[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
Phong cách âm nhạc
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.
