Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Late shift at the campus café Ink stains on my fingers again Group chat says “shots at midnight” I’m chasing one more deadline instead They’re barefoot in a hallway I’m buried in a borrowed book Smell of ramen Sleepless summer Trying not to come unhooked [Chorus] No one told me it hits like this Harder than the brochure bliss High on the terror of what if I miss (what if I miss?) No one warned me my chest would shake Exhilarated Wide awake While they’re all gone I’m the one that stays I’m the one that stays [Verse 2] Cheap wine in a plastic solo Echoes down the dorm-room wall They brag about “not feeling nothing” I feel every tiny thing fall They’re laughing at a locked screen I’m budgeting on loose change Booking flights in secret windows Dreaming in another language [Chorus] No one told me it hits like this Harder than the brochure bliss High on the terror of what if I miss (what if I miss?) No one warned me my chest would shake Exhilarated Wide awake While they’re all gone I’m the one that stays I’m the one that stays [Bridge] I walk home under buzzing signs Cold air in my lungs Clear mind They call it boring I call it mine I call it mine (yeah) If growing up is a lonely climb I lace my boots I take my time I won’t trade this sharp Electric life For one more blurry night [Chorus] No one told me it hits like this Harder than the brochure bliss High on the terror of what if I miss (what if I miss?) No one warned me my chest would shake Exhilarated Wide awake While they’re all gone I’m the one that stays I’m the one that stays (I’m the one that stays)

Verses stay low and intimate with close-mic vocal, small-room reverb, and glitchy ear-candy. Chorus opens wide with stacked harmonies and a bright lead hook, then drops into a sparse, heavy beat for the post-chorus chant. Occasional pitched-down backing vocals underline the “deep voice” vibe., beats, electro, exhilarating, deep
