Make Me Miss You

(Intro)

(Clean guitar melody kicks in. Handclaps on 2 and 4.)

(Vocal ad-lib: Yeah, it’s fine. It’s... fine.)

(Verse 1)

You’re at the door at 6:01

Right on time, like you’ve always done

You brought the Thai food, extra spice

You’re being sweet, you’re being nice

But I’m staring at the pattern on the rug

While you’re leaning in to give a perfect hug

It’s like a movie I’ve seen twenty times before

I’m memorizing shadows on the floor.

(Pre-Chorus)

(Bass guitar gets fuzzier, drums build)

There’s no friction, there’s no spark

Just a steady glowing ember in the dark

You’re the safety net, the comfortable shoe

But I’m suffocating in the "me and you."

(Chorus)

(Full energy, bright synths)

So go away, stay out late

Cancel on our Friday date

Give me a reason to wonder where you’ve been

Let some silence finally settle in

I’m tired of the "how was your day?"

I need a little distance, a little space

Don’t be so perfect, don’t be so true

Baby, please... make me miss you.

(Verse 2)

(Drums drop out to just a kick drum and guitar)

We haven’t fought in seven months

I kind of wish you’d be a jerk for once

Stop asking me what I want to watch

The indecision’s really turned it up a notch

I’m predictable, you’re a metronome

I feel lonely when we’re both at home.

(Pre-Chorus)

There’s no mystery, there’s no chase

Just the same expression on your face

You’re a sunny day without a drop of rain

And I’m going slightly, sweetly insane.

(Chorus)

So go away, stay out late

Cancel on our Friday date

Give me a reason to wonder where you’ve been

Let some silence finally settle in

I’m tired of the "how was your day?"

I need a little distance, a little space

Don’t be so perfect, don’t be so true

Baby, please... make me miss you.

(Bridge)

(Half-time tempo. Dreamy, washed-out reverb)

Turn off your phone

Leave me alone

I want to crave the sound of your voice

But I can't hear it through all this noise

Of being together, every second, every hour

The wine is sweet but I'm looking for the sour.

(Guitar Solo)

(Short, melodic, and bouncy)

(Chorus)

So go away, stay out late

Cancel on our Friday date

Give me a reason to wonder where you’ve been

Let some silence finally settle in

I’m tired of the "how was your day?"

I need a little distance, a little space

Don’t be so perfect, don’t be so true

Baby, please... make me miss you.

(Outro)

(Music starts to strip back to just the bass and claps)

Make me miss you (Yeah, just for a night)

Make me miss you (Go get in a fight)

Don't call me tomorrow.

(Final guitar pluck)

(Spoken: Seriously, don't call.)
