[Snare march builds into full groove]

[Verse 1]
[Driving bass groove, muted guitar rhythm, organ swells, piano accents]
Moonlight falling through the trees
You were standing next to me
Every word we tried to say
Only made it harder walking away

Every touch and every glance
Felt like one last chance
Like a story fading slow
With nowhere left to go

[Pre-Chorus]
[Tambourine, synth pulse, layered harmonies]
Stay a little longer
Hold me just a while
Give me one more reason
One more fragile smile

Every second feels too small
Like we’re losing it all

[Verse]
Romeo,
You are my hero
(Juliet… I’ll never forget)

You were fire in the rain
You were pleasure mixed with pain
Every memory remains
Running circles through my veins

[Chorus]
[Full band, stacked vocals, bright synths]
Parting is such…
(Sweet sorrow)
… till tomorrow
(Miss you much)

Every goodbye breaks my heart
(Still I know we’ll never part)
Every tear and every touch
(Makes me miss you twice as much)

Parting is such…
(Sweet sorrow)
… till tomorrow
(Miss you much)

[Instrumental Break]
[Guitar solo, organ stabs, bass groove, drum fills]

[Verse 2]
[Heavier drums, walking bass, piano stabs, electric guitar accents]
Streetlights shimmer in the dark
Like tiny echoes of your spark
Every corner of this town
Feels a little emptier now

I can still hear your voice
In the silence and the noise
Every little thing you do
Still comes back to me and you

[Pre-Chorus]
[Layered harmonies, synth rise]
Stay a little longer
Hold me just a while
Give me one more reason
One more fragile smile

Every second feels too small
Like we’re losing it all

[Chorus]
[Full power arrangement, louder drums, choir vocals]
Parting is such…
(Sweet sorrow)
… till tomorrow
(Miss you much)

Every goodbye breaks my heart
(Still I know we’ll never part)
Every tear and every touch
(Makes me miss you twice as much)

Parting is such…
(Sweet sorrow)
… till tomorrow
(Miss you much)

[Bridge – Breakdown]
[Drop to bass groove, filtered drums, soft organ, whispered vocals]
Maybe tomorrow
We’ll meet again
Maybe this story
Never really ends

Every heartbeat
Every sigh
Keeps you with me
Through the night

In a world of broken glass
You were something built to last
Every shadow every strain
Fades away when you remain

When the noise is closing in
And the chaos starts again
You can calm the storm somehow
Bring me back to here and now

Bear witness (S. S.)
Sweet (Sweetness)
I confess (S. S.)

Keeps me from falling apart again

Calling out but crystal clear
Every thought a gentle stream
Flowing through a waking dream

Sweet…

(Too, too sweet…)

[Verse 1]
[Driving bass, muted guitar rhythm, soft piano, organ accents]
She walked in like calories on fire
Burning through the room with desire
Every smile a little too bright
Every word a little too light

I chased the glow, I took the bait
Didn’t see the cracks in the plate
Every laugh, a subtle sting
Every touch, a dangerous thing

[Pre-Chorus]
[Tambourine, synth pulse, rising vocal harmonies]
I wanted more
(That’s for sure)
I couldn’t see her
(Through all that glitter)
Hides the debris
(Too much honey)
Leaves a scar
(Should of let ‘er be)
… and stayed afar

[Chorus]
[Full band, stacked vocals, bright synths]
She was sweet
(Too, too sweet)
Left a bad taste
(Ended in waste)

All the sugar
(Turns to pain)
Should’ve stayed further
(From her vain)

She was sweet
(Too, too sweet)
Left a bad taste
(Ended in waste)

[Verse 2]
[Heavier drums, walking bass, piano stabs, electric guitar]
Late night whispers, early regrets
Promises tangled in silhouettes
I thought it was heaven, I thought it was real
But every delight had its steal

Every kiss a little too sharp
Every glance a poisoned dart
I fell too fast, I gave too much
And got burned by her tender touch

[Pre-Chorus]
[Layered harmonies, synth rise]
I wanted more
(Then before)
I couldn’t see
(To let her be)
All that glitter
Hides debris
(Should have left her)
Way too much money
(Leaves a scar)
Left me silly
(Shouldn’t have strayed that far)

[Chorus]
[Full power, louder drums, choir vocals]
She was sweet
(Too, too sweet)
Left a bad taste
(Ended in waste)

She was sweet
(Too, too sweet)
Left a bad taste
(Ended in waste)

You held it up for all to see

(Calling to me through the night)

Every color, every sound
(Spinning slowly all around)
I was reaching much too fast
(Never thinking it would last)

[Pre-Chorus]
[Tambourine, synth pulse, rising harmonies]
I was rushing
(Pushing too fast)
Never knowing
(Nothing can last)
Now I’m wondering
(What’d I miss)
Still pondering
(A first kiss)

[Bridge]
Oh, the strife of life
(I forgot to take a bite)
Can you give me some insight
(Was it wrong or was it right?)

Did I miss the moment
Did it slip away
Did I miss the flavor
Carried away with savor

[Chorus]

How does it taste
(Did it go to waste)
Was it oh so sweet

Every second disappears
Leaving only little traces here
Like a flavor on the tongue
Gone before the song is sung

[Pre-Chorus]

(Moving too fast)
Never knowing
(Nothing can last)
Now I’m wondering

[Intro]
[Muted Guitar Chops, Bass Pulse, Hand Claps]
Everybody wants a piece
(A little chaos, a little peace)
Not too high, not too low
(Just enough to steal the show)

[Spoken Vocal]
Somewhere between too much and not enough
Is where the magic starts

[Build]
[Synth Rise, Organ Swell, Snare Build]
Come on now
(Right here, right now)
Let’s search for it
(A bit…)

[Verse 1]

Everybody wants a little more
Something they can’t ignore
Push too hard and lose the plot
But not tonight, no not tonight

[Pre-Chorus]
[Hand Claps, Organ Chords, Rising Harmony]
Too fast and you burn out
(Too slow and you fade out)
Somewhere in between
(Is where the sparks come clean)

[Chorus]
Oh, come on we aught
(To hit the sweet spot)
Come on, come on… why not
(Hit the sweet spot)
Right on the line
(Where the stars align)
Not too cold, not too hot
(Hit the sweet spot)

[Verse 2]
[Synth Pulse, Rhythm Guitar, Steady Groove]
Every move is give and take
Every chance is yours to make
Don’t overthink every shot
Just let it roll, just let it roll

[Pre-Chorus]
[Build with Toms, Organ Swell]
Too loud and it falls flat
(Too quiet and that’s that)
Somewhere in the sound
(Is where we’re finally found)

[Chorus]
Oh, come on we aught
(To hit the sweet spot)
Come on, come on… why not
(Hit the sweet spot)
Right on the line
(Where the stars align)
Not too cold, not too hot
(Hit the sweet spot)

Right here on the dot
(We hit the sweet spot)

[Outro]

(Sweet spot)
Come on, come on… why not

You keep echoing in me

Drawing lines that never end

One more hand can change a heart

One kind word can light the spark
One bright flame can cut the dark
