Lyric

The room clicks once and I move too soon

A thought turns sharp before it has a name

My hands reach first, my heart comes late

Almost calm, almost gone, almost immediate

There’s a wire under every breath

A little spark pretending it’s a choice

I want the pause before the fall

Some quiet between signal and voice

Almost Immediate

That’s how I break my own peace

Almost Immediate

Running before I can read

Not every fire needs my skin

Not every pull deserves me

Your message lands, my chest unlocks

Like one small sound can change the air

I build a whole goodbye in seconds

Then find you were only standing there

The body learns a faster language

Than the one my mind can trust

I’m trying not to answer panic

Like panic knows what love is

Almost Immediate

That’s how the feeling gets loud

Almost Immediate

Before the truth can slow down

I don’t have to move so fast

Just because the moment asks

Let the first wave pass through me

Let the heat lose shape

If the need is still there after

Then I can choose its name

Almost Immediate

But I’m learning where to stand

Almost Immediate

No longer taking every hand

I can feel the spark arrive

And let it leave without command
