walk in and the room obeys
This beat’s ours — no need to explain

No ties no limits no script
Just rhythm and lips that don’t quit
You twirl — and the world resets
We’re the climax no regrets

Hit me with your eyes
Ping me just one line
I know where your heart is
Let’s blur the borderline

Let’s ride — to the edge of rhythm
No pride — just sparks and vision
Tonight — it’s a private show
We the stars now let the world know

[Hook – both voices layered]
V-I-P V-I-P V-I-P V-I-P
V-I-P V-I-P — uh uh-huh uh-huh
V-I-P V-I-P V-I-P V-I-P
V-I-P V-I-P — uh uh-huh uh-huh

Say it once say it right
We ignite we ignite
Say it once say it right
We the night we the light
V-I-P…

Midnight moves across the floor
Steps align we need no more
Every motion syncs in time
Signals crossing clean and fine

No directions no control
Just a pattern taking hold

Hold it right don’t push too fast
Let the second stretch and last

Keep me on a steady frequency
Where the sound stays close to me
Nothing sharp nothing loud
Just the rhythm clean and proud

Stay aligned let it be
No escape no urgency
Every tone exactly right
On this steady frequency tonight

Low pulse breathing
Filtered chords drifting
Time dissolving
Nothing spoken

Faces blur in moving light
Seconds fold into the night
No reflections no disguise
Just the motion multiplying

We don’t question where it leads
Only trust the space we keep

Hold the line stay inside
Let the moment open wide

Keep me on a steady frequency
Where the sound stays close to me
Nothing sharp nothing loud
Just the rhythm clean and proud

Stay aligned let it be
No escape no urgency
Every tone exactly right
On this steady frequency tonight

No beginning no release
Only waves in slow repeat
