Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Seven years on his shoulder Coffee cups on the same chipped shelf He laughs And I lean closer But my mind runs to someone else Smile like it's scripted I fold the truth behind my teeth Sharing blankets Sharing secrets Saving the sharpest one for me [Chorus] I hide in plain sight Right there in the doorway light Kiss him goodnight While I'm holding her in my mind Loving her quietly Careful as a crossed-out line I stay where I am But I'm drifting Drifting from my own life [Verse 2] Her name tastes strange when I whisper Into the dark where no one hears Screens glow I scroll her pictures Draw little futures I can't keep near If I tell him I could lose him If I tell her She might turn away So I live in this between space Both of them a step away [Chorus] I hide in plain sight Right there in the doorway light Kiss him goodnight While I'm holding her in my mind Loving her quietly Careful as a crossed-out line I stay where I am But I'm drifting Drifting from my own life [Bridge] How long can I balance On this wire inside my chest (oh) Choosing confusion Because choosing means losing the rest If I stay I’m dishonest If I go I break a home So I breathe through the silence And pretend I’m not alone [Chorus] I hide in plain sight Right there in the doorway light Kiss him goodnight While I'm holding her in my mind Loving her quietly Careful as a crossed-out line I stay where I am But I'm drifting Drifting from my own life

Smoky indie pop ballad with female raspy vocals; brushed drums and warm electric piano in the verses, bass and tremolo guitar blooming in the chorus. Intimate, almost spoken delivery that cracks on key words, with tight double-tracked hooks and a late-bridge lift using airy harmonies and a subtle organ pad.
