[Intro, spoken, half-sung] [Dry vocal, almost conversational] I’ve been thinking… Well—no—overthinking And I’ve come to a conclusion [pause] It wasn’t the kiss [Band drops in] --- [Verse 1] You didn’t say much, you didn’t say please You just leaned back laughing, stealing the breeze Eyes doing circles, shoes out of line You tilted your head like you’d already won time I was minding my business, minding my drink When you smiled like you knew exactly what I’d think It wasn’t romantic, it wasn’t a scene Just a moment too loud to stay in between --- [Pre-Chorus] I replay it backwards, I slow it right down Like a crime I committed in a friendly town If love’s a trick, then I fell for the misdirection ‘Cause I missed the crime but caught the intention --- [Chorus] It wasn’t the kiss that got me like this It was the way you bit your lip It wasn’t the night or the moonlit bliss It was the wink you tried to skip You barely did nothing, but nothing went wrong Now I’ve been humming your face all along It wasn’t the kiss—no, it wasn’t the kiss It was everything else you did [Big brass hit at the end] --- [Verse 2] You tapped your fingers twice on the bar Like Morse code flirting, subtle but sharp You laughed at a joke that I never said Then looked away first—yeah, that messed with my head I’ve seen fireworks, I’ve heard big words I’ve had dramatic exits, promises blurred But you just stood there, calm as could be Making chaos quietly out of me --- [Pre-Chorus 2] I didn’t fall fast, I slipped on grace On the way that you stood in my personal space If love’s a crime, I demand a retrial ‘Cause it happened somewhere between a nod and a smile --- [Chorus, add gang vocals on last lines] It wasn’t the kiss that got me like this It was the way you bit your lip It wasn’t the night or the moonlit bliss It was the wink you tried to skip You barely did nothing, but nothing went wrong [gang:] (“Nothing went wrong!”) Now I’ve been humming your face all along It wasn’t the kiss—no, it wasn’t the kiss It was everything else you did --- [Middle 8 / Breakdown, chaos moment] [Music strips back: bass, drums and vocal ad-libs] A shrug, a pause, a look too long A step away that felt too wrong You tied my thoughts in a polite little knot Then smiled like you knew exactly what you’d got [Brass stabs return, building tension] --- [Final Chorus, Bigger, faster, unhinged joy] It wasn’t the kiss that got me like this It was the way you bit your lip It wasn’t the night or the moonlit bliss It was the wink you tried to skip You barely did nothing, but nothing went wrong Now I’ve been humming your face all along It wasn’t the kiss—no, it wasn’t the kiss It was everything else you did --- [Outro, spoken chaos, fade out] Just saying… If you’d actually kissed me… I’d be in serious trouble. [Brass riff and laughter to fade]
