เนื้อเพลง
[Intro]
Mm
You know I tried
To keep it light
[Verse 1]
We talk till midnight
Your name in my phone
You laugh like it's easy
But I go home alone
I hold back the truth
Like a card in my hand
I can be yours
If you let me land
[Pre-Chorus]
I wear that smile
Like it means less
But my chest gets loud
When you get close
Say the word
And I might confess
'Cause every small touch
Tells me what I know
[Chorus]
Keep it light, keep it light
That’s what I said (that’s what I said)
Keep it light, keep it light
While I lie in my head
If you want me, say it
Don't let me guess it
Keep it light, keep it light
But I can't hide it
[Verse 2]
You leave your jacket
On the back of my chair
Act like tomorrow
Won’t change what is there
I trace your laugh line
In the corner of my mind
I say "be cool"
But I’m out of time
One more second
And I might fall through
You keep it casual
I keep it true
[Pre-Chorus]
I wear that smile
Like it means less
But my chest gets loud
When you get close
Say the word
And I might confess
'Cause every small touch
Tells me what I know
[Chorus]
Keep it light, keep it light
That’s what I said (that’s what I said)
Keep it light, keep it light
While I lie in my head
If you want me, say it
Don't let me guess it
Keep it light, keep it light
But I can't hide it
[Bridge]
Maybe I’m tired
Of acting okay
Maybe your silence
Is getting in the way
I don’t need perfect
I just need you near
Say my name once
Make it clear
[Final Chorus]
Keep it light, keep it light
That’s what I said (that’s what I said)
Keep it light, keep it light
But I’m all in instead
If you want me, say it
Don't let me guess it
Keep it light, keep it light
But I can't hide it
Keep it light, keep it light
Don’t let me go (don’t let me go)

Pop-R&B ballad with a slow swung groove, sparse electric piano and muted kick in the verse; pre-chorus opens with layered harmonies and a rising pad; chorus blooms with warm sub, finger snaps, and stacked doubles on the hook. Close-mic lead vocal, intimate breathy phrasing, soft ad-libs in parentheses, a filtered reverse swell into each chorus, and a glossy wide mix with bright top-end polish., light
