Lost in our Labyrinth

LOST IN OUR LABYRINTH

[INTRO – 0:00–0:07, dark atmosphere, intimate whispered female vocal]

Who would've thought …
you'd mean this much to me?

short pause

Why does getting closer
scare me this deeply?

[BEAT DROP – deep haunting bass, hypnotic dark pop beat]

Oh-oh-oh …
It's always you …

VERSE 1 – soft, intimate, gentle guitar

We were strangers, then we grew close,
told you things I'd never told.
Shared our tears and all our worries,
you were there when nights were cold.

You know the sides I keep hidden,
you can read me when I'm quiet.
And whenever I look into your eyes,
my heart gets scared to even try.
D
PRE-CHORUS – slowly building

When did friendship turn to something
I can't hide or leave behind?
You asked me what I felt for you,
but I couldn't speak my mind.

short pause

It's not that you don't mean the world to me …
maybe you mean too much to me.

[CHORUS – haunting, catchy, long held vowels]

Over and over, youuu …
over and over, weee …

I get lost along the pathways,
but they always lead to yooou.

When you smile,
the whole world fades to si-i-lence.
But whenever you get closer,
I don't know if I'm ready yet.

Tell me, are we two
getting in our own way?
Always finding one another,
but too scared to make a change?

Ooooooh … I'm trying to find my way to yooou …
Ooooooh … I'm scared of losing me and yooou …

Over and over, youuu …
Who finds who inside this labyrinth?

VERSE 2 – fuller beat, emotional vocal

You know you want me by your side,
you can't pretend there's nothing here.
And I don't want to lose you,
but I'm tangled up in fear.

What if we change and lose each other?
What if nothing stays the same?
I want to keep you close forever,
but I'm scared to take that step.

PRE-CHORUS – beat softens

I tried to keep my distance …
but I miss you.
I tried to stay silent …
still I search for you.

CHORUS – stronger, layered harmonies

Over and over, youuu …
over and over, weee …

I get lost along the pathways,
but they always lead to yooou.

When you smile,
the whole world fades to si-i-lence.
But whenever you get closer,
I don't know if I'm ready yet.

Ooooooh … I'm trying to find my way to yooou …
Ooooooh … I'm scared of losing me and yooou …

Tell me, who finds who
inside this labyrinth?

[BRIDGE – beat drops out, soft piano and distant guitar]

The nights go on forever,
I keep looking at my phone.
I wonder if you're still awake,
if you feel this when alone.

One day passes …
then another …

And the farther we get from each other,
the louder I miss you.

BUILD-UP – heartbeat pulse returns

And when we find each other again,
it feels like nothing ever changed.
Like we were never really gone …
but staying close still feels so strange.

[FINAL CHORUS – full haunting beat, emotional peak]

Over and over, youuu …
over and over, weee …

I get lost along the pathways,
but they always lead to yooou.
