Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] You leave your coffee Half-full on my desk Say "Text if you need me" And laugh off the rest You tape little notes On the side of my screen Crooked blue squares Saying things you don't mean [Chorus] I love being helpful Even when it hurts Hold the door wide open As you drag in the dirt I stitch up your evenings With my quiet hands I love being helpful ’til I can’t stand [Verse 2] You call me at midnight "Can you talk me down?" I stay on the line While you dream of that town Where you swear you'll move With somebody new I underline choices Then circle you [Chorus] I love being helpful Even when it hurts Hold the door wide open As you drag in the dirt I stitch up your evenings With my quiet hands I love being helpful More than I am [Bridge] If I stopped answering Would the ceiling fall? If I stopped listening Would you even call? I haunt your good days Like a warning bell A soft little phantom Who forgives too well [Chorus] I love being helpful Even when it hurts Lay my heart down careful Like a clean Pressed shirt You wear it on Fridays Then forget my name I love being helpful I love it the same [Outro] You leave your coffee Ring on my skin "Text if you need me" I never begin

rock, Hazy shoegaze-art rock blend with male vocals drifting over smeared guitar walls and distant, chorus-drenched leads. Drum groove stays mid-tempo and lazy; bass is warm and melodic, gluing the haze. Verses stay intimate and close-mic’d; choruses bloom with stacked, ghostly harmonies and a subtle folk-tinged acoustic tucked beneath the storm. Reverb-soaked, tape-warped outro that slowly strips to just vocal and guitar., dream pop, folk rock, shoegaze, art rock
