Unread Messages

(Intro – soft vinyl crackle, low-pass filter, distant keys, whispered ad-libs)
Yeah…
2 a.m., house quiet…
(Verse 1 – minimal drums, warm Rhodes, intimate vocal)
Phone lit up but I don’t hit send,
You passed out stressed, another long day again
Ring on your finger, vows on your chest,
I ain’t trippin’, I just miss your breath
I know the world been pullin’ on you hard,
Deadlines, pressure, life goin’ too far
I type “I need you,” then erase the line,
‘Cause loving you means waitin’ sometimes
(Pre-Chorus – drums build, harmonies fade in)
I ain’t jealous of the job or the noise outside,
Just miss when your body used to reach for mine
I know you tired, I know your mind gone drift,
But I’m right here wantin’ every inch
(Chorus – full drums, layered vocals, reverb swell)
Unread messages, but I’m still yours,
Still want you naked on the kitchen floor
Yeah, we married, but I need that spark,
Need your hands on me in the dark
Unread messages, but I stay true,
Still crave the way you move
Life got crazy, but don’t forget
I still wanna fuck you like we just met
(Verse 2 – bass comes in, sultry delivery)
I remember when you’d pull me close,
Whisper what you’d do to me slow
Now you fall asleep with your clothes on,
Mind still workin’ when the lights gone
I don’t want nobody else’s skin,
I want you to remember who you been
I miss your nails diggin’ in my back,
Miss when you’d say “don’t stop that”
(Pre-Chorus – drop instruments briefly, dry vocal)
I know this ain’t about desire dyin’,
It’s just life keepin’ us divided
But tonight I need you to see,
I’m still that man you married, baby
(Bridge – beat drops, echo, journal-style confession)
This ain’t betrayal, this ain’t temptation,
This is love starvin’ for conversation
I’ll be patient, I’ll hold my ground,
But don’t let us fade into background sound
(Final Chorus – bigger, harmonies stacked, ad-libs)
Unread messages, but I’m still here,
Still want your legs in the chandelier
Yeah, we grown, but I need that fire,
Need your lips, your touch, your desire
Unread messages, but don’t forget,
I’m your husband, not just a bet
Life can wait, let the world fall through,
Tonight I just wanna be with you
(Outro – instruments fade, whispered ad-lib, vinyl crackle returns)
Still yours…
Just open the message…
