Verse 1

Style & Mood Modern male emotional synth-pop / electropop. Late-night atmosphere, restrained and intimate in the verses, then wide and euphoric in the chorus. Melancholy but cinematic — longing, memory, regret rather than anger. Tempo & Feel Mid-tempo (≈95 BPM), syncopated groove, steady pulse. Smooth but driving, not ballad slow. Contemporary production. Vocal Direction Lead: Male vocal, close-mic, breathy, conversational delivery in verses (half-spoken singing) Pre-chorus: Emotion rising but still controlled Chorus: Full melodic belt — clear, memorable hook Female backing vocals: Soft harmonies in pre-chorus Wide layered harmonies in chorus Airy echoes repeating hook phrases (“comes back in waves”) Final chorus: duet-style emotional lift, not overpowering lead Production & Instrumentation Sidechained atmospheric pads Pulsing warm analog bass Tight electronic drums (modern pop kick + crisp snare) Minimal piano or pluck accents in verses Expanding synth layers in chorus

Lyrics

Verse 1 I came back with a reason Not the one I told This house still holds your breathing In the walls and cold Your name waits in the doorway I don’t cross that line Some things don’t go missing They just switch sides Pre-Chorus We learned how to stay quiet Before goodbye had a sound Chorus The tide knows what we buried Keeps dragging it home Every road I ran from you Bent back alone We never called it love But it stayed alive Somewhere past the leaving You’re still on my side Post-Chorus (hook) Comes back in waves Comes back in waves Verse 2 You were there in the harbour Like nothing could move I left with empty hands You held the proof We practiced being strangers Where anyone could see But silence tells the truth For me Chorus 2 (lift variation) The tide knows what we buried Won’t leave it below Every night I close my eyes It’s the first thing I know We never called it love Still it never changed Somewhere past the leaving You still say my name Bridge (emotional) If I said it now Would it matter at all Or just turn the past Into something small I kept you safe By letting you go But the tide Never let me Final Chorus (full release) The tide knows what we buried Keeps dragging it home Every life I build away Still feels wrong We never called it love Now I know why Somewhere past the silence You never left my side Outro We learned how to stay quiet So nothing would break But the tide kept talking Anyway
