Too Hard To Ignore

[Intro — distant female vocal, heavy reverb]

Woman:

You feel it...

(feel it... feel it...)

Man:

I shouldn't...

Woman:

But you're still here.

(still here...)

[Verse 1 — male lead]

Man:

I came here just to lose the noise

Keep my head, keep my choice

Then you looked at me that way

And every rule began to sway

Woman — soft echo:

Began to sway...

Man:

Don't make this harder than it is

I know exactly what this is

Woman:

Then why don't you walk away?

(walk away... away...)

[Verse 1B — female lead]

Woman:

You keep talking like you're leaving

But your eyes say something else

Every beat is pulling closer

You don't need to blame yourself

Man:

You're playing with the fire.

Woman:

Maybe you like the heat.

Man:

I should be walking out.

Woman:

Then why are you still here with me?

[Pre-Chorus — alternating, building]

Man:

One more second...

Woman:

Stay a little longer...

Man:

One more heartbeat...

Woman:

Let it pull you under...

Man:

I know where this is going...

Woman:

I know you feel it too...

Both — building:

Something in the rhythm

Keeps bringing me to you.

[Chorus — both, huge bass drop]

Woman:

Too hard to ignore...

Man:

Too hard to ignore...

Woman:

When you move like that...

Man:

When you pull me back...

Both:

Too hard to ignore

What we're feeling on the floor

Every beat, every light

Keeps us closer through the night

Too hard to ignore...

(ignore... ignore...)

[Verse 2 — faster call and response]

Woman:

Still pretending you're in control?

Man:

Still pretending you don't know?

Woman:

I know exactly what I see.

Man:

And what do you see?

Woman:

You looking back at me.

(back at me...)

Man:

You're making this impossible.

Woman:

Maybe it was never meant to be easy.

Man:

You're dangerous tonight.

Woman:

And you're still standing by my side.

[Pre-Chorus 2 — overlapping vocals]

Man:

I should resist...

Woman:

But you don't...

Man:

I should leave...

Woman:

But you won't...

Man:

Every time I turn away—

Woman:

You come back...

Man:

Every time I say enough—

Woman:

You say my name...

[Chorus — bigger]

Both:

Too hard to ignore

What we're feeling on the floor

Every beat, every light

Keeps us closer through the night

Too hard to ignore

Can't pretend anymore

When the rhythm takes control

And it pulls us heart and soul

Woman — ad-lib:

Come closer...

Man — echo:

Closer...

Woman:

Don't fight it...

Man:

I know...

[Breakdown — bass disappears]

Woman — distant, reverbed:

You can still walk away...

(away... away...)

Man:

I know.

Woman:

Then why don't you?

(why don't you...?)

Man:

Because every time I try...

(try... try...)

Man:

I end up right here.

Woman — whispered:

With me.

Man:

With you.

[Silence — one heartbeat]

Man — low, finally surrendering:

I can't ignore this anymore.

[FINAL DROP — massive bass returns]

Both:

Too hard to ignore

Too hard to ignore

No more running from the feeling

No more hiding anymore

Too hard to ignore

When you pull me through the door

Every beat, every light

We're together in the night

Woman:

Now you're finally here...

Man:

Yeah...

Woman:

No more running?

Man:

No more running.

Both:

Too hard to ignore...

[Outro — fading reverb]

Woman:

You knew you'd stay...

Man:

I know.

Woman:

You just needed to stop fighting.

Man:

Maybe I did.

(bass pulse... distant echo)

Both:

Too hard to ignore...
