Prompt / Lyrics
(Bass-forward, late-night city energy) ⸻ INTRO (Muted guitar stabs, dry drums, bass slides in slow and confident) Streetlights buzzing like they know our names Another night pretending this is new ⸻ VERSE 1 Talking in circles at two in the morning Same old streets, same cigarettes You’re leaning close like you’ve got something But you’re just tracing the alphabet You say my name like it’s accidental Like it just slipped out your mouth We dodge the point, stay ornamental Like honesty might kill the crowd ⸻ PRE-CHORUS And I can tell by the way you stall You’re rehearsing the exit call ⸻ CHORUS You only call when you’re bored Say you miss me — nothing more Chemistry with no follow-up plan Just sparks dying where they land We almost meant something But almost’s all we do Dancing around what we both know Like it’s safer not to choose ⸻ POST-CHORUS (Backing vocals, laid-back) Almost… almost… Yeah, we’re really good at almost ⸻ VERSE 2 You play it cool like it’s second nature I play along, but it’s wearing thin We talk in jokes, never future tense Like tomorrow’s some kind of sin You say you’re fine with how this is Like drifting’s better than a stop I lost interest before I lost you Guess I quit before it dropped ⸻ PRE-CHORUS 2 Pretending not to care’s exhausting But it looks good under neon lights ⸻ CHORUS You only call when you’re bored Wrap it up as déjà vu Too cool to admit I miss you So I let my silence do We almost meant something But timing loves a joke Acting casual about serious things Till the feeling finally broke ⸻ 🔥 BASS BREAKDOWN (NEW SECTION) (Drums drop to hi-hats, bass comes front and center — slick, rolling, hypnotic) (Spoken / half-sung, cool delivery) We sit shoulder to shoulder Not saying a word Your knee against mine Like it means something (Bass walks, guitar flicks) I watch you check your phone Like you’re waiting on permission To leave me halfway known (Instrumental groove rides for 8–12 bars) (Bass solo groove — head-nod section) ⸻ BRIDGE (Full band comes back, slightly heavier) I’m not as mysterious as I pretend Just quiet when it gets too real You see right through the armor But we never say what we feel You dance around it, I light another Both of us too proud to bend We could’ve been something dangerous But we settled for pretend ⸻ FINAL CHORUS (EXTENDED) You only call when you’re bored And I still pick up sometimes I say I’m over it, sure But I rehearse you in my mind We almost meant something Yeah, I know that’s not enough But almost feels like modern love When no one wants it rough ⸻ OUTRO (SLOW BURN) (Instruments strip back — bass + soft drums) Talking in circles at two a.m. Same goodbye, different night If this was ever more than habit We were too cool to get it right (Bass fades out last, alone)
