The story
There’s no story in this one. It’s the texture of an evening and nothing else. I tried to write the feeling rather than describe it, which is why it’s a song about music that never once says the word.
What does it actually feel like in your body when a song lands properly? Have you ever managed to put that into words?
Lyrics
(light, airy, loose timing)
(yeah…)
(mm…)
late nights…
don't mind…
late out, I let it run
no plans, just one by one
same road, different feel
don't know why but it feels real
phone low, I let it die
don't need much tonight
step out, step back again
let it go, then I lean back in
feels like this…
yeah it feels like this
don't think twice…
just move like this
feels like this… I like that
don't slow down, just ride that
back and forth, yeah just like that
step away then I come right back
feels like this… don't fight that
take your time, don't rush that
I could stay right here all night
tryna keep this feeling right
(repeat – slight variation)
feels like this… I like that
yeah I like it like that
back and forth, just like that
I go out then I come right back
(piano-led, vocal ad-libs only)
(yeah…)
(oh…)
(right there…)
say less, let it play
one move, then I wait
same place, something new
funny what a shift can do
don't chase, let it come
one step, then another one
fall back, then I lean
somewhere in between
feels like this…
yeah it feels like this
one step in…
then back again
feels like this… I like that
don't slow down, just ride that
back and forth, yeah just like that
step away then I come right back
feels like this… don't fight that
take your time, don't rush that
I could stay right here all night
tryna keep this feeling right
(repeat – more open for runs)
feels like this… I like that
don't slow down… just ride that
(minimal words, breathy, spaced)
don't say nothing…
(just hold it…)
up…
(yeah…)
down…
(oh…)
slow…
now…
(no structured lyrics – layered harmonies)
(yeahhh…)
(ohhh…)
(ahhh…)
feels like this… this… this…
yeah I like it… it… it…
right here… here… here…
all night… night… night…
feels like this… this… this…
don't fight it… it… it…
stay right… right… right…
all night… all night…
feels like thiiiiis…
(yeah I liiiike it…)
riiiight heeeere…
(ohhh yeah…)
aaaaall niiiiiight…
