[Intro - 0:00]
***_
_soft piano + vinyl crackle + riser_
_spoken, reverb gede: "one last time..."_
*[Verse 1 - 0:15]*
_minimal piano + sidechain pad_
You walked in like a drop
I didn’t see coming
Bass in my heart
You made it start running
We were fireworks in daylight
Loud, wrong time, but bright
Then you said "we’re better as friends"
Now I get it
*[Pre-Chorus - 0:30]*
_build with claps + vocal chop_
No hate, no black and blue
Just late nights turnin' to
Memories I thank you for
You taught me how to move on
Before we were even gone
That’s why...
[Drop/Chorus - 0:45]
_**_
_SUPER SAW DROP + VOCAL CHOP LEAD_
_Kick 4/4 + pluck arp_
This is our last dance
But I’m smiling through the chance
That I got to know your name
Yeah it hurts a bit
When the beat hits
But I’m glad we played the game
No more "what if"
Just a "thank you" in the air
We’re broken hearts
But we still care
So hands up if you’re free
This is our last dance
But first smile’s for me
*[Post-Drop - 1:15]*
_vocal chop "hey, hey" + bass wobble_
_hey, hey, I’m okay_
_hey, hey, thanks for the day_
*[Verse 2 - 1:30]*
_strip back to piano + fx_
We don’t block, we don’t fight
Send memes at midnight
You’re with someone new
I’m happy, it’s true
Hurts like a ghost note
But the melody’s gold
We traded "forever"
For "never better"
*[Pre-Chorus - 1:45]*
_same build, add snare roll_
No tears on the floor
We left through the door
With stories to tell
You broke the shell
I learned to fly
That’s why...
[Drop/Chorus - 2:00]
_**_
_SECOND DROP - bigger, add future bass lfo chords_
This is our last dance
But I’m smiling through the chance
That I got to know your name
Yeah it stings a bit
When the lights hit
But I’m glad we felt the flame
No more "goodbye"
Just a "see you" in the sky
We’re broken hearts
That learned to fly
So hands up if you’re free
This is our last dance
But first smile’s for me
*[Bridge - 2:30]*
_all beat stop. Piano + vocoder_
_spoken:_
People say "don’t dance with your ex"
But why not?
We made a good song
Even if it’s short
So yeah, it ended
But damn, what a set
Thank you for the ticket
To my own sunset
*[Build - 2:45]*
_snare roll + riser + "1, 2, 3, jump"_
If you’re happy and you know it, hands up!
If you’re healing and you glow up, hands up!
This ain’t a sad song
It’s a grad song
We passed
[Final Chorus/Drop - 3:00]
_**_
_FINAL DROP - all out, add guitar pluck + big chords_
This is our last dance
Best night I ever had
No regrets, no pain
Just you in my brain
Smiling in the rain
We’re broken hearts
But we broke chains
So hands up, hands up
If you made it through
This is our last dance
I’m still dancing with you
Yeah, I’m still dancing with you
[Outro - 3:30]
_**_
_piano + reverb tail + crowd cheering fade out_
_whisper, dry:* "...thanks for the set."
