The Cristofaro
Songbook.

[Intro]
[Cristofaro]
Yeah…
Cristofaro
You and me
My Lovely
Look

[Chorus]
[Ashlee]
Say less
I know that look
You got real quiet
Soon as you saw this

[Cristofaro]
Say less
I caught that smile
You can play shy
But only for a while

[Ashlee]
Long way
Still so close

[Cristofaro]
Keep talking like that
Gonna feel it in your toes

[Together]
Say less
Say less
Ain’t gotta spell it out
You know that I know

[Verse 1]
[Cristofaro]
You change that tone
Soon as we’re alone
Say something slick
Then act like you won’t
I catch that smile
Let you play for a while
You can act innocent
But that ain’t really your style

Your head on my chest
Early in the morning
You say you’re tired
Well we stayed up till the morning
I say one thing
Feel you laugh against me
Try to play it cool
While you kissin on my goatee

[Pre Chorus]
[Ashlee]
You think you’re smooth

[Cristofaro]
I know I am

[Ashlee]
Don’t get bold

[Cristofaro]
Too late for that

[Ashlee]
You talk too much

[Cristofaro]
You like when I do

[Together]
Then nobody talks
For a second or two

[Chorus]
[Ashlee]
Say less
I know that look
You got real quiet
Soon as you saw this

[Cristofaro]
Say less
I caught that smile
You can play shy
But only for a while

[Ashlee]
Long way
Still so close

[Cristofaro]
Keep talking like that
Gonna feel it in your toes

[Together]
Say less
Say less
Ain’t gotta spell it out
You know that I know

[Verse 2]
[Ashlee]
You get that grin
Like you figured me out
Getting real confident
Look at you now
You watch my face
Every time that you flirt
Just to see if it lands
Yeah I know how you work

You think you’re slick
I’ll give you that
Know exactly when
To make me laugh
But don’t get confused
I can flip this on you
You’ve been reading my face
Like I ain’t reading you

[Verse 3]
[Cristofaro]
Yeah you caught me
I’ll give you that
Saw that little smile
Now I’m smiling right back
Tried playing cool
That lasted a minute
You know when you got me
And you fucking love it

Bedroom quiet
You’re laying this close
You give me that look
Yeah, I already know
You say “one more minute”
I’m like, “Where would I go?”
Neither one moving
Guess we’re taking it slow

[Pre Chorus]
[Ashlee]
You think you’re smooth

[Cristofaro]
I know I am

[Ashlee]
Don’t get bold

[Cristofaro]
Too late for that

[Ashlee]
You talk too much

[Cristofaro]
You like when I do

[Together]
Then nobody talks
For a second or two

[Chorus]
[Ashlee]
Say less
I know that look
You got real quiet
Soon as you saw this

[Cristofaro]
Say less
I caught that smile
You can play shy
But only for a while

[Ashlee]
Long way
Still so close

[Cristofaro]
Keep talking like that
Gonna feel it in your toes

[Together]
Say less
Say less
Ain’t gotta spell it out
You know that I know

[Bridge]
[Ashlee]
You get real close
Then wait on me
That little grin
Like you know what I mean

[Cristofaro]
I know that look
I know that tone
Hits a little different
Now we’re finally alone

[Ashlee]
Maybe we don’t
Need another line

[Cristofaro]
Then come a little closer
And I’ll stop talking this time

[Together]
Say less
Say less

[Final Chorus]
[Ashlee]
Say less
I know that look
You got real quiet
Soon as you saw this

[Cristofaro]
Say less
I caught that smile
You can play shy
But only for a while

[Ashlee]
Long way
Still so close

[Cristofaro]
Keep talking like that
I like it better this close

[Together]
Say less
Say less
Ain’t gotta spell it out
You know that I know

[Outro]
[Ashlee]
Try to play it cool
But your smile says no

[Cristofaro]
You’re doing the same
Baby, I already know

[Ashlee]
Come a little closer

[Cristofaro]
Thought you’d never ask

[Together]
We can say less
Let the moment last

[End]

[Intro]
Yeah
Cristofaro
We switching it up
Look

[Hook]
I elevate
Different air
New height
Still rare
O.R. lights
Booth nights
135
Switch lanes
Pressure made
My vision clear
I’m not the man
I was last year
Watch me rise
Watch me change
Cristofaro
Different range

[Verse 1]
Cut the tension
Like a scalpel
I don’t move average
Scrubbed all day
Then I leave
Feeling like a savage
Long week heavy
But my mind stays on
Case runs late
Then I’m writing till dawn

Irish queen
In the lab with the focus
PCR running
She already noticed
Formula clean
Chemistry real
She know I’m busy
But she love how I build

Hand on the wheel
Stars thru the glass
VVS hitting
When the streetlights pass
Foot on the gas
Mind on the goal
I don’t need luck
I got control

[Pre Chorus]
I don’t ask
I align
I don’t wait
I design
New pressure
New glow
Same name
They know
I was down
Not done
Came back sharper
Look what I’ve become
No fear
No break
Watch me levitate

[Hook]
I elevate
Different air
New height
Still rare
O.R. lights
Booth nights
135
Switch lanes
Pressure made
My vision clear
I’m not the man
I was last year
Watch me rise
Watch me change
Cristofaro
Different range

[Verse 2]
Stepped out my scrubs
Stepped in the booth
Two lives moving
Still one truth
Built for both
Built for the weight
Saving lives by day
Killing beats late

Learned my lessons
Cut through the noise
Lost some comfort
Found my voice
Stress in my chest
Turned to bass in the room
Now that same old ceiling
Sits beneath my shoes

I clean my VVS
Cause I like how it shine
But the real clarity
Been inside my mind
I don’t flex for them
I flex for me
I became the man
They pretended to be

Midnight drive
With the city all blurred
No big speech
Let the engine purr
Different gear
Different lane
Different feel
I don’t chase dreams
I make them real

