Wide Awake All Day

[Verse 1]
You have no idea
How many times
Thoughts
Worries
(daydreams of you)
Have kept me wide awake
All day
And all night
[Chorus]
I never wanted you to go away
Not your laugh
Not your name
Every little thing you do just stays
In my head
On replay
I never wanted you to fade to gray
Even when it hurts this way
I never wanted anything
Anything about you to go away
[Verse 2]
Coffee gone cold
Phone face down
Scroll past your street
Heart slows down
I tell my friends
“I’m okay
I’m okay”
Then your shadow slips
Back into my day
[Chorus]
I never wanted you to go away
Not your laugh
Not your name
Every little thing you do just stays
In my head
On replay
I never wanted you to fade to gray
Even when it hurts this way
I never wanted anything
Anything about you to go away
[Bridge]
If you only knew
How loud it gets
When the room is quiet
And I still feel you here (mmm)
I’d say “hello”
Just once more
Just to hear you say it back
Like before
[Chorus]
I never wanted you to go away
Not your laugh
Not your name
Every little thing you do just stays
In my head
On replay
I never wanted you to fade to gray
Even when it hurts this way
I never wanted anything
Anything about you to go away

Intimate indie-pop ballad with close-mic female vocals, soft fingerpicked guitar, and warm pads. verses stay hushed and conversational; chorus blooms with stacked harmonies and subtle percussion swells. Light piano doubles key phrases for emotional impact, with a gentle lift into the bridge and a tender, lingering outro.
