(Style: folk, Art-pop / dream-pop ballad with male vocals; slow burn intro over warm bass swells and distant folk guitar plucks, close-micmed lead sitting on the edge of a whisper. Tension builds with airy pads, subtle strings and soft tom pulses; chorus blooms into cinematic drums, stacked background vocals and hazy reverb. Second half adds low brass and shimmering synth arps, then a dramatic drop to almost a cappella before the final, intimate refrain., ballad, art pop, dream pop)
Verse 1
Everybody’s got somebody
Pictures glowing on their phone
Late-night drives and little inside jokes
I got nowhere to go
I keep thinking it’ll happen
Every time somebody smiles
But they always leave me wondering
What they’re doing after I say goodbye
Pre-Chorus
Maybe next week
Maybe next year
Ooh-ooh, that’s what I’ve been saying for years
Chorus
I got a love song I never get to sing
Ooh-ooh, a heart full of words and nobody to bring
Everybody’s falling, everybody but me
I, it’s getting hard to believe
Got a spot on my shoulder for somebody’s head
Ooh-ooh, a million “I miss you”s I’ve never said
Everybody’s falling, everybody but me
Maybe love don’t happen for me
Verse 2
Everybody makes it look easy
Like they don’t even have to try
One look across a crowded room
And suddenly it’s right
I keep waiting for the movie
For the moment people talk about
But the credits keep on rolling
And I’m still walking out
Pre-Chorus
Maybe tomorrow
Maybe tonight
Ooh-ooh, maybe I’m just not the right type
Chorus
I got a love song I never get to sing
Ooh-ooh, a heart full of words and nobody to bring
Everybody’s falling, everybody but me
I, it’s getting hard to believe
Got a spot on my shoulder for somebody’s head
Ooh-ooh, a million “I miss you”s I’ve never said
Everybody’s falling, everybody but me
Maybe love don’t happen for me
Bridge
Ooh-ooh-ooh
What if I’m the last one waiting?
Ooh-ooh-ooh
What if everybody made it?
I don’t wanna be dramatic
But some nights I hate this feeling
Want somebody calling my name
Like they’ve always really meant it
Final Chorus
I got a love song I never get to sing
Ooh-ooh, a heart full of words and nobody to bring
Everybody’s falling, everybody but me
I it’s getting hard to believe
Got a spot on my shoulder for somebody’s head
Ooh-ooh, a whole life of memories I haven’t lived yet
Everybody’s falling, everybody but me
Maybe love don’t happen for me
Outro
Ooh-ooh, everybody but me
I, everybody but me
Ooh-ooh, maybe love don’t happen for me
Maybe love don’t happen for me