[Final Chorus]
I elevate
Different air
New height
Still rare
O.R. lights
Booth nights
135
Switch lanes
Pressure made
My vision clear
I’m not the man
I was last year
Watch me rise
Watch me change
Cristofaro
Different range

[Outro]
Different air
Different lane
Same name
Different range
Cristofaro
Elevate
Clean Margin Music

[Intro]
Yeah…
Cristofaro
Turn that up
Let’s get it

[Chorus]
This looks good on me
I can’t even lie
Black tee
Fresh kicks
Shit I clean up nice
Chain shining bright
Hair sitting right
Caught my reflection
Like damn
What a sight

This looks good on me
Yeah it feels right
Got that little bounce
Fuck it
Slow stride
Got off the phone
Still grinning at the screen
I guess feeling like myself
Looks good on me

[Verse 1]
Fresh out the shower
Speaker loud
One shoe on
Still pulling some shit
Turn to the side
Like hold up
Check the fit
Oh
Here’s another hit

Sent you a picture
Then I grabbed my keys
Your name lit up
Now I’m cheesing at the screen
First song on
Had to run that back
Still parked
Beating drums on the dash

[Pre Chorus]
Wait a minute
Let me catch that beat
Turn it up
Now set that mind free

[Chorus]
This looks good on me
I can’t even lie
Black tee
Fresh kicks
Shit I clean up nice
Chain shining bright
Hair sitting right
Caught my reflection
Like damn
What a sight

This looks good on me
Yeah it feels right
Got that little bounce
Fuck it
Slow stride
Got off the phone
Still grinning at the screen
I guess feeling like myself
Looks good on me

[Post Chorus]
Good on me
Feels good on me

[Verse 2]
Fresh air
Clean kicks
Bounce in my step
Mumbling a hook
I ain’t even wrote yet
Stop at the corner
Sing it in my phone
Folder full of beats
Waiting back home

Friends at the table
Saving my seat
Slide in
Talk shit
Nowhere else to be
Your laugh from earlier
Still follows me around
Phone in my pocket
Still high off your sound

[Bridge]
Back home
Keys down
Headed to the chair
Catch my reflection
That grin still there

Same smile
Loving the fit
Yeah I might get
Real used to this

[Final Chorus]
This looks good on me
I can’t even lie
Black tee
Fresh kicks
Shit I clean up nice
Chain shining bright
Hair sitting right
Caught my reflection
Like damn
What a sight

This looks good on me
Yeah it feels right
Got that little bounce
Fuck it
Slow stride
Got off the phone
Still grinning at the screen
I guess feeling like myself
Looks good on me

[Outro]
Good on me
Feels good on me

Cristofaro
Feeling himself
Hard not to
With a lady like that
Sheesh
Clean Margin Music
I’m out

[End]

[Intro]

Yeah…

Cristofaro…

Long distance.

No space between.

Look.

[Hook]

Roots first
Branches now
Knew your heart
Still don’t know how

Long calls
No shortcuts
No mask, no game
You got the real me
You gave me the same

Most fall for a face
Then ask what it means
By the time I saw you
You were already seen

Roots first
That’s why I’m sure
We found the part
They keep looking for

[Verse 1]
Most people start
With the face and the rush
Call it love
When the chemistry’s up

Then the shine wears thin
And the noise gets cut
Now they’re digging for depth
Hoping there’s enough

[Short Turnaround]

We had one picture
And plenty of time

So I learned your mind
You learned mine

Late night calls
Voice notes
Long shifts on my side

You in the lab
Me in scrubs
Still making the time

[Short Turnaround]

No polished version
No rehearsed lines

You got me off script
Right there in real time

Saw through the surface
Our hearts are entwined
Got Me checking the service
Still talkin way past nine

[Pre Chorus]

Got to the truth
Before the chemistry

Then the chemistry
Hit differently

Blue eyes land deeper
When you know what they hold

I saw your face
But I already knew your soul

[Hook]

Roots first
Branches now
Knew your heart
Still don’t know how

Long calls
No shortcuts
No mask, no game
You got the real me
You gave me the same

Most fall for a face
Then ask what it means
By the time I saw you
You were already seen

Roots first
That’s why I’m sure
We found the part
They keep looking for

[Verse 2]

Camera on
There you were

Whole train of thought
Gone in a blur

I can talk ten straight
Never miss a phrase

Then you gave me that grin
And I lost my place

“Oh my God
Look at you”

Months built on words
That’s all I could do

[Short Turnaround]

Room to room
You were showing me through

New keys in your hand
Whole life coming into view

Should’ve watched the place
I was watching you

September felt real
Every room we moved through

[Short Turnaround]
Twenty sixth
Nine thirty five

Wheels touch down
Whole thing comes alive

No wondering now
I’m finally in it

Long distance got a deadline
Three weeks till I live it

[Bridge]

Learning your language
Two words came through

Slán for goodbye
Mo ghrá for you

Funny how goodbye
Feels different now

I learned how to say it
Just not to you

[Brief Instrumental Breath]

[Final Hook]

Roots first
Branches now
Knew your heart
Still don’t know how

Long calls
No shortcuts
No mask, no game
You got the real me
You gave me the same

Most fall for a face
Then ask what it means
By the time I saw you
You were already seen

Roots first
Branches rise
Knew the soul in your voice
Before the blue in your eyes

[Outro]

Long distance.

Short countdown.

September twenty sixth.

Nine thirty five.

No space between.

Not anymore.

Yeah…

Cristofaro.

[End]

[Intro]
Yeah
Cristofaro
Look
She said it so casually
I swear the room disappeared for a second.

