Before Either of Us Spoke

[Extended Instrumental Intro — recurring three-note synth motif]

[Verse 1 – Female]
The room was moving, blurred and bright
A thousand voices crossed the night
Then everything fell out of place
The sound went quiet around your face

[Pre-Chorus]
I looked away, then looked again
A small beginning with no name

[Chorus]
Before either of us spoke
Something shifted, something woke
One held glance across the room
Like a door left open in the gloom

Before either of us knew
A quiet line was drawn to you
No promise made, no reason why
Just that moment passing by

[Instrumental Drop — three-note motif over deep bass]

[Verse 2 – Female]
You turned to leave; I watched you go
A thought I didn’t want to show
The music rose, the crowd moved on
But something in me stayed switched on

[Pre-Chorus]
I nearly let the moment end
Then saw you turning back again

[Chorus]
Before either of us spoke
Something shifted, something woke
One held glance across the room
Like a door left open in the gloom

Before either of us knew
A quiet line was drawn to you
No promise made, no reason why
Just that moment passing by

[Breakdown – Male, softly]
I saw you there
I felt it too

[Build]
One small signal
Coming through

[Final Chorus – Duet]
Before either of us spoke
Something shifted, something woke
One held glance across the room
Now the whole night carries you

Before either of us knew
A quiet line was drawn in blue
No promise made, no reason why
Just the first page opening wide

[Extended Instrumental Outro — motif returns, now warmer]
