[Verse 1]
Neon on the sidewalk, vinyl in the air,
Every step I take, I’m lost without a care.
City lights are shining, shadows start to play,
Heartbeat syncs with rhythm, pulling me your way.
[Pre-Chorus]
When your voice whispers softly, the world slips away,
Like a secret melody I wanna replay.
No storm can shake us, no night can scatter,
With you close, baby, it just doesn’t seem to matter.
[Chorus]
Doesn’t seem to matter — you pull me under,
Doesn’t seem to matter — I only want your lover.
Doesn’t seem to matter — when you hold me tight,
In your arms, the darkness turns to light.
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh, yeah, ooh, ooh, yeah (breathy falsetto ad-libs)
Ooh, ooh, yeah, ooh, ooh, yeah (call and response)
[Verse 2]
Slap bass thumping under moonlit skies,
Wah-wah guitar cuts through, smooth and wise.
Remember that night, your hand in mine,
Laughing ‘til dawn, lost track of time.
[Pre-Chorus]
When your smile hits me, the cold fades away,
Like a classic groove that’s here to stay.
No fear or distance, no storm to shatter,
With you close, baby, it just doesn’t seem to matter.
[Chorus]
Doesn’t seem to matter — you pull me under,
Doesn’t seem to matter — I only want your lover.
Doesn’t seem to matter — when you hold me tight,
In your arms, the darkness turns to light.
[Bridge - rhythmic breakdown]
Moonlight on my shoulder, smooth like midnight grooves,
Funk in our veins, got nothing to lose.
Hold me closer, yeah, feel the heat rising fast,
Breathless falsetto, let this moment last.
[Chorus]
Doesn’t seem to matter — you pull me under,
Doesn’t seem to matter — I only want your lover.
Doesn’t seem to matter — when you hold me tight,
In your arms, the darkness turns to light.
[Outro]
Ooh, doesn’t seem to matter,
No, no, it just doesn’t matter (breathy runs)
With you, with you, it just doesn’t seem to matter.