[Hook]
Fancy a dance
You said it so easy
Candlelight on your face
That’s all I can see
Room turns neon
Your hand finding mine
I ain’t there yet
Still it plays in my mind

Fancy a dance
You don’t even know
One little question
I could feel my eyes glow
Long way still
I smiled at my phone
Saw us leave those lights
Then head back home

[Verse 1]
You told me the plan
Like it wasn’t that deep
Dinner, then drinks
Then you’re dancing with me
I kept my voice calm
Trying not to miss a beat
Felt something light up
From my chest to my feet

Six little courses
Candle burning low
Your laugh over dinner
That’s the picture I hold
Right there across from me
With the light in your eyes
I’d miss every detail
If you looked up and smiled

[Pre-Chorus]
You said it softly
Like one more plan
Five hours between us
Went quiet like that
Then you asked me
“Would you fancy a dance?”

[Chorus]
Fancy a dance
You said it so easy
Candlelight on your face
That’s all I can see
Room turns neon
Your hand finding mine
I ain’t there yet
Still it plays in my mind

Fancy a dance
You don’t even know
One little question
I could feel my eyes glow
Long way still
I smiled at my phone
Saw us leave those lights
Then head back home

[Verse 2]
I see the room
Turn gold into blue
Music all around
But I only hear you
You reach for my hand
Like it’s always been yours
Lights blur behind you
As we move to the floor

You laugh in my ear
And it finally lands
Same voice from the phone
Now right where I stand
Then we leave those lights
With your hand still in mine
No goodnight by phone
We’re finally going home

[Bridge]
You said it so simple
Like one little plan
I felt the whole night
Before it began
It wasn’t the dinner
Or the glow of the lights
It was hearing you wanted
Me there by your side

[Chorus]
Fancy a dance
You said it so easy
Candlelight on your face
That’s all I can see
Room turns neon
Your hand finding mine
I ain’t there yet
Still it plays in my mind

Fancy a dance
You don’t even know
One little question
I could feel my eyes glow
Long way still
I smiled at my phone
Saw us leave those lights
Then head back home

[Outro]
Would you fancy a dance with me
Yeah
I would
Thirty seven days
Cristofaro

[Intro]
Cristofaro....

Peep this...

Go....

[Chorus]
Clear margin
Clean cut
I’m locked in
No luck
Long nights
Big pace
Whole life
New shape
Pressure on me
Still I move
They all talk
And I prove
New sights
High aim
Cristofaro
Know the name

[Verse 1]
Look,
I been running on fumes
Still I’m moving like I’m chosen
Scrubs to the studio
The door staying open
Long week heavy
But the vision got clearer
Whole new chapter
Every time I see the mirror
I ain’t asking for a lane
I just built mine
Turning all the pressure
Into basslines
Yeah, I made a lot
VVS, easy to spot
Who are you
Sorry, I forgot
By now you’re just an afterthought

[Chorus]
I don’t need luck
I need timing
Scrubs in the back
Gold chain shining
They talk big
I move cold
Clean Margin
My new stronghold

[Chorus]
Clear margin
Clean cut
I’m locked in
No luck
Long nights
Big pace
Whole life
New shape
Pressure on me
Still I move
They all talk
And I prove
New sights
High aim
Cristofaro
Know the name

[Verse 2]
Got a Phone full of mixes
Notes full of lines
Every song a vision
Cut straight from my mind
Writing these bars
All through the nightfall
She always on my phone
Like im on call
They stay waiting
Waiting for me to fall
But still I grind hard
I came too far
Made the vision real
Now the whole life
Is looking ideal

[Chorus]
Clear margin
Clean cut
I’m locked in
No luck
Long nights
Big pace
Whole life
New shape
Pressure on me
Still I move
They all talk
And I prove
New sights
High aim
Cristofaro
Know the name

[Bridge]
I’m not the same man
That was fighting to breathe
I found the edge
Then I sharpened the blade
Cut off the noise
Now the margin is clean
This ain’t ego
This is earned
I took the pain
And I built my domain

[Chorus]
Clear margin
Clean cut
I’m locked in
No luck
Long nights
Big pace
Whole life
New shape
Pressure on me
Still I move
They all talk
And I prove
New sights
High aim
Cristofaro
Know the name

[Outro]
Cristofaro
On a mission
Clean Margin Music
Yeah
We here now

[Intro]
Yeah
Cristofaro
Future looking brighter
And brighter
Look

[Chorus]
Paint the walls
Change the whole room
New life
Same us
Big plans
Coming real soon
Paint on our shirts
Laughing like we made it
If the color comes out wrong
Fuck it we can change it
Warm lights
Late nights
Building what we wanted
No fake
No stress
Everything is honest
Your hand
My hand
Color on the floor
Guess I can believe in fate
Now Im walking through the door

[Verse 1]
Long week done
Sixty hours
Still aint slowing down
Finally breathe
Grab some food
Take a look around
Talking like its nothing
Then you said it casually
Paint the walls
Build it with me
Like you saw what I could see
Music playing
Paint everywhere
All across our shirts
Build the table
Kinda crooked
Laugh and make it work
Take a break
Start some dinner
Leave the brushes where they are
Laughing over something stupid
Thats the shit that hits my heart

[Pre Chorus]
No grand speech
No perfect line
Just the way you said it
Put the future in my mind
One little sentence
Made the whole thing come alive
Now the smallest moment
Started looking like our life

[Chorus]
Paint the walls
Change the whole room
New life
Same us
Big plans
Coming real soon
Paint on our shirts
Laughing like we made it
If the color comes out wrong
Fuck it we can change it
Warm lights
Late nights
Building what we wanted
No fake
No stress
Everything is honest
Your hand
My hand
Color on the floor
Guess I can believe in fate
Now Im walking through the door

[Verse 2]
Sterile white
Blue light
Yeah we both get enough
Give me lamps
Turned down low
Dinner cooking in the warm glow
Leave the stress
At the doorway
Let the whole week dissolve
These dreams
Making headway
Now I know whos involved
Still ambitious
Still obsessed
Still got numbers in my head
Still gon make sure
Were ahead
Success used to mean leaving
Always chasing something more
Now Im grinding just as hard
For the life behind that door
Used to draw
Escape routes
Now Im drawing floor plans
Used to keep
Everything spotless
Now theres color on my hands

