It Clicks

[ Lyrics ]

Then it clicks — then it clicks.

Then it clicks — and I’m back in it.

Fifth take, same line, still don’t feel right,
voice cracks on the high note like a faulty light.
Engineer leans back, says, ‘Just breathe, sis —
don’t force the magic, let the moment exist.’
I sip my tea, watch the clock flip ten,
then hum a phrase — and it comes again.
Not louder, not bold, just a shift in the air,
like the song was always hiding right there.

And the piano lifts — one note, then two,
I feel it in my ribs, like I’m breaking through.
The beat finds my pulse, no need to fake —
then it clicks… 

Then it clicks, and I’m back in it,
goosebumps rising every second, no gimmick.
Lyrics line up, beat in step with my soul,
every wrong turn led to this moment I know.
Then it clicks — I can feel it, I see it,
this is mine, no committee, no ceiling.

Layer the ad-libs — soft, like a ghost,
record my laugh when the line hits most.
Used to chase the hit, overplan the spark,
now I just show up, do the work in the dark.
That melody once felt like a thief,
now it sings through me, light and brief.
The bridge we scrapped? We revive it now —
flip the key, flip the mood, it fits somehow.

Pads lift, heart skips, I lock in the groove,
it’s not luck — it’s the hours I proved.
No script, no trick — just the truth I let leak…
then it clicks… 

Then it clicks, and I’m back in it,
goosebumps rising every second, no gimmick.
Lyrics line up, beat in step with my soul,
every wrong turn led to this moment I know.
Then it clicks — I can feel it, I see it,
this is mine, no committee, no ceiling.

Used to beg for signs, wait for someone to say,
‘Yeah, this one’s the one’ — now I know the way.
It’s the silence before the snare hits hard,
the breath before the chorus scars.
It’s the song that won’t leave my head at night —
now it breathes, now it fights, now it *lives*.

Then it clicks, and I’m *in* it,
no disguise, no permission — I’m winning.
Vocals lift, heart aligned with the track,
every scar on the journey came back.
Then it clicks — clear mind, full vision,
I don’t need no hit, I just need this moment.
Then it clicks…
