[Verse 1]
In the endless fight of desire
A game of chasing and chasing I chase you down
In this grid reigning king, yeah, that’s me, right
You’re trapped and in the dark
I’m dragged into chaos, oh-oh

[Pre-Chorus]
So hear out
In the pitch-black night I follow the light, come join the show
So stay up
In the dangerous mind, turning the tables and moving forward, we go up, up, up

A symphony at your fingertips
Capture you I going mess it up, yeah
I got no time to wait
I’m betting my last move

[Chorus]
(I’m feeling you) It’s a checkmate, I want you deep in my heart
(I’m feeling you) It’s a checkmate, this love like fate
(I’m feeling you) It’s a checkmate, queen of this game, I want you
In this rough world, I want you, you, you, you, you

[Post-Chorus]
I look only at you in the morning, I go only for you in the rain
I lean on you I keep falling, turn on the strings in the darkness, raise the gain
I look only at you in the morning, I go only for you in the rain
I like this game, shout checkmate
I want you, you, you, you, you

[Verse 2]
An endless maze, this is a rigged game
Tangled desire, I’m running out of time
Love is dangerous, sometimes fabulous
Baby, you’re flawless
A to Z, can’t hide it, woah

[Pre-Chorus]
So hear out
In the pitch-black night, I follow the light, come join the show
So stay up
Flipping the dangerous mind, we go up, up, up
A symphony at the tip of my fingers
Capture you I going mess it up, yeah
I got no time to wait
I’m making the last move

[Chorus]
(I’m feeling you) It’s a checkmate, I want you deep in my heart
(I’m feeling you) It’s a checkmate, this love like fate
(I’m feeling you) It’s a checkmate, queen of this game, I want you
In this rough world, I want you, you, you, you, you

[Post-Chorus]
I only look at you in the morning, I only look for you in the rain
Leaning on you, I keep falling, Raise the gain in the darkness
I only look at you in the morning, I only look for you in the rain
I like this game, shout out checkmate
I want you, you, you, you, you

[Bridge]
All the time, you break my mind, break my mind
All the time, you break my mind, break my mind
All the time, you break my mind, break my mind
But I can’t look away, yeah

[Chorus]
It’s a checkmate, I want you deep in my heart
(I’m feeling you) It’s a checkmate, this fate love
(I’m feeling you) It’s a checkmate, queen of this game I want you
In this rough world, I want you, you, you, you, you

I only look at you in the morning, I only look for you in the rain
Leaning on you I keep falling, Turn on the strings in the darkness Raise the gain
I only look at you in the morning, I only look for you in the rain
I like this game, Shout out checkmate
I want you, you, you, you, you

[Outro]
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, I want you, I want you, I want you
Rough one, rough one
In this rough world
I want you, you, you, you, you