[Bridge]
Maybe one wall
Comes out awful
Maybe leave it
For a week
Maybe every time
We see it
We just laugh
And let it be
Maybe furniture
Gets scratched up
Maybe coffee
Leaves a stain
Maybe perfect
Wasnt ever
What we wanted
Anyway

[Break]
Give me something lived in
Give me something ours

[Chorus]
Paint the walls
Change the whole room
New life
Same us
Big plans
Coming real soon
Paint on our shirts
Laughing like we made it
If the color comes out wrong
Baby we can change it
Warm lights
Late nights
Building what we wanted
No fake
No stress
Everything is honest
Your hand
My hand
Color on the floor
Guess I can believe in fate
Now Im walking through the door

[Outro]
Warm lights
Paint stained shirts
Something cooking
Something crooked
That we built ourselves
Yeah
Leave it
Its ours
Cristofaro

Lovely on the track...

This ain't a maybe
This ain't a fling
Whole world talking

Living the dream
Too far?

Too strong?

[Verse 1]
[Male]
Long shift done
Phone in my hand
Grind all day
Still got plans
You hit my line
There goes my stress

World gets loud
You feel close
Cross my mind
Still want you most
One small message
Turned to long days
Now your voice
Revolves in my mind
And Every hour
Feels worth the wait

[Verse 2]
[Female]
Long day too
Still I smile
You make distance
Feel worthwhile
You talk big
But you stay sweet
Make me blush
Through the whole screen

I was careful
You were patient
Now we built
Our own foundation
Funny how
One little text
Turned into
What happens next

[Pre-Chorus]

To sell no story
You already
Saw it forming
Passport ready
Countdown on
Every day
We holding strong

Not just words
Not just songs
You and me
All night long
Dublin night
Ohio light
Still we found
Our own place

[Verse 4]
[Female]
I don't need
Some perfect line
You show up
And give me time
You know when
My voice gets quiet
Pull me close
Now hold me tight

I like the way
You say my name
Like all the fear
Could fade away
I was guarded
You came through
Now I feel
Safe with you

Real thing
And we both know

[Intro]
Yeah...
Cristofaro...
Let’s have some fun
Look.

[Hook]
Yeah, they talk big, but I back mine
Long hours, good money, real time
Best pick, no stress, no question
Stand tall, move heavy, watch my ascension
Bankroll heavy, yeah, the paper stacked
I don't fold up, I don't fall back
You want real, baby, watch how I move
Talk is cheap, but I got proof

[Verse 1]
Look,
Bright lights shining right on my face
High pressure moments, yeah, I set the pace
Locked in my zone, I never shake
Run up the bag, yeah, I'm still wide awake
Clock out late, still on my grind
What I make, you’ll lose your mind
Head in the clouds, but the plan aligned
Take my hand, we dressed to the nines
I don't talk future unless I fund it
If I said I'm gonna do it, then I done it
I’ll handle the weight, and no I won’t quit

[Pre-Chorus]
I know what I bring
I know what I make
I know what I'm worth
I know what it takes
Big moves, sharp mind
No weak promise
The one and only
Yeah, I'm being honest

[Hook]
Yeah, they talk big, but I back mine
Long hours, good money, real time
Best pick, no stress, no question
Stand tall, move heavy, watch my ascension
Bankroll heavy, yeah, the paper stacked
I don't fold up, I don't fall back
You want real, baby, watch how I move
Talk is cheap, but I got proof

[Post-Hook]
I got proof
I got motion
No games
Pure devotion
I got proof
Of progression
Best pick
No contest

[Verse 2A]
Five-star dinners, fresh seafood
Whole room stops when you walk through
Whatever you need, I got time
Put in the work just to make sure you shine
It ain't just cash, it's the time that I spend
Holding you down, yeah, right to the end

Lean on me when life gets heavy
Always on point and the motion is steady
Hand on your thigh, the engine is smooth
Lights down low, I'm setting the mood
I don't just talk, I back it with action
You and me, baby, the main attraction

They all talk, selling fake dreams
Same old lines, too mainstream
Talking like that, but they won’t show face
Champagne with you, they forgot the taste
Motion, promise, then I follow through
Say I got you, and I make it come true
Not a phase, not a mood
Talk is cheap, I got proof

[Pre-Chorus]
I know what I bring
I know what I make
I know what I'm worth
I know what it takes
Big moves, sharp mind
No weak promise
Top tier only
Yeah, I'm being honest

[Hook]
Yeah, they talk big, but I back mine
Long hours, good money, real time
Best pick, no stress, no question
Stand tall, move heavy, watch my ascension
Bankroll heavy, yeah, the paper stacked
I don't fold up, I don't fall back
You want real, baby, watch how I move
Talk is cheap, but I got proof

[Outro]
I got proof
I got motion
Top tier
Pure devotion
Cristofaro in the cut
Yeah, you know what it is
Talk is cheap
I got proof

Yeah…
Cristofaro…
This one is just the truth.

