[Verse 1] You came in like that Hair still damp from rain Turned my whole day sideways Just by saying my name
I was keeping score You were breaking rules Now my phone won't stay quiet 'Cause I'm waiting on you
[Pre-Chorus] Say it soft Say it slow Got my heart On your rope
One more step Don't let go I keep hearing This one note
[Chorus] Laoa, laoa Pull me back again Laoa, laoa Right where we began Laoa, laoa Say it like you mean Laoa, laoa You and me in between
[Verse 2] Left your scarf on my chair Left a trace of us Cherry gum in your pocket And a little street dust
You laugh like a spark In a matchbox sky Every time you walk closer I forget to ask why
[Pre-Chorus] Say it soft Say it slow Got my heart On your rope
One more step Don't let go I keep hearing This one note
[Chorus] Laoa, laoa Pull me back again Laoa, laoa Right where we began Laoa, laoa Say it like you mean Laoa, laoa You and me in between
[Bridge] If you're gonna stay Stay right here With the windows down And the truth near
No big promises Just your hand And that wild little word I understand
[Chorus] Laoa, laoa Pull me back again Laoa, laoa Right where we began Laoa, laoa Say it like you mean Laoa, laoa You and me in between
Stijl van muziek
Pop with a mid-tempo bounce, syncopated handclaps, tight kick-snare groove, and a pulsing synth bass line; verse rides sparse drums and finger-snap percussion, pre-chorus opens with rising chord pads and filtered backing chants, chorus lands on stacked vocal doubles with a chantable hook. Add a brief reverse swell into each chorus, small vocal delay throws on the last word, and a bright polished mix with close-mic lead vocals and wide hook harmonies.
