Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Met you in a thrift store aisle Dust on your headphones Crooked smile You laughed at the holes in my sweater Said "You look better broken anyway" You drew your name on my wrist Tiny blue pen Tiny soft twist Said "Promise you’ll stay for the winter" I stayed while you learned how to leave [Chorus] You had my heart at your fingertips Turned it over like a coin Like a trick Spun it round on the table edge Watched it wobble while I begged You had my love on a string so thin Pulled it tight just to feel it dig in When the shine wore off You let it slip You had my heart My heart at your fingertips [Verse 2] You’d call at 2 a.m "Can you come drive I hate the rain" I’d show up in ten Engine humming You’d change the song Change your mind again You kissed me in parking lot light Tasted of coffee and half-felt goodbyes You said "Don’t read into this too much" Then you watched my face while it cracked [Chorus] [Bridge] You said you’re scared of being needed But you loved the way I leaned You traced my fears like constellations Then turned them off like a TV screen Now I scroll through all our pictures Cropping you out just to breathe You’re somewhere learning a new favorite game With someone else’s heartbeat [Chorus]

Indie rock with bittersweet bite, male vocals. Clean tremolo guitar and a lazy bassline in the verses; drums hang back with dry snare and tight hats. Chorus explodes with overdriven guitars, doubled vocals, and wide backing “oh-oh”s. Bridge strips to vocal + guitar swells before a final, punchy chorus with ad‑libbed frustrations in the outro.
