We’re tracing cracks across the floor
Where we danced before the walls wore thin
Time doesn’t heal it just rearranges
And I’m still finding pieces of where we’ve been

You said forever but forever’s a lie
A shadow that lingers when the sun says goodbye
I’m holding on but I’m losing my grip
On the edge of a memory I let it slip

We built a world that couldn’t last
A house of cards in a hurricane’s path
Now I’m sifting through the aftermath
Of a love that burned too bright too fast
(Oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh)

The clock keeps ticking but it feels so slow
Every second’s a weight I can’t let go
I see your face in every crowded room
A ghost of a love that met its doom

You said forever but forever’s a lie
A shadow that lingers when the sun says goodbye
I’m holding on but I’m losing my grip
On the edge of a memory I let it slip

We built a world that couldn’t last
A house of cards in a hurricane’s path
Now I’m sifting through the aftermath
Of a love that burned too bright too fast
(Oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh)

And if I could turn back the hands
Would I choose to love you again?
Or let the silence win
And never begin?

We built a world that couldn’t last
A house of cards in a hurricane’s path
Now I’m sifting through the aftermath
Of a love that burned too bright too fast
(Oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh)

I’m tracing cracks across the floor
But I can’t find us there anymore

You taste like trouble and cheap red wine

Black boots kicking off the dashboard side
Your hair messed up and your friends outside
Small town talk but we move too fast
Everybody staring when we walk past

You laugh loud when the speakers break
Steal my jacket like a little game
Hands cold wrapped around my neck
You say “relax” then make a mess

Oh-oh
Don’t stop now
Oh-oh
Spin me around

Kiss me when I’m lying
Tell me I’m your type
We can fake forever for a Friday night
(Yeah yeah)

Your lipstick on my cigarette
Your number in my head again
One look and I lose control
Like whoa-oh-oh

Taxi doors and buzzing amps
Cheap hotel and tangled hands
Your dance moves cutting through the room
Everybody watching you

Low lights flicker on your rings
You move sharp to the kick drum beat
Every word got attitude
God you make bad ideas look cool

No sleep
Heartbeat
Fast lane
On repeat

Kiss me when I’m lying
Tell me I’m your type
We can fake forever for a Friday night
(Hey hey)

Your perfume on my leather coat
You pull away then pull me close
One touch and I lose control
Like whoa-oh-oh

Bad habits look good on you
Too much smoke in the dressing room
Red lights blur when you bite your lip
Whole damn room start losing it

Kiss me when I’m lying
Dance into the light
Young hearts burning through the after-midnight
(Yeah yeah)

Your name stuck like a melody
Wild eyes full of energy
One kiss and the whole world spins
Again and again

Black boots
Backseat
Your laugh
Still on me

One more message then I let it go
No hard feelings just a different road

You send a question past a quarter two
I read it twice but I already knew
We kept a habit long beyond its use
Now every answer feels like an excuse

I don't need a perfect ending
I just need a line that's true

No replay no replay
We can leave it where it changed
No replay no replay
I won't trade my peace for yesterday
Keep the good release the weight
No replay no replay

No no no replay
No no no replay

Friends keep asking if I miss the sound
I miss who I was when you came around
But missing isn't an instruction now
I know the exit and I know it counts

I don't need a perfect ending
I just need a line that's true

No replay no replay
We can leave it where it changed
No replay no replay
I won't trade my peace for yesterday
Keep the good release the weight
No replay no replay

Maybe closure isn't something said
Maybe it's the choice to step ahead
No villain no score no debt to pay
Just two people choosing separate ways

No replay no replay
We can leave it where it changed
No replay no replay
I won't trade my peace for yesterday
Keep the good release the weight
No replay no replay

No hard feelings no replay
I choose peace and walk away

Eight-oh-five by Saint Michel
Kola had a cake box under one arm
one red shoe in the other hand
He said “My aunt turns sixty”

I heard “aunt” “cake” and “Saturday”
and supplied the missing cinema myself
At Idris’ barbershop I said
“Maybe the man is getting married”

Idris did not repeat my sentence
He gave it catering witnesses
and a cousin arriving from Marseille
with three phones and firm opinions

By nine-fifteen the taxi rank knew the venue
By ten the tailor had chosen gold
By eleven Auntie Binta had named two children
Kola was still looking for candles

Who told you?
No be me
Who confirmed it?
Nobody

Radio trottoir radio trottoir
one little “maybe” took a motorbike
Dem don carry am go dem don add pepper
by lunch that man was married twice

At one he had married the mayor’s niece
At two he had bought a flat in Lisbon
At three he had left her for a singer
whose name nobody could pronounce

At four the church committee wanted answers
about a generator no one had lost
At five I tried to stop the story
That became “He knows more than he is saying”

