Echoing Laughter

[Verse 1]
The rain is Jhea
On my windowpane
I watch it run
Like it knows my name
I feel beautiful
In this skin tonight
Gold on my shoulders
Soft and open wide
Your old joke comes back
Through the dark hall air
Echoing laughter
Everywhere
[Pre-Chorus]
Say my name again
Let it pull me in
I was far away
Now I’m close again
Hold that feeling here
Don’t let it escape
When you laugh like that
I forget my weight
[Chorus]
The rain is Jhea
The rain is Jhea
I feel beautiful
When you stay so near
Echoing laughter
Echoing laughter
It pulls me back
It pulls me back here
Getting back together
Getting back together
Say it one more time
And I’m already there
[Verse 2]
Your hoodie on the chair
My hair still wet
The floorboards know
Every little step
We were a mess
But we’re not gone
You look at me
And the hurt moves on
The corner of your mouth
That says "come closer"
I lean right in
Like I’m made for this motion
[Pre-Chorus]
Say my name again
Let it pull me in
I was far away
Now I’m close again
Hold that feeling here
Don’t let it escape
When you laugh like that
I forget my weight
[Chorus]
The rain is Jhea
The rain is Jhea
I feel beautiful
When you stay so near
Echoing laughter
Echoing laughter
It pulls me back
It pulls me back here
Getting back together
Getting back together
Say it one more time
And I’m already there
[Bridge]
If we broke, we broke
But we’re breathing now
Little by little
We’re learning how
Your laugh in the rain
Cuts through the gray
And all that was cold
Starts fading away
[Final Chorus]
The rain is Jhea
The rain is Jhea
I feel beautiful
When you stay so near
Echoing laughter
Echoing laughter
It pulls me back
It pulls me back here
Getting back together
Getting back together
Say it one more time
And I’m already there

R&B slow-burn with a laid-back swung groove and soft backbeat, verse riding sparse keys and muted bass, pre-chorus opening with stacked harmonies and a rising pad, chorus landing on plush chord swells and finger snaps; close-mic lead with airy doubles, ad-lib echoes on hook words, and a few whispered call-backs. Ear candy includes reversed piano swells into the chorus, a tape-stop flick on the bridge turn, and delicate bell tones between phrases. Mix is intimate, glossy, and warm, r&b, beautiful
