WHEN MORNING FINDS US // FT. HaileeyB

[Inhale / Heartbeat Stomp] [Female Voice A - close, intimate] Three in the morning, hallway light, Phone face down, I quit replying. Every answer felt too heavy, So I let the room go quiet. [Male Voice B - warm, grounded] I heard the distance in your voice, Not every hurt arrives as noise. I won’t ask you for the reason, Just tell me where to sit tonight. [Pre-Chorus - alternating] [Female A] Don’t drag me into daylight. [Male B] I won’t pretend I know the way. [Female A] What if I can’t move? [Male B] Then don’t. [Both - rising] We’ll make it minute by minute. [Chorus - shared duet] [Female A] When morning finds us— [Male B] I’ll still be close. [Female A] When the dark gets loud— [Male B] You’re not alone. [Both] We don’t have to solve the whole night, We just need another breath, another try. If the words won’t come, stay near me. If your hands start shaking, take mine. [Both - hook] When morning finds us— [Crowd / Choir Answer] WE’RE STILL HERE. [Melodic Build - 8 bars] [Female A] One more breath. [Male B] One more step. [Both] Don’t disappear. [Drop A - Anthem Win] [Duet vocal chops from “morning finds us” and “still here”] [Verse 2 - role swap] [Male B - exposed] I know that look because I wear it, Make a joke, then disappear. I can hold the room together While I’m falling somewhere else in here. [Female A - steady] Then stop pretending you’re the strong one. You don’t owe me armor now. If your voice breaks in the middle, I will listen through the sound. [Pre-Chorus 2 - tighter call/response] [Male B] What if I lose the thread? [Female A] I’ll keep the line. [Male B] What if I shut down? [Female A] I’ll give you time. [Both] No perfect words. No perfect cure. Just stay. [Chorus 2 - harmony widened] [Male B] When morning finds us— [Female A] I’ll still be close. [Male B] When the dark gets loud— [Female A] You’re not alone. [Both] We don’t have to solve the whole night, We just need another breath, another try. If the words won’t come, stay near me. If your hands start shaking, take mine. [Both - hook] When morning finds us— [Crowd / Choir Answer] WE’RE STILL HERE. [Drop B - Collision Win] [Half-time 808 pulse, trap hats, stuttered duet chops] [Female A - chopped] Stay— Stay— [Male B - chopped answer] Right here. [Both] Right here. [Piano Breakdown - near dry] [Female A - spoken softly] I don’t need you to fix me. [Male B - spoken] Good. I don’t know how. [Female A] Just don’t leave. [Male B] I won’t. [Both - almost whispered] One more breath. [Final Build - 16 bars, evolving] [Female A] One more breath. [Male B] One more step. [Female A] One more minute. [Male B] Not alone. [Both - rising] If the night keeps pushing— We keep breathing. If the room goes silent— We keep breathing. [Low end removed] [Both - dry] When morning finds us— [One-beat silence] [Final Drop - Worlds Converge] [Both - full harmony] WHEN MORNING FINDS US! [Crowd / Choir] WE’RE STILL HERE! [Both] We don’t have to beat the darkness, We just have to make it through. You can lean on me tonight— And I can lean on you. [Final-only duet counter-melody over main hook] [Female A] Morning finds us— [Male B] Still beside us— [Both] WE’RE STILL HERE! [Final Chorus / Release] When morning finds us, We’ll know we made it through the night. Not because the dark surrendered— Because we stayed until the light. [Crowd / Choir] WE’RE STILL HERE. [Authored Outro - piano, close voices] [Female A] Nothing changed all at once. [Male B] But the window caught the sun. [Both - soft] That was enough.