At six my mother called me:
“Wear something decent
Apparently you are giving the speech
And bring your own chair”

I found Kola beside the pharmacy
still carrying the same red shoe
The cake was for Aunt Mariam
The shoe had fallen from her shopping bag

He stared at me for seven quiet seconds
then asked who I planned to marry
I laughed exactly once
That was my second mistake

Who told you?
No be me
Who confirmed it?
Nobody

Radio trottoir radio trottoir
one little “maybe” took a motorbike
Dem don carry am go dem don add pepper
by lunch that man was married twice

I went home to hide from the bulletin
My neighbour had prepared rice
My sister said a woman named Celeste
had accepted me on my behalf

Who is Celeste? Nobody knows
She may be a dentist
She may be in Dakar
She may have started at Idris’ second chair

My mother likes her already
She says Celeste sounds responsible
There are now two cakes in the kitchen
Neither one belongs to Kola

Wetin happen?
Ask the barber
Who start am?
No be me
Where proof dey?
It left by taxi
Can you stop am?
You fit try

Radio trottoir radio trottoir
no antenna no editor no brakes
By sunset Kola ran the ministry
by midnight I was cutting a second cake

Radio trottoir radio trottoir
every correction opens another branch
I only said “Maybe he is getting married”
Now Celeste is discussing curtains with my aunt

Kola brought the candles
My mother served the rice
Idris arrived with invitations

No be me

You showed up like a spark in an easy day
Didn’t plan on anything but you changed my way

Your laugh hits warm and it stays around
Pulls me out when I sink too far down
Every little moment feels brand new
But the best ones happen next to you

I’ve been running steady trying to find my part
Didn’t see it clearly till you reached my heart

Everything feels better with you
Sunrise colors turn a brighter hue
I don’t need a map or a clue
I just follow where you move
Everything feels better with you
Like the whole world finally came through
I don’t chase a thing when it’s true
’Cause it’s better better with you

We walk slow talking ’bout nothing much
Still it feels big when our hands touch
You pull me higher than I planned to climb
But I’m glad you pushed me this time

I’ve been running steady trying to find my part
Didn’t see it clearly till you reached my heart

Everything feels better with you
Sunrise colors turn a brighter hue
I don’t need a map or a clue
I just follow where you move
Everything feels better with you
Like the whole world finally came through
I don’t chase a thing when it’s true
’Cause it’s better better with you

If the road gets heavy someday
Stay with me and we’ll find our way
I don’t ask for more than this
Just your calm and your quiet bliss

Everything feels better with you
Yeah it’s better better with you

Cada vez que te vas
algo de mí también se va

Te vi cerrar la puerta sin mirar atrás
Llevabas tus pasos y mi paz
Ni una palabra ni un por qué
Solo el sonido de lo que ya no fue

Y yo me quedo con el eco de tu voz
Como si el silencio fuera feroz

Te llevas todo mi luz mi fe
Mis madrugadas y mi café
El ritmo lento de mi canción
Y hasta el aire de mi habitación
Te llevas todo sin preguntar
Y yo me quedo sin respirar

Tus fotos siguen en la pared
Pero tu sombra ya no es fiel
Tu perfume flota en el salón
Como un fantasma de mi ilusión

No sé si vas a regresar
Pero yo no sé olvidar

Te llevas todo mi luz mi fe
Mis madrugadas y mi café
El ritmo lento de mi canción
Y hasta el aire de mi habitación
Te llevas todo sin preguntar
Y yo me quedo sin respirar

No dejaste notas ni un final
Solo un vacío tan brutal
Y aunque no quiero suplicar…
mi alma aún te va a llamar

Te llevas todo y lo sabes bien
Hasta el pedazo que era también
Te llevas todo mi amor mi bien
Y yo me pierdo en tu desdén

Walked in slow
Like I planned the night
No need to ask
The room turned right

Every step’s a signal flare
Every look says “Don’t you dare”
I don’t beg I don’t plead
I don’t follow — I lead

You feel the shift when I breathe in
Lights don’t flash — I make them dim

All eyes on me
Like the beat can see
Every move I make
Every stare I break
No need to speak
No need to flee
If you feel that heat
Then all eyes — on me

Didn’t come for love came for impact
High heels loud like a click-clack
Talk sweet — nah I don’t chit-chat
Say my name once then I dispatch

Pulse in the floor that’s me movin’
You stand still while I keep provin’
I don’t chase fame I outgrew it
Mirror on me? I outdo it

One shot — no blink no panic
Rhythm in blood I don’t need magic
All eyes here — it’s cinematic
Cool on fire — it’s automatic

I don’t chase I redefine
Set the pace rewrite the line
No script just instinct
And I don’t blink

