Senja

[[Intro]

[acoustic guitar strumming, syncopated bass, steady kick]

(Ah, ah, ah, ah)

[Verse 1]

I heard your hands before I saw your face

Gold in the window, rhythm in the shake

Ten little fingers had the street on pause

Evening forgot it was getting late

Should I kept walking? My feet said no

Your hands touched metal, my heart went metronome

You looked up once and caught me in the sound

No hello, no name, you just played it loud

[Chorus]

[full band enters, driving rhythm]

One note for the stranger

Two for the smile

You made that little window feel like a thousand miles

Then you changed the rhythm and you waited on my feet

I never learned your language but the drum, the drum knew me

[Post-Chorus]

[percussive synth riff]

Senja, play that thing again

Main lagi, oh main lagi

Make the daylight end

You're gonna call my drum and my drum called you

Oh-oh-oh, look what rhythm do

Sekali lagi, jangan berhenti

No pause, just move for me

(Hey, hey!)

[Verse 2]

Next dusk, same road, I said I'd walk on past

Funny how a slow walk turned into a run so fast

Window already up and you already knew

Before my shadow hit the wall, your rhythm changed the shoes

You played a little faster, I answered with my feet

You stopped just to catch me, dropped it on the beat

My mouth said plenty, your mouth said no

Even the sun stayed to see what you had done

[Chorus]

One note for the stranger

Two for the smile

Three nights, thirty-seven, I stopped counting after a while

No promise, nor number, nor name to hold onto

You never spoke my language but your rhythm always do (Uh-huh)

[Post-Chorus]

Senja, play that thing again

Main lagi, oh main lagi

Make the daylight end

You're gonna call my drum and my drum called you

Oh-oh-oh, look what rhythm do

Sekali lagi, jangan berhenti

No pause, just move for me

[Bridge]

[handclaps, bass-driven breakdown]

(I-i-i-i-kana)

Turn around

(I-i-i-i-kana)

Touch the ground

Don't tell me, show me (Dum, dum)

Don't tell me, show me

Next dusk, same window, same street, but the shadow

You forgot the beat

No goodbye on the, no goodbye on the table

No glass left in the air

So my drum answered anyway

[Chorus]

Senja, play that thing again

Main lagi, oh main lagi

Make the daylight end

You're gonna call my drum and my drum called you

Oh-oh-oh, look what rhythm do

Sekali lagi, jangan berhenti

No pause, just move for me
