Borrowed Heart

[Verse 1]
You’re laughing in his jacket
Sipping on your cheap red wine
Telling me your secrets
Like every broken piece is mine
Your head falls on my shoulder
When the movie turns too slow
You trace circles on my wrist
Then you say
“I should go”
[Chorus]
’Cause you’re somebody’s baby
Not the one I get to hold at night
I walk you to your doorway
Then I disappear from sight
Oh
I love you in the shadows
Where your fingers never stay too long
You’re somebody’s baby
But you’re my favorite song
[Verse 2]
You call me when it’s raining
Say you hate to sleep alone
I listen through the lightning
To the quiet trembling in your tone
You talk about a future
Like it’s something far and bright
I’m the name you never mention
In the story you recite
[Chorus]
’Cause you’re somebody’s baby
Not the one I get to hold at night
I walk you to your doorway
Then I disappear from sight
Oh
I love you in the shadows
Where your fingers never stay too long
You’re somebody’s baby
But you’re my favorite song
[Bridge]
If I met you years ago
Would you wear my sweater home? (yeah)
Would your picture fill my room
Instead of living in my phone?
I keep every almost-touch
Like a pressed flower in a book
You don’t see the way I break
Every time I never look
[Chorus]
’Cause you’re somebody’s baby
Not the one I get to hold at night
So I love you from a distance
Where the wanting feels so right
I’ll stay singing in the silence
Where my name on you would feel all wrong
You’re somebody’s baby
But you’re my favorite song (my favorite song)

Warm acoustic ballad led by nylon-string guitar and soft male vocals; intimate fingerpicking in the verses, gentle strummed lift in the chorus. Subtle brushed snare and upright bass ease in by the second chorus. Melody leans on open, singable phrases with close-harmony doubles on the hook for wistful glow. Quiet bridge drop to almost solo guitar, then a final chorus that blooms with light backing oohs and a tender rubato outro., classic