I walk slow but I land hard
Wrote the map tore up the chart

All eyes on me
Like the beat can see
Every move I make
Every stare I break
No need to speak
No need to flee
If you feel that heat
Then all eyes — on me

You came for music
But you stayed for the fire
Now you’re caught
In the line of desire

All eyes on me
Nowhere else to be
Every move I make
Every stare I break
No need to speak
Just let it be
If you're here for heat
Then all eyes — on me

Mami tú me miras y me tumbas la razón
Súbete a mi ritmo dale fuego al corazón

Tú caminas lento pero todo se acelera
Cada paso tuyo cambia toda mi carretera
Quiero lo que tienes no lo voy a negar
Si te pegas suave yo me voy a desarmar

Ven que la noche está pa’ ti y pa’ mí
Dime dónde quieres que te siga sí
Lo que tú provocas no lo vi venir
Cuando tú te mueves yo dejo de fingir

Rompe mi ritmo no pares ahí
Sigue bajando súbelo pa’ mí
Tú eres candela desde que te vi
Dame tu noche yo te doy mi beat
Rompe mi ritmo no pares ahí
Siente este fuego corriendo en mí
Tú eres la clave que me hace subir
Dame tu noche yo te doy mi beat

Llévame contigo donde quieras terminar
Dame tu cintura que me empieza a dominar
Sé que tú lo sabes esto va a explotar
Mueve tu figura y déjate llevar

Ven que la noche está pa’ ti y pa’ mí
Dime dónde quieres que te siga sí
Lo que tú provocas no lo vi venir
Cuando tú te mueves yo dejo de fingir

Rompe mi ritmo no pares ahí
Sigue bajando súbelo pa’ mí
Tú eres candela desde que te vi
Dame tu noche yo te doy mi beat
Rompe mi ritmo no pares ahí
Siente este fuego corriendo en mí
Tú eres la clave que me hace subir
Dame tu noche yo te doy mi beat

Quédate conmigo hasta el amanecer
Lo que tú me das no se puede esconder

Shadows linger where the sunlight fades
Holding secrets in the empty space
Your silhouette’s a memory untold
It’s a story that I can’t let go

Caught between the static and the sound
Reaching for the way to turn around

Every heartbeat chasing a sign
Lost in the rhythm searching for time
Falling deeper I feel the weight
But maybe this is how we find our way

Paper walls can’t keep the world outside
Every tear’s a piece of what we hide
I’m still learning how to let it show
But your eyes they see what I don’t know

Caught between the static and the sound
Reaching for the way to turn around

Every heartbeat chasing a sign
Lost in the rhythm searching for time
Falling deeper I feel the weight
But maybe this is how we find our way

It’s not the end it’s just a curve
A second chance the one we deserve
We’re not alone even when we break
The pieces fit in the steps we take

If I could hold the night a little longer
I’d show you how we rise from the thunder
Nothing’s perfect but we’ll make it through
Every crack lets the light shine through

Every heartbeat chasing a sign
Lost in the rhythm searching for time
Falling deeper I feel the weight
But maybe this is how we find our way

Every crack lets the light shine through
This is how we find what’s true

I wake to the hum of a restless moon
Curtains swaying like ghosts in the room
The walls are painted with shadows that creep
Whispering truths that I’d rather not keep

The clock’s stuck ticking in a crooked rhyme
And the air feels heavy thick with time
I try to shake the echoes but they pull me in
A carousel of faces where the dark begins

Bad dreams they’re crawling through my mind (oh no oh no)
Stealing the stillness I can’t seem to find (yeah yeah)
Bad dreams they’re tangled in my head (can’t escape it now)
Chasing the silence but it’s gone instead (it’s gone it’s gone)

Steps in the hallway but the floorboards don’t creak
A distant murmur but no one speaks
The mirror’s reflection isn’t quite my own
A fractured version I’ve never known

I turn the light on but it cuts too thin
The shadows grow deeper they’re pulling me in
I try to find the exit but the walls just bend
A labyrinth of longing with no end

Bad dreams they’re crawling through my mind (can’t get out can’t get out)
Stealing the stillness I can’t seem to find (oh I’m losing it now)
Bad dreams they’re tangled in my head (no way out no way out)
Chasing the silence but it’s gone instead (it’s gone it’s gone)

Lost in the haze where the night unfolds
Every corner hides a story untold
Fingers reach but they slip like smoke
And the weight of the dark wraps around my throat

If I could wake up would the room stay still?
Would the morning sun break this bitter chill?
But the curtains fall in the same slow dance
Caught in a fever I can’t outlast

Bad dreams they’re crawling through my mind (oh don’t let me go)
Stealing the stillness I can’t seem to find (somebody help me now)
Bad dreams they’re tangled in my head (no way out no way out)
Chasing the silence but it’s gone instead (it’s gone it’s gone)
