Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] [Male] You hang up I stare at the screen again Same fight Same four walls But you still feel under my skin [Female] You say “I’m done” But you don’t believe that line Your suitcase stays in the closet You’re still tangled up in mine [Pre-Chorus] [Male] Every mile Every hour I still taste your name on my tongue (mmm) [Female] Every tear Every silence Pulls me back to where we begun (yeah) [Chorus] [Both] We’re only getting closer in the dark Even when we’re falling apart (falling apart) You bruise me You soothe me You’re my spark Every scar spells out your heart Say you hate me Say you’re leaving But you’re the air that I keep breathing We’re only getting closer in the dark You’re the center of my heart [Verse 2] [Female] You’re late again I’m pacing the kitchen floor My voice says “I can’t do this” My body’s pulling you through the door [Male] Your friends all say I’m trouble you shouldn’t chase But they don’t know that quiet When I’m crying into your waist [Pre-Chorus] [Female] All the storms All the shouting Still your name is my favorite sound (oh-oh) [Male] All the nights that we break it We’re the ones that still turn it around (turn it around) [Chorus] [Both] We’re only getting closer in the dark Even when we’re falling apart (falling apart) You bruise me You soothe me You’re my spark Every scar spells out your heart Say you hate me Say you’re leaving But you’re the air that I keep breathing We’re only getting closer in the dark You’re the center of my heart [Bridge] [Male] Tell me Are you shaking too When my name lights up your phone? (yeah) [Female] Boy You know I tremble Like you’re right here by my bones (mmm) [Male] I don’t want perfect I want you Mess and magic All of you (all of you) [Female] If the distance is a fire Baby Let it burn us through [Both] I choose you Every version Every mood Every wound [Chorus] [Both] We’re only getting closer in the dark Even when we’re falling apart (oh-oh, falling apart) You bruise me You soothe me You’re my spark Every scar spells out your heart (your heart) Say you hate me Say you’re leaving But you’re the air that I keep breathing (keep breathing) We’re only getting closer in the dark You’re the center of my heart [Outro] [Female] You’re my center (my center) [Male] You’re my home when I’m off track (yeah) [Both] So if I lose the words tonight Just know I’m always coming back (always coming back)

Smoky, slow-burn R&B ballad at 68 BPM with intertwined male and female vocals trading lines and ad-libs. Minimal, warm Rhodes and soft pads under a deep, lazy kick and brushed snare; bass glides in legato phrases. Choruses bloom with stacked harmonies and call-and-response riffs, last hook stretches into gospel-tinged runs and melismas. Spacey reverb on counter-melodies, intimate, close-mic lead for a bedroom, late-night feel., sensual, slow
