Hoodie & Cologne

[Verse 1]
Your hoodie on my chair
Still smells like your cologne
I wear it in the kitchen
Just to feel less alone
You’re three states on the map
But a galaxy tonight
You say you’re coming back
But you hang up before goodbye
[Chorus]
I wish I could see you
But my heart’s in the way
Every word turns to thunder
Every call goes astray
You’re there in that city
I’m stuck in my head at home
Caught between wanting you near
And being scared I’ll lose control
I’m miles from your body
But inches from letting you go
Hugging your hoodie
Breathing your cologne
[Verse 2]
I scroll through all our photos
You laugh
You look so sure
Meanwhile I’m rehearsing
Every fight we had before
I know that you are trying
I know that I am too
So why do all my feelings
Build a wall between us two
[Chorus]
I wish I could see you
But my heart’s in the way
Every word turns to thunder
Every call goes astray
You’re there in that city
I’m stuck in my head at home
Caught between wanting you near
And being scared I’ll lose control
I’m miles from your body
But inches from letting you go
Hugging your hoodie
Breathing your cologne
[Bridge]
If I got in the car
Drove all night through the dark
Would you open your arms
Or guard your heart
I’m afraid of the answer
Afraid of the unknown
So I stay on this couch
Clutching your clothes
[Chorus]
I wish I could see you
But my heart’s in the way
Every word turns to thunder
Every call goes astray
You’re there in that city
I’m stuck in my head at home
Caught between wanting you near
And being scared I’ll lose control
I’m miles from your body
But inches from letting you go
Hugging your hoodie
Breathing your cologne

pop, Moody minimalist pop ballad with female vocals; close-mic intimacy over soft pads and muted electronic percussion. First verse almost spoken over sparse piano, then a wider, aching chorus with airy harmonies and a warm sub-bass swell. Light reversed reverb tails on key phrases, final chorus drops into a stripped, whispered outro hook., sad
