[Intro – soft synth drift, distant vocal echoes]
(…you again…)
…always you…
(And me too)
[Verse 1 – gentle, slightly uneasy groove]
It starts as nothing, just a flicker in the noise
A passing shape behind a thousand other voices
But it lingers just a little, like it knows my name
Turning down the volume on everything the same
I try to tune the station, shift the atmosphere
So every little silence pulls you right back here
Like a shadow in the corner I can’t quite see
But I know exactly what it’s doing to me
[Chorus – full emotional lift]
The thought of you
Popped into my head
(The way you do… what you said)
I’m thinking of you
… it’s all I can do
(Filling every space there’s no trace…)
No space for dread
(You’ve popped into my head)
[Verse 2 – fuller instrumentation, pulsing bass]
Now it’s in the rhythm of the things I do
Every conversation bends back into you
Even random faces walking through the street
Somehow carry echoes when our eyes nearly meet
I find it quite attractive, keep it coming on
So every little silence makes it twice as strong
Like a memory that doesn’t need permission to arrive
Just shows up uninvited and feels more alive
[Chorus – bigger, more layered harmonies]
The thought of you
Popped into my head
(The way you do… what you said)
I’m thinking of you
… it’s all I can do
(Filling every space there’s no trace…)
No space for dread
(You’ve popped into my head)
[Bridge – stripped down, intimate piano + airy pad]
Maybe it’s not a haunting
Maybe it’s a sign
That some things don’t get buried
They just realign
And if I try to cage it
I won’t be free any more
Now a wave that learns the shoreline
And returns to the shore
[Final Chorus – soaring, emotional release]
The thought of you
Popped into my head
(Not where I choose… but where I’m led)
I’m thinking of you
Still pulling me through
(All the empty spaces you’ve filled instead)
No space for dread
(You’ve popped into my head)
The thought of you
Won’t leave instead
(It stays right here… inside my head)
[Outro – fading, soft repetition]
…into my head
…into my head
(you again…)
…into my head
