Last Breath

[Verse 1]
Clock on the wall sounds loud tonight
Half-finished text
Unsent
Unread
All of the words I saved for "someday"
Sit like ghosts at the edge of the bed
[Chorus]
You can’t take back your last breath
So make it count
Say the thing you’re scared to say
Before the lights burn out
Every heartbeat on your chest
That’s a borrowed crown
You can’t take back your last breath
So make it
Make it count (hey)
[Verse 2]
Coffee gone cold on the kitchen counter
Plans on a page that you never showed
You keep your dream in a locked-up browser
Open tab that you never load
[Chorus]
You can’t take back your last breath
So make it count
Call the one you pushed away
Before the line cuts out
Every promise you confessed
Or you turned around
You can’t take back your last breath
So make it
Make it count
[Bridge]
One day the questions stop
And there is only your answer
Not later
Not next year
Only this small
Bright sliver
[Chorus]
You can’t take back your last breath
So make it count
Run into the pouring rain
Let the doubt drown out
Every second you’ve got left
Write it down in shouts
You can’t take back your last breath
So make it
Make it count
You can’t take back your last breath
So make it
Make it count

Moody alt-pop with intimate male vocals over pulsing bass and sparse drums. Verses stay close and conversational with soft pads and reversed guitar textures; chorus widens with stacked harmonies, airy synth leads, and a heavier groove. Bridge strips back to vocal and a single droning note, then everything slams back in for a final, anthemic hook.
