Follow That Little Sound

[Intro]
Yeah, I been thinking ’bout the way you move
No big speech, I just had to tell the truth

[Verse 1]
You keep your coffee by the window pane
Fold your receipts in the pocket of your jeans
Laugh when you’re tired, still you call my name
Make a hard week feel lighter than it seems

I was all noise, you were steady hands
Pulled me back when I ran too far
Now I write your initials on my plans
Like a small reminder of where we are

[Pre-Chorus]
If the room gets loud, I know your face
If the road turns cold, I know the place

[Chorus]
You’re the melody I come back to
Every wrong note sounds right with you
I don’t need a map when I’m near you
All I ever wanted got clear too

You’re the melody, stay on my mind
Even when the whole world passes by
If I lose my way, I know what to do
Follow that little sound back to you

[Verse 2]
We split a sandwich outside the corner store
Talked until the buses changed their signs
You said, “Don’t make a promise you can’t afford”
So I showed you with the everyday kind

I keep your message pinned above the rest
Not because the words are complicated
You just say, “Come home and get some rest”
And somehow all the pressure gets deflated

[Pre-Chorus]
If the room gets loud, I know your face
If the road turns cold, I know the place

[Chorus]
You’re the melody I come back to
Every wrong note sounds right with you
I don’t need a map when I’m near you
All I ever wanted got clear too

You’re the melody, stay on my mind
Even when the whole world passes by
If I lose my way, I know what to do
Follow that little sound back to you

[Bridge]
No perfect timing, no polished line
Just your hand finding mine at the right time
If tomorrow takes us somewhere new
I’ll still know the way when I hear you

[Final Chorus]
You’re the melody I come back to
Every wrong note sounds right with you
I don’t need a map when I’m near you
All I ever wanted got clear too

You’re the melody, stay on my mind
Even when the whole world passes by
If I lose my way, I know what to do
Follow that little sound back to you

[Outro]
Yeah, I know what to do
Follow that little sound back to you

melodic rap, contemporary hip-hop, midtempo bounce, warm sub bass and crisp trap drums, understated piano chords, airy synth accents, intimate autotuned male sing-rap vocals, memorable conversational chorus, tight punchy mix, verses build into a wider hook, brief stripped bridge before the final chorus