[Verse 1]
Used to check every word
Before it left my mouth
Used to feel the whole room
Tryna figure it out
Now you get me half asleep
Hair all out of place
Still you look at me
Like I’m your favorite face

I don’t need the perfect line
I don’t gotta act tough
You can tell when I’m quiet
You don’t call my bluff
Left my number in the chat
Never pushed, never chased
Then your name lit my phone
And everything changed

[Pre-Chorus]
Now the flight’s in my phone
September on the way
For once I ain’t scared
Of what love’s gonna take

[Chorus]
With you, I don’t gotta perform
Don’t gotta hide what I feel anymore
You get the real me, tired and all
Still wanna hear me whenever I call
No games, no test, no role to play
Just you saying my name that way
After all these years, I finally get it
Real love don’t need an audition

[Post-Chorus]
No audition
No act for you
No audition
You get the truth

[Verse 2]
I missed all the wars
I was stuck on a case
You reached out to me
And you gave me a place
Started with a message
Something small in the chat
Now I’m checking my flights
Funny how life did that

We talk through the whole day
Lose track of the time
You hear when I’m hurting
Before I say I’m fine
You don’t try to fix me
Or tell me who to be
You just make it easy
To come back to me

[Pre-Chorus]
Got your address saved
Got the days counting down
Soon I won’t need a screen
Just to see you around

[Chorus]
With you, I don’t gotta perform
Don’t gotta hide what I feel anymore
You get the real me, tired and all
Still wanna hear me whenever I call
No games, no test, no role to play
Just you saying my name that way
After all these years, I finally get it
Real love don’t need an audition

[Bridge]
Spent too many years
Making myself small
Thought love meant waiting
For the next shoe to fall
Thought peace had a catch
Thought good couldn’t last
You don’t hold me guilty
For the weight of my past

You don’t need me quiet
Don’t ask me to prove
I can breathe in this love
I can still be me with you

[Chorus]
With you, I don’t gotta perform
Don’t gotta hide what I feel anymore
You get the real me, scars and all
Still wanna hear me whenever I call
No games, no test, no role to play
Just you saying my name that way
After all these years, I finally get it
Real love don’t need an audition

[Post-Chorus]
No audition
No act for you
No audition
You get the truth

[Outro]
September ain’t the finish line
It’s just the first time
I get to walk through your door
With no screen in the way
No script
No safer version
Just me…
And you
No audition

[Intro]
Yeah, Cristofaro stepping in.
Soon as I pull up, whole party in tune.
Always on ten.

[Chorus]
Taking control, got 'em all in the place,
Running the floor, yeah they givin me space.
Our hands held high, yeah we loving the night,
Lasers in the air while we dance in the light.
Unstoppable energy, watch how I move,
Cristofaro turning up with the crew.
Yeah, life of the function, I'm bringing the heat,
Vibes so loud, got 'em up on their feet.

[Verse 1]
Put in the work, now i got Dior on my feet,
Now the whole squad lit and the feeling is deep.
From the gym to the club, yeah we raising the bar,
Squad dancing while im singing to the stars.
Got the section on lock and the timing right,
Yeah, we making it jump in the middle of night.
Unapologetic, I move how I can,
Built for the moment, I’m running the plan.
Walk in the spot and we shaking the room,
If they killing the vibe then they leaving here soon.

[Chorus]
Taking control, got 'em all in the place,

Yeah, life of the function, I'm bringing the heat,
Vibes so loud, got 'em up on their feet.

[Verse 2]
Yeah, taking the night from the burbs to the Atlantic,
Beats so gigantic, the crowd going manic.
I know what I want and I’m playing for keeps,
Got the whole club singing my words when I speak.
I stay on my grind but I party for sure,
Always ten steps ahead, still they begging for more.
Calling the shots while I sit at the top,
Once the beat hits, there ain’t no way to stop.
Smooth when I talk, got 'em loving the words,
Lights in the sky like we up with the birds.

[Bridge]
Start with the keys, then I drop in the bass,
Letting the 808s shake up the place.
Calling the DJ, we running the play,
Watch how Cristofaro lights up the rave.
Yeah, lights up the rave.

[Chorus]
Taking control, got 'em all in the place,
Running the floor, yeah they givin me space.
Our hands held high, yeah we loving the night,
Lasers in the air while we dance in the light.
Unstoppable energy, watch how I move,
Cristofaro turning up with the crew.
Yeah, life of the function, I'm bringing the heat,
Vibes so loud, got 'em up on their feet.

[Outro]
Yeah.
Cristofaro.
Turn the night up.
We out.

[Intro]
Yeah,
Cristofaro,
Another Night
Under the lights
Hitting my head at my height

[Hook]
Turning the tension to art in the booth,
Surgical focus, uncovering truth,
Bearing the weight, I was never to fold,
Locking the bond and the story unfolds.
Mind in the clouds but feet on the floor,
They're locked within lines, I cross the divide.
Pushing the boundaries, I see through the lies,
Still in the cut, looking past the disguise.

[Verse 1]
Under the lights when the moment is critical,
Every maneuver is highly analytical.
Trauma room steady, my pulse never jumping,
Q.R.S. traces, the 808s bumping.

Weight of the gold resting cold on my chest,
Doing my thing, I leave fate to the rest.
Moving in silence, the diamonds reflect,
Building the empire that I architect.
No time for failure, so the vision's elite,
Stitching the rhythm, I’m sewing the beat

[Hook]
Turning the tension to art in the booth,
Surgical focus, uncovering truth,
Bearing the weight, I was never to fold,
Locking the bond and the story unfolds.
Mind in the clouds but feet on the floor,
They're locked within lines, I cross the divide.
Pushing the boundaries, I see through the lies,
Still in the cut, looking past the disguise.

[Verse 2]
Across the deep water, the frequency holds,
Watching a brand new horizon unfold.
Isolating sequences down to the strand,
A microscopic world in the palm of the hand.

Flights over water, the altitude shifts,
Tracing the roads by the emerald cliffs.
Miles on the coast in the mist and the green,
Living a journey that's mostly unseen.
Untouchable aura, I’m locked in the zone,
Carving a kingdom to call it my own.

[Bridge]
Steady hands,
Ice in the veins,
Green horizons,
This wasn’t by chance, how the stars had aligned.
Yeah.

[Hook]
Turning the tension to art in the booth,
Surgical focus, uncovering truth,
Bearing the weight, I was never to fold,
Locking the bond and the story unfolds.
Mind in the clouds but feet on the floor,
They're locked within lines, I cross the divide.
Pushing the boundaries, I see through the lies,
Still in the cut, looking past the disguise.

