Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] We were kids in grown-up shoes Sharing secrets after school Four years felt like forever Thought I couldn't lose you Then your name went quiet on my phone Every road home felt wrong Tried to hate you Couldn't do it Just kept replaying what went wrong [Chorus] Now we're back after the break Little cracks But we still don't shake Yeah We bent But we didn't fade Guess some things don't wash away We were lost But we found our way Back after the break [Verse 2] One month felt like a long storm Empty seat Empty jokes Checked your page at 2 a.m Just to see if you'd post Then you called and said "Hey You free?" Heart jumped right out of me Awkward laughs in the parking lot Like "So… how've you been Honestly?" [Chorus] Now we're back after the break Little cracks But we still don't shake Yeah We bent But we didn't fade Guess some things don't wash away We were lost But we found our way Back after the break [Bridge] We don't have to be the same as before (mm) We can draw new lines on the floor "I’m still me" / "I'm still me too" Can we learn from what we put us through? [Chorus] Now we're back after the break Little cracks But we still don't shake Yeah We bent But we didn't fade Guess some things don't wash away We were lost But we chose to stay Back after the break (after the break) Back after the break

Warm indie-pop with subtle R&B swing, male or female vocals. Clean electric guitar and soft keys in the verses, light shaker groove and round bass. Chorus lifts with stacked harmonies and a tighter drum pocket. Bridge strips back to almost solo vocal, then full-band re-entry on the final chorus for a hopeful, forgiving glow.
