The Potential

Verse 1)

N Cinematic Deep House hit. Soulful male vocals meet deep bass, melancholic cello, and elegant piano. Melodic yet moody. eon lines and the city glow

I saw a ghost of someone I used to know

In that first frame, in the digital light

I saw the version of you that burns so bright

The one you hide, the one you keep

Somewhere golden, somewhere deep

I felt the soul beneath the skin

The beauty of what could have been.

(Pre-Chorus)

But the hours turned to heavy days

The gold began to turn to grey

You showed me shadows, you showed me fear

Until the vision started to disappear.

(Chorus)

I’m in love with the ghost of who you are

The one I saw when we were just a spark

Now I’m drowning in the person that you choose to be

The distance in between is killing me

High hopes, low light

Losing the frequency tonight

I’m in love with the ghost of who you are

But you’re drifting away, drifting too far.

(Drop)

(Deep, melodic bass pulse)

(Vocal chop: "Who you are... Who you could be...")

(Driving percussion)

(Verse 2)

Now we’re standing on the edge of the floor

I don’t recognize your face anymore

In the friction, in the heat of the fight

The person I met has walked out of sight

You’re trapped in the moments that pull you down

While the queen I saw has lost her crown

It’s a long way down from that first high

Watching a miracle slowly die.

(Pre-Chorus)

But the hours turned to heavy days

The gold began to turn to grey

You showed me shadows, you showed me fear

Until the vision started to disappear.

(Chorus)

I’m in love with the ghost of who you are

The one I saw when we were just a spark

Now I’m drowning in the person that you choose to be

The distance in between is killing me

High hopes, low light

Losing the frequency tonight

I’m in love with the ghost of who you are

But you’re drifting away, drifting too far.

(Bridge)

(Atmospheric pads and stripped back beat)

It wasn’t a lie, it was a glimpse

A flash of light before the eclipse

I know she’s in there, I know she’s real

But I can’t live on a ghost’s appeal.

(Outro)

Drifting too far...

I saw who you could be...

But the moments won’t let you go.

Just a spark.

Just a ghost.

(Fade out with deep bass pulse)
