SAY MY NAME LIKE A SECRET

(Code Red – Obsession Track / Dirty Soul x Neo-Noir)

Intro
(Beat atmet. Leiser Bass. Ein einzelner Sax-Atem.)

Verse 1
You don’t look at me, you read between,
Like you already know where I’ve been.
You don’t rush it, you don’t ask,
You let the silence do the task.
Your mouth stays close but never near,
Like saying it out loud’s what you fear.

Pre-Chorus
You lean in slow, like it costs you something,
Like one wrong sound breaks the moment.

Chorus
Say my name like a secret,
Like it don’t belong outside.
Don’t say it loud — I don’t need it,
I like it better when it hides.
Say my name like a secret,
Like it’s only yours to keep.
If you’re gonna say it at all,
Say it low —
Say it deep.

Verse 2
Your hands don’t rush, they hesitate,
Like touch is a line you negotiate.
You smile like you’re already gone,
But you stay like you’re holding on.
You don’t promise, you don’t swear,
You just breathe it in my ear.

Pre-Chorus
You don’t say it like a claim or a vow,
You say it like you shouldn’t right now.

Chorus
Say my name like a secret,
Like it don’t belong outside.
Don’t say it loud — I don’t need it,
I like it better when it hides.
Say my name like a secret,
Like it’s only yours to keep.
If you’re gonna say it at all,
Say it low —
Say it deep.

Breakdown
Don’t say it proud.
Don’t say it clean.
Say it like it could ruin things.
If anyone hears it, it’s already gone.
I only want it when it’s wrong.

Final Chorus
Say my name like a secret,
Like it slips from your mouth by mistake.
Don’t say it twice — I don’t need it,
Once is more than I can take.
Say my name like a secret,
Like it’s never meant to stay.
If you’re gonna say it at all…
Say it low.
Say it my way.

Outro
(Say it low…)
(Say it like a secret.)
(Sax breath. Cut.)
