[INTRO: Soft electric piano, faint room tone, warm synth pulse, tape hiss. No drums.]
[VERSE 1: Calm, conversational MALE voice.]
[MAIN VOICE]
I woke up early
For no good reason.
Made some coffee,
Forgot to drink it.
Stood by the window
Watching the rain.
Thought about calling somebody...
Couldn't think of a name.
[BACKGROUND VOICE: Spoken MALE voice. Dry, clear, NOT sung.]
That's impressive.
[MAIN VOICE]
Shut up.
[PRE-CHORUS: Soft kick enters. Bass rises.]
Some days I feel
Like I'm almost there.
Then something changes
And I'm somewhere else.
[CHORUS: Catchy, simple, melodic. Big emotional release.]
Maybe I'm somewhere in between.
Not where I was,
Not where I thought I'd be.
Maybe I'm somewhere in between.
Half awake,
Half inside a dream.
I don't know what it means...
But I kinda like
Somewhere in between.
[VERSE 2: Beat returns.]
I drove past the old place
The other day.
Almost turned around.
Kept going instead.
There was a song on the radio
I hadn't heard in years.
I knew every word.
Didn't know I remembered it.
[BACKGROUND VOICE: Spoken MALE.]
You remember everything.
[MAIN VOICE]
Unfortunately.
[PRE-CHORUS: Bass rises.]
I keep finding pieces
Of old days
In completely ordinary places.
[CHORUS]
Maybe I'm somewhere in between.
Not where I was,
Not where I thought I'd be.
Maybe I'm somewhere in between.
Half awake,
Half inside a dream.
I don't know what it means...
But I kinda like
Somewhere in between.
[INSTRUMENTAL: 45–60 seconds. NO VOCALS. Warm bass, sparkling synths, piano motif, subtle glitch percussion. Let the melody breathe.]
[BRIDGE: Piano and soft pad only.]
[MAIN VOICE: Quiet MALE voice.]
Maybe I don't need
To figure it out.
[Pause.]
I've been figuring things out
For years.
[BACKGROUND VOICE: Spoken MALE.]
How's that going?
[MAIN VOICE]
...Not great.
[FINAL BUILD: Kick returns. Bass rises. Synths widen. Layered MALE vocals.]
[FINAL CHORUS: Biggest section. Full drums, huge synths, layered MALE vocals, soaring melody.]
Maybe I'm somewhere in between.
Not where I was,
Not where I thought I'd be.
Maybe I'm somewhere in between.
Half awake,
Half inside a dream.
I don't know what it means...
But I kinda like
Somewhere in between.
[BACKGROUND VOICE: Quiet, spoken MALE.]
Yeah.
[MAIN VOICE]
Yeah.
[OUTRO: Piano and synth fade.]
I think I'll stay here
For a while.
[Silence.]