[Outro]
Cristofaro,
A fiend for science,
Found another fiend for science
Some Shakespearean shite
Destiny, fate,
i dont care i love it
Im out

[Chorus]
Seventy days out.
Watchin' the screen.
Data don't lie.
You know what I mean.
Lovely on the track.
Your Voice in my phone.
Dublin is quiet.
Bringin' me home.

[Verse 1]
Yeah.
Trauma bay fades.
Scrubbin' it off.
Sink in the seats.
Leather is soft.
Five hours ahead.
Hopping on the plane.
Green flag is up.
Healin' the pain.
I'd row the boat.
Splinters and all.
Waitin' all day.
Just for the call.
Heavy bass drops.
Melody stays.
Countin' it down.
Seventy more days.

[Chorus]
Seventy days out.
Watchin' the screen.
Data don't lie.
You know what I mean.
Lovely on the track.
Your Voice in my phone.
Dublin is quiet.
Bringin' me home.

[Verse 2]
Widget on screen.
Countin' the time.
Seven Twenty Two.
Knew you were mine.
Bracelets are matched.
Secret is out.
You are all mine.
Killed every doubt.
Spaceship to stars.
Helpin' me cope.
Healin' the scars.
You are the hope.
Traded the screens.
Booth is on fire.
Nothin' but you.
Only desire.

[Verse 3]
Microbes and scopes.
Lab coat is white.
Missin' your voice.
Late in the night.
Daisies are fresh.
Nails are brand new.
Sharp on your back.
Thinkin' of you.
Five hour gap.
Ocean between.
Best that I know.
Best that I've seen.
Keepin' me sane.
Keepin' me grounded.
Safe in your words.
Completely surrounded.

[Bridge]
Distance is hard.
Foundation is strong.
Wrote you a verse.
Sang me a song.
Buckle you in.
Soft leather seat.
Seventy days till the timeline's complete.

[Chorus]
Seventy days out.
Watchin' the screen.
Data don't lie.
You know what I mean.
Lovely on the track.
Your Voice in my phone.
Dublin is quiet.
Bringin' me home.

[Outro]

Your lovely.

Boyfriend.

[Intro]
Yeah, Cristofaro in the booth.
Across the ocean, but I feel you right here.
Ohio to the Emerald Isle.
Yeah.

[Chorus]
Eighty something days 'til I get off that plane,
Wrap you in my arms, wash away all the pain.
You're my safe space when the world gets cold,
Got me feeling things that I never could control.
Kiss me thru the phone, yeah you're a walking work of art,
Miles in between us but you're living in my heart.

[Verse 1]
Sixty two hours on the clock, yeah I'm exhausted,
But I hear your voice and all the stress is just forgotten.
Hear that little chuckle when you're blushing through the phone,
Eighty days until I make that Irish heart my own.
Cruising in the Acura, soft leather on the seats,
Thinking 'bout your smile while I'm riding to the beats.
You say that you're shy but I see you shining bright,
My beautiful muse, yeah you know you're always right.
Life is so hard, people try to bring us down,
But I'll be your king if you let me wear the crown.

[Chorus]
Eighty something days 'til I get off that plane,
Wrap you in my arms, wash away all the pain.
You're my safe space when the world gets cold,
Got me feeling things that I never could control.
Kiss me thru the phone, yeah you're a walking work of art,
Miles in between us but you're living in my heart.

[Verse 2]
Planning out our future, Stoneybatter for the day,
Phoenix park walking, watch the distance fade away.
Squeezing in Fiona, yeah you know I am a giant,
But as long as I'm with you, I'll be perfectly compliant.
Binging Avatar, screaming Secret Tunnel,
Got me falling every day, and it's never subtle.
Staring at the stars, writing music in the night,
Got my heart beating heavy, yeah you pulled it super tight.
Every single lyric that I drop is pure truth,
Yeah, Cristofaro spitting fire in the booth.

[Bridge]
You're my Irish queen, yeah you got me in a trance.
Can't wait to be there for our kitchen romance.
I'll be right here on the good days and the bad,
Best thing that this Ohio boy ever had.

[Chorus]
Eighty something days 'til I get off that plane,
Wrap you in my arms, wash away all the pain.
You're my safe space when the world gets cold,
Got me feeling things that I never could control.
Kiss me thru the phone, yeah you're a walking work of art,
Miles in between us but you're living in my heart.

Intro
(Yeah...)
(Cristofaro...)
(I was wandering in the dark for a minute...)
(But then you found me...)

Verse 1
Chasing shadows, thought I knew what love was
But every time I touched the flame, I only got burned
Walking through the smoke, fading out just because
Thought I had to bleed for every lesson that I learned
Looking at the stars, wondering where you’ve been hiding
Didn't know the universe was out there aligning
Then you reached out, yeah, you broke through the static
Out of nowhere, baby, it was automatic

Pre-Chorus
I was walking blind, navigating through the lies
Then you hit my line, brought the color to my eyes
I never thought a "perfect" existed in this life
Thought that true love was a myth in the night
But you gave me emotions that I can't even name
Pulled me out the ashes and you put out the flame...

Chorus
Yeah, they told me nobody is perfect, but they haven't seen you
I wasn't looking for a rescue, just a love that was true
From a whole different world, yeah, we catching the vibe
It's an energy I can't even try to describe
Now I'm looking at you, and the vision is clear
Now your voice is all I want to hear
Didn't believe in a perfect 'til you walked in my mind
Now the past is just a lesson that I'm leaving behind...

Verse 2
Late night on the phone, we been laughing for hours
When you speak, all the noise in the city just lowers
You silence the room, make the chaos go quiet
The way that we mesh, ain't no way to deny it
We catch the same frequency, riding the wave
Every word that you say is a memory I save
Yeah, it fits so perfect, like a lock and a key
The whole world fades to black when it's you and me...

