Phantom Route

[Verse 1]
The blue street lamp on your gate at Kofo Abayomi,
Make your face look like a chart I never see.
This December harmattan dey bite my skin with teeth,
But your head on my shoulder is the only true belief.

[Chorus]
But I still chart this phantom route inside my head,
Every single turn to take after you leave my bed.
Ah, no mind me, my love, I'm just planning far ahead,
I dey plot my coordinates for the loneliness I dread.

[Verse 2]
The one-room place I see, e get one window facing east,
The pressure from the water pump, it never finds release.
You whisper, "Bayo, what you thinking?", hand upon my chest,
I'm just calculating distance, putting discipline to test.

[Chorus]
'Cause I still chart this phantom route inside my head,
Every single turn to take after you leave my bed.
Ah, no mind me, my love, I'm just planning far ahead,
I dey plot my coordinates for the loneliness I dread.

[Bridge]
At sea, they teach you how to anchor in a squall,
To find your bearing when you can't hear nothing else at all.

[Chorus]
(Main Vocal)
So I still chart this phantom route inside my head,
Every single turn to take after you leave my bed.
(Countermelody - softer, echoey)
(Meet me on the horizon line...)
Ah, no mind me, my love, I'm just planning far ahead,
(Don't you leave me drifting...)
I dey plot my coordinates for the loneliness I dread.

[Outro]
You squeeze my hand.
The engine still dey run.
