Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Woke up with a tune on my tongue Half a line Then it slipped Then it spun Coffee getting cold by the sink While I hum what I’m scared to think [Pre-Chorus] I’ve been humming in the background Fading in the crowd Talking like I’m quiet When my heart is loud If the clock keeps counting What am I gonna do? If I leave this planet Before I leave what’s true? [Chorus] Don’t die with the music still in you Don’t leave all your colors in black and blue Sing it out shaky Sing it off key Let the world hear what you can’t keep Don’t die with the music still in you Every little heartbeat’s a debut Let it break Let it bend Let it free I won’t go with the music still in me (oh-oh) [Verse 2] Old fear in a brand-new coat Same weight sitting deep in my throat But my name on the edge of the page Is burning like a fuse to the stage [Pre-Chorus] All the almost stories All the near-miss dreams Living in the margins Bursting at the seams If I keep on waiting I know how this ends Silence at the curtain Nothing to defend [Chorus] Don’t die with the music still in you Don’t leave all your colors in black and blue Sing it out shaky Sing it off key Let the world hear what you can’t keep Don’t die with the music still in you Every little heartbeat’s a debut Let it break Let it bend Let it free I won’t go with the music still in me (yeah-yeah) [Bridge] Hands up Heart wide I’m done staying small (hey!) If I fall on the high note I still gave it all Every scar in rhythm Every tear on time I’m alive I’m alive This is my line [Chorus] Don’t die with the music still in you Don’t leave all your colors in black and blue Sing it out shaky Sing it off key Let the world hear what you can’t keep Don’t die with the music still in you Every little heartbeat’s a debut Let it break Let it bend Let it free I won’t go with the music still in me I won’t go with the music still in me (oh-oh) I won’t go with the music still in me
Tags
pop, Shimmering 80s-inspired pop, mid-tempo and hopeful. Bright synth arps, clean electric guitar chimes, and a steady four-on-the-floor kick. Male vocals sit upfront; verses start intimate over bass and pads, then pre-chorus adds claps and rising tom fills. Chorus blooms with stacked harmonies, airy “oh-oh” backing lines, and a key-change final refrain for a triumphant lift.
