Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro]
[Layered percussion, filtered bass, distant vocal echoes]
[Verse 1]
Your silhouette against the door
You came to find me on the floor
I see you mouth, “I thought you’d gone”
I shake my head and pull you on
You lean in close so I can hear
“Play me the one that brought us here”
I know the sound you’re asking for
That low-end rumble, nothing more
[Build]
Feel it coming through the ground
Let it turn this room around
Closer now
Closer now
[Chorus]
After the lights come on
We’ll have that rhythm in our bones
Give me one more before we go
Let it roll, let it roll
After the lights come on
I’ll take the long way with you home
Till then, don’t let me go
Let it roll, let it roll
[Drop]
[Heavy rolling bass, powerful drums, dark melodic hook]
Let it roll
Let it roll
[Verse 2]
There’s something different in your eyes
You’ve left the working week outside
You tie your hair up with one hand
And move like you’ve got nothing planned
Our friends are waving from the stairs
You blow a kiss, I leave them there
The DJ reaches for the gain
You catch my look — we’re staying late
[Build]
Feel it coming through the ground
Let it turn this room around
Closer now
Closer now
[Chorus]
After the lights come on
We’ll have that rhythm in our bones
Give me one more before we go
Let it roll, let it roll
After the lights come on
I’ll take the long way with you home
Till then, don’t let me go
Let it roll, let it roll
[Breakdown]
[Deep atmospheric pads, intimate low vocal]
We said we’d leave an hour ago
But then they played the one you know
Your jacket’s waiting by the door
It can wait a little more
[Final Drop]
[Full percussion, heavy bass, layered vocal hook]
After the lights come on
We’ll have that rhythm in our bones
Give me one more before we go
Let it roll, let it roll
[Extended Instrumental Outro]
[Gradually strip back to bass and percussion]
