Step by step in the quiet night
Your silhouette under fading light
Every breath pulls me into you
Like a current I fall into

Your voice moves slow and low
Feels like something I should know

Take me down the river of your rhythm
Let the water pull me where you’re hidden
I sink deeper every time you listen
Lost but I can feel the way you glisten
Take me down the river of your rhythm
Nothing in the night can break the vision

Hey ya ra hey ya ra na
Hey ya ra carry me far
Hey ya ra hey ya ra na
I am where your shadows are

Heartbeats land in a steady flow
Right on time with the undertow
Every step is a quiet spell
Pulls me in where the echoes dwell

Your voice moves slow and low
Feels like something I should know

Take me down the river of your rhythm
Let the water pull me where you’re hidden
I sink deeper every time you listen
Lost but I can feel the way you glisten
Take me down the river of your rhythm
Nothing in the night can break the vision

Hey ya ra hey ya ra na
Hey ya ra carry me far
Hey ya ra hey ya ra na
I am where your shadows are

The shutters lean half-open
On a street rinsed clean by rain
A receipt curls in my pocket
Like it wants to speak your name

Glass shelves hold the evening
Silver bracelets folded blue
Someone laughs by the mirrors
Then the echo thins to two

I keep the counter glowing
Soft enough to let you stay
Every little hour slows down
When the day unpins its gray

Window light after eight
Moves across the polished floor
Nothing loud nothing late
Just the bell above the door
If you come in from the weather
With your collar turned against the air
I'll be humming with the register
Like I knew you'd find me there

Elevator doors are breathing
In the mall across the square
Mannequins wear patient faces
Under amber fitting-room glare

There is music in the hangers
When they slide along the rail
Tiny moons in every button
Tiny ships in every sale

I keep the counter glowing
Soft enough to let you stay
Every little hour slows down
When the day unpins its gray

Window light after eight
Moves across the polished floor
Nothing loud nothing late
Just the bell above the door
If you come in from the weather
With your collar turned against the air
I'll be humming with the register
Like I knew you'd find me there

We don't have to call it waiting
We can call it closing slow
Let the streetlights choose the colors
Let the last few customers go

Window light after eight
A quiet gold along the door
Nothing loud nothing late
Just a rhythm asking for more
If you come in from the weather
With your collar turned against the air
I'll be humming with the register
Like I knew you'd find me there

I left at seventeen before the bread was warm
took the blue suitcase nobody claimed
Mother stood polishing the same clean glass
Dad read the paper without turning a page

There was a woman’s name behind the pantry clock
written twice then crossed with a kitchen knife
I asked who she was
They asked why I was still awake

Huh

They said “You’ll understand when you’re older”
So I got older somewhere else

I was gone before the kettle sang
gone before they fixed their tale
Let them blame my age my temper
let them blame the morning train

I was gone gone gone—
they can call it running if they like
I didn’t leave because they hated me
I left because they knew me wrong

Years later a stranger stopped me near the docks
said “You walk exactly like she did”
I laughed and asked “Who?”
She looked at me as though I’d made a joke

Then she handed me a photograph:
my father younger one hand out of frame
and a girl with my uneven teeth
wearing the blue suitcase name tag

Huh Small world
Terrible handwriting

She said “Your mother tried her best”
I said “Which one?”

I was gone before the kettle sang
gone before they fixed their tale
Let them blame my age my temper
let them blame the morning train

I was gone gone gone—
they can call it running if they like
I didn’t leave because they hated me
I left because they knew me wrong

Maybe I was kept
Maybe I was traded
Maybe love gets very polite
when the truth is complicated

I never asked again

That keeps them nervous

I was gone before the kettle sang
gone before they fixed their tale
Let them polish every answer
I know where the story fails

I was gone gone gone—
huh they still insist I’m wild
I didn’t leave because I hated them
I left as someone else’s child

Side door
No line
No wristband
I’m already mine

Didn’t wear silver to be seen
Didn’t ask the night to be clean
Walked in crooked — stayed aligned
What’s not lit still gets defined

I don’t wait for cues
I don’t nod I move

No auditions
This role’s been filled
I don’t rehearse
I just build
Don’t need lines
Don’t need praise
I write the room
I set the stage

I don’t chase what’s framed in glass
If it cracks I let it pass
My rhythm folds then breaks the grid
Truths don’t scream — they stay hid

Lights don’t lead
I choose my scene

No auditions
This role’s been filled
I don’t rehearse
I just build
Don’t need lines
Don’t need praise
I write the room
I set the stage

Spotlight blinks
But I don’t bow
I was the plot
You just see it now

No auditions
No design
I don’t perform
I define
Don't need signs
Don't need doors
I walk through
And build the floor

(La ciudad no duerme)
(And I don’t wait anymore)

ja

Dejé tu chaqueta
colgada en la silla
tu perfume barato
ya no me domina

You sent me a message
at quarter to three
I read it dancing
you lost that key

shh

No me preguntes
si duele todavía
me puse más linda
desde tu despedida

Tú querías fuego
pero sin quemarte
yo cerré la puerta
sin odiarte

Por la ventana
te vi pasar
con esa cara
de querer llamar

No digas nada
no mires atrás
yo ya no bajo
si tú no sabes amar

La-la-la ventana
I don’t go back
La-la-la ventana
I don’t do that

Compré flores rojas
pero no por ti
hoy brindo conmigo
porque sí porque sí

You loved the drama
I changed the scene
now my little black dress
looks better on me

ay

No me preguntes
si duele todavía
me puse más libre
desde tu cobardía

Tú querías luna
sin pasar la noche
yo cambié mi nombre
dentro de tu coche

[Chorus: Bigger Vocal Layering]
Por la ventana
te vi pasar
con esa cara
de querer llamar