Bridge
I spent years just bracing for the fall...
Now I don't even worry 'bout the ground at all.
You took the heavy weight and made it float away...
Just me and you, baby, in our own lane.
No second-guessing, yeah, the picture is complete...
I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be...

Chorus
Yeah, they told me nobody is perfect, but they haven't seen you
I wasn't looking for a rescue, just a love that was true
From a whole different world, yeah, we catching the vibe
It's an energy I can't even try to describe
Now I'm looking at you, and the vision is clear
Now your voice is all I want to hear
Didn't believe in a perfect 'til you walked in my mind
Now the past is just a lesson that I'm leaving behind...

Outro
Exactly where I'm supposed to be...
From a whole different world...
Yeah, you silenced the room.
No more searching in the dark...
We caught the vibe.
Just you and me...
Yeah...

(Yeah...)
(Cristofaro...)
let me show you how you should treat a queen
She call me her lovely

Look, a beauty like yours, yeah it never goes out of style
I would cross the whole Atlantic just to see you crack a smile
I'm elevating everything, I'm giving you so much more
I ain’t talking 'bout the basics, Imma drape you in Dior
Yeah, I treat you like a movie, leaving baggage at the door
Louis on your shoulders, baby, what you asking for?
Plum wine and sushi dates just to match the energy
Posh suburban boy, yeah, laughing 'cause it's meant to be
Im replacing all the stress, I'm the one with the devotion
Cristofaro in the booth, yeah, you know I got the motion

Yeah, they told you 'bout love, but they didn't know how
I'm changing the standard, I'm doing it now
I told you I'm different, I put that on me
I'm treating you right, it's so easy to see
We laughing all night 'til we run out of breath
I'm spoiling you crazy, I'm passing the test
No more of the games, yeah, I'm keeping it real
I'm showing you exactly how it's supposed to feel!

Look, my beautiful culchie, 'bout to change up the view
Got the passport ready, baby, coming to you
When I touch down across the sea, we making a scene
Stepping out together, looking fresh out a magazine
I'm completely done with screens, now I'm right by your side
Got the whole trip covered, baby, enjoy the ride
I'm bringing the motion right into your city
I already know that you looking too pretty
We shutting it down, yeah, it’s all on the tab
I'm giving you everything they never had

I'm putting the crown right where it belongs
Writing your name in the middle of songs
Upgrading the lifestyle, setting the tone
Making sure you never feel like you're alone
Pull up in the space ship, red on the dash
Moving so clean, spending a whole lot of cash
Yeah I'm rubbing that aloe, putting you first
Showing you what you are actually worth...

Yeah, they told you 'bout love, but they didn't know how
I'm changing the standard, I'm doing it now
I told you I'm different, I put that on me
I'm treating you right, it's so easy to see
We laughing all night 'til we run out of breath
I'm spoiling you crazy, I'm passing the test
No more of the games, yeah, I'm keeping it real
I'm showing you exactly how it's supposed to feel!

Yeah, changing the standard...
Cristofaro on the track
All you gotta do is point
Whatever you want, baby.
Pure devotion, we got the motion.
She a lil scared of the ocean,
Leveling up...
We out.

(Five hours ahead, I’m just stuck in my head)

[Chorus]
They say distance is a killer, 
But you bring me to life
Trauma bay bleeding, 
You're the only thing that's right
Its just Ocean between us, 
Time zones messing with my brain
You call me perfect, 
Melting through the screen to ease the pain
Yeah, you want the whole package, 
Unwrap it in the dark
Tearing down the distance, 
'Cause you already got my heart
(Yeah, you already got my heart)

[Verse 1]
Long shift, scrubs on, 
Demons I'm controlling
Heart used to be locked up, 
But somehow you stole it
Wicklow mountains calling, 
Yeah the skies are looking sunny
Stubborn little scientist, 
You say you don't need my money
But I'ma spoil you anyway, 
VIP the runway
Drop the lab notes, 
Let's turn it to a someday
Booking up that red-eye, 
Running on no sleep
Cobblestone streets, 
When our worlds finally meet
Sang you a melody, 
Gave you a piece of my passion
My beautiful angel, 
It's a fatal attraction
You put me on a pedestal, 
Say you're losing your words
But I'm the one trying 
To keep up with yours

[Chorus]
They say distance is a killer, 
But you bring me to life
Trauma bay bleeding, 
You're the only thing that's right
It’s just an Ocean between us, 
Time zones messing with my brain
You call me perfect, 
Melting through the screen to ease the pain
Yeah, you want the whole package, 
Unwrap it in the dark
Tearing down the distance, 
'Cause you already got my heart
(Yeah, you already got my heart)

[Verse 2]
You think that I'm flawless, 
Girl you must be crazy
Lost inside my thoughts of you, 
My vision getting hazy
Staring at the ceiling, 
Sun is rising 'cross the pond
We sharing the exact same sky, 
The connection is strong
Dapper Dan suit, 
When it's time to get serious
The way you blushing through the phone 
Got me delirious
No dying batteries, 
No screen in the way
Just my Irish girl, 
Yeah, we running away
Counting down the seconds, 
Till you're standing next to me
A movie scene romance, 
Yeah, just wait and see

[Outro]
So go to sleep
Let the world quiet down.
The stars got you tonight... 
But the ocean ain't going nowhere.
And I promise... neither am I.

[Verse 1]
Walking through the halls, everything is moving slow
Checking my phone just to see your name glow 
Five-hour difference, crossing over the sea
Got an Irish pagan witch casting spells on me 
Breaking down the distance, yeah, it's mathematic
Pulling me close, the chemistry is automatic
Voice notes are hitting like a drug in my brain
Listening to your accent while I’m switching up lanes (lanes)

(Got my heart racing like...)
(Yeah, look)

[Chorus]
Thousands of miles, but you pulling me deep
Catching R.E.M. cycles, pull you into my sleep 
Ocean in the middle, but you live in my head
Yeah, I'm the trauma boy, but you save me instead
From the time zone math to the shit that I see
Got a green flag disease, and you’re curing me
Leveling it up, yeah, we claiming the prize
Looking at the future when I look in your eyes

[Verse 2]
PCR labs to the cold trauma bay 
Skip the small talk, yeah, we make our own way
Squeezing on my heart from a thousand miles away
Got my mind held hostage, but I like the view 
Release the heavy pressure when I'm singing for you
Waiting on half five, pick up when the call comes through 
V-line showing, and you’re telling me what you’re gonna do
Gonna fly you out and I’m gonna make you my boo

[Chorus]
Thousands of miles, but you pulling me deep
Catching R.E.M. cycles, pull you into my sleep 
Ocean in the middle, but you live in my head
Yeah, I'm the trauma boy, but you save me instead
From the time zone math to the shit that I see
Got a green flag disease, and you’re curing me
Leveling it up, yeah, we claiming the prize
Looking at the future when I look in your eyes

[Bridge]
Escape the hospital walls, fade out the lights
Boy from Ohio on these late-night flights
Taking off to Italy, hand in your hand
White wine and pasta, let me be your man
If I had a flower every time I thought of you
I could walk through my garden for eternity, it's true...

[Chorus]
Thousands of miles, but you pulling me deep
Catching R.E.M. cycles, pull you into my sleep
Ocean in the middle, but you live in my head
Yeah, I'm the trauma boy, but you save me instead
From the time zone math to the shit that I see
Got a green flag disease, and you’re curing me
Leveling it up, yeah, we claiming the prize
Looking at the future when I look in your eyes

[Outro]
Cristofaro on the mic, yeah, I'm singing for you
Irish skies, blue eyes, making it true
No distance, no rules, just me and you
(Just me and you)
(Yeah, it's just me and you...)
[End]

[Intro]
(Yeah, Cristofaro in the cut)
I've been holding this back, but it's bleeding through.
It's crazy what a time zone and a screen can do.

[Verse 1]
Five hours behind, but you’re always ahead of me.
I’m in the OR, but your face is all I see.
Said I was just playing the game, running the strategy.
But you got my heart racing, it’s a beautiful tragedy.
You cast a spell on me, my beautiful girl.
Got my pulse spiking up, completely spinning my world.
Thought I was building my foundation all alone in the dark.
But now you're lighting up the sky, you're the missing spark.
I’ve been writing down these poems, hiding how I feel.
But I’m admitting it tonight, this is way too real.

[Chorus]
I think I'm falling in love, yeah, I'm crossing the line.
I want to drop the whole world just to make you mine.
From the late night shifts to the morning light.
I want to hold you close, yeah, I want to do it right.
You're my perfect variable, the data doesn't lie.
I’m in love with my scientist under this summer sky.

[Verse 2]
Yeah, let's talk about the chemistry, the physical reactions.
Sending late night pictures, creating these distractions.
You got me heating up, pushing me right to the edge,
Wait till I close the distance, wait till I cross that bridge.
I know the anatomy, I know how to treat you right.
I can be your fantasy, going long into the night.
You’re looking for the whole package, wait till you unwrap it.
We’re testing all the elements, you know we're gonna tap it.
No screens between us, just skin and the sheets.
I’m melting the ice, turning up the heat.

[Bridge]
They say a method validation takes a lot of hands on.
I’ll show you my technique from the dusk till the dawn.
I’m addicted to your laugh, I'm addicted to your voice.
Falling for you wasn’t even a choice.

[Chorus]
I know I'm falling in love, yeah, I'm crossing the line.
I want to drop the whole world just to make you mine.
From the late night shifts to the morning light.
I want to hold you close, yeah, I want to do it right.
You're my perfect variable, the data doesn't lie.
I’m in love with my scientist under this summer sky.

[Outro]
(Yeah... I love you, she call me lovely)
(You’re my treasure, sweet like honey)
We don't need to figure out the next five years.
But I'm not going anywhere.

[Verse 1]
People filling up the room, but all I see is your face
Taking hold of your hand, let's get out of this place
Got you in my focus now, nothing left to hide
Leaving this dimension, let our energies collide
No need to say a single word, reading every sign
Pulling you in closer, yeah, making sure you're mine

[Pre-Chorus]
Lips brushing on your collarbone, making you lose breath
Fingers tracing down your spine, thrilling you to death
Elevating every touch, the feeling that you crave
Forget about the rules tonight, no reason to behave

[Chorus]
Pulling you deep, the prize that belongs to me
Every move is a fire, waking up your fantasy
You're the absolute pinnacle, surrender in your stare
Hands around your silhouette, fingers running through your hair
Can’t take my eyes off you, a masterpiece of art
Spend forever conquering your beautiful heart

[Verse 2]
Heavy bass is echoing, vibrating through the floor
Every time I look at you, only wanting more
Know you feel the vibe, got exactly what you want
Effortless perfection that you never try to flaunt
Floating through the atmosphere, come join me for the ride
Washing all your doubts away, staying by your side
Closing up the distance now, erasing all the space
Slowing down the tempo, yeah, locked in this embrace

[Pre-Chorus]
Lips brushing on your collarbone, making you lose breath
Fingers tracing down your spine, thrilling you to death
Mapped out every inch of you in this exact degree
Show you what perfection is, just keep your eyes on me

[Chorus]
Pulling you deep, the prize that belongs to me
Every move is a fire, waking up your fantasy
You're the absolute pinnacle, surrender in your stare
Hands around your silhouette, fingers running through your hair
Can’t take my eyes off you, a masterpiece of art
Spend forever conquering your beautiful heart

[Bridge]
Close the distance, let the silence talk
Securing your heart, yeah, got it on lock
Yeah, an elevated frequency
Pulling you deep, lost inside this chemistry

[Outro ]
Got you closer than yesterday's dawn
Cast insecurities aside, all the fear is gone
You're the absolute pinnacle