No digas nada
no mires atrás
yo ya no bajo
si tú no sabes amar

La-la-la ventana
I don’t go back
La-la-la ventana
I don’t do that

(You thought I’d cry?)
[Mocking Laughter]
ja ja

Mira bien
mira bien
no era suerte
era mi piel

NO VUELVO MÁS

Por la ventana
te vi pasar
con esa cara
de querer llamar

No digas nada
no mires atrás
yo ya no bajo
si tú no sabes amar

La-la-la ventana
I don’t go back
La-la-la ventana
I don’t do that

(La ciudad sigue)
(pero yo no te sigo)

When I'm out of breath
When my head's a mess
When I want a way to fly away
When I can't take it
When I feel my grip
Slip away
Away
Away

Oh
I can be anything I want to
Oh
A million colors
A thousand hues
Oh
I know there's so much more than we can see
When life is too real
Oh
My dreaming life is everything

When the ground shakes
When my heart breaks
When I want a way to fly away
When I feel my grip
Slip away
Away
Away

Oh
I can be anything I want to
Oh
A million colors
A thousand hues
Oh
I know there's so much more than we can see
When life is too real
Oh
My dreaming life is everything

Open your eyes
We're already here
Oh
There's nothing to fear
And I know

I can be anything I want to
Oh
A million colors
A thousand hues
Oh
I know there's so much more than we can see
When life is too real
Oh
My dreaming life is everything

You moved like silence
Through a city I never named
I watched you from behind my eyes
But you never turned again

You whispered through closed doors
I answered with my breath
Some things are born too quiet
To survive the weight of steps

Time doesn’t fold it floats
Like fabric on your hands
We never chose this ending
We just… ran out of plans

If I find you again
Would you know who I became?
All that sand between our feet
Can’t hold the same name

Your walls are gonna cry
They know it better than I do
I'm still scared to die
When I'm dancing without you

Maybe it's all in my head
Maybe I'll get out of bed
If you call
And I'll go dancing through my kitchen like it's a stage

And if you call
I'll go dancing through my kitchen like it's a stage
And if you call
I'll go dancing through my kitchen like it's a stage
And if you call
I'll go dancing through my kitchen like it's a stage
And if you call
I'll go dancing through my kitchen like it's a stage

And I know it's only temporary
But it's not in the way
It's not in the way that you want it
So we won't talk about it
We don't talk about it

And I know it's only temporary
But it's not in the way
It's not in the way that you want it
So we won't talk about it
We don't talk about it

Maybe it's all in my head
Maybe I'll get out of bed
If you call
And I'll go dancing through my kitchen like it's a stage

And if you call
I'll go dancing through my kitchen like it's a stage
And if you call
I'll go dancing through my kitchen like it's a stage
And if you call
I'll go dancing through my kitchen like it's a stage
And if you call
I'll go dancing through my kitchen like it's a stage

She walks in slow
But the room moves first
No crown no show
Still they know her worth

She don’t ask for permission
She don’t wait by the door
Got a heart made of rhythm
And a name they can’t ignore

Red lips calm eyes
Turning silence into gold
She’s been through the fire
Now she wears it like a coat

You can’t dim her down
She’s already light
She don’t chase the crowd
She owns the night

She owns the night
Moves like the bassline
Cool under pressure
Danger in the waistline

She owns the night
No need to prove it
One look one step
Everybody feels the music

She don’t need love to feel alive
She don’t need stars to make her shine
She owns the night
She owns the night

Oh-oh she owns it
Oh-oh she knows it
Oh-oh she owns it
She owns the night

No tears on the dance floor
She left them in the rain
Put her pain in a black dress
Turned it into champagne

They said “Stay smaller”
She said “Watch me rise”
Now the mirror gets jealous
When she looks inside

You can’t dim her down
She’s already light
She don’t chase the crowd
She owns the night

She owns the night
Moves like the bassline
Cool under pressure
Danger in the waistline

She owns the night
No need to prove it
One look one step
Everybody feels the music

She don’t need love to feel alive
She don’t need stars to make her shine
She owns the night
She owns the night

Every heartbreak made her louder
Every goodbye gave her power
Now she dances on the hour
Like the world is hers to devour

No more waiting
No more hiding
She’s the thunder
She’s the lightning

She owns the night
Moves like the bassline
Cool under pressure
Danger in the waistline

She owns the night
No need to prove it
One look one step
Everybody feels the music

She don’t need love to feel alive
She don’t need stars to make her shine
She owns the night
She owns the night

Oh-oh she owns it
Oh-oh she knows it
Oh-oh she owns it
She owns the night

We stood where the air was thin
Hearts too full to let the silence in
You said “what now?” I said “this”
And kissed the doubt off your lips

If it breaks let it break
If it burns let it burn
We’ll rebuild with what remains
And call it ours

They’ll say we moved too fast
But the stars didn’t wait
The past was loud —
But now we’re awake

If it breaks let it break
If it burns let it burn
We’ll rebuild with what remains
And call it ours

Call it ours…
Even the ruins
