Runaway Reverie

[Verse 1]
Alarm goes off
But I stay in the dream
Same four walls
Same cracked ceiling
Coffee on the counter
Keys by the door
Shoes on my feet
Heart on the floor
[Pre-Chorus]
Every mirror asks
"is this really you?"
I keep answering
"I’m almost through"
[Chorus]
I’m a runaway reverie
Breaking out of this routine
Turn the doubt down
Turn the volume up on me (on me)
I’m a runaway reverie
Scribbling my destiny
If the road burns
I’ll barefoot dance through the heat
I’m a runaway
I’m a runaway reverie
[Verse 2]
Dress code emails
In my blinking inbox
Fake laugh echo
Down the office halls
But my daydream’s loud
Like a crowd in my chest
Front row ticket
To the life I haven’t met
[Pre-Chorus]
Every calendar
Tries to cage the year
But I’m circling
Today in red right here
[Chorus]
I’m a runaway reverie
Breaking out of this routine
Turn the doubt down
Turn the volume up on me (hey)
I’m a runaway reverie
Scribbling my destiny
If the road burns
I’ll barefoot dance through the heat
I’m a runaway
I’m a runaway reverie
[Bridge]
I don’t need a map
Just a first step
One small suitcase
Of the truth I’ve kept
If I lose my way
I’ll still be found
‘Cause I’m finally
Finally leaving the ground
[Chorus]
I’m a runaway reverie
Breaking out of this routine
Turn the doubt down
Turn the volume up on me (on me, on me)
I’m a runaway reverie
Scribbling my destiny
If the road burns
I’ll barefoot dance through the heat
I’m a runaway
I’m a runaway reverie

rock, Punchy pop rock with bright overdriven guitars, tight live drums, and female vocals riding the front of the mix. Verses stay moody and palm-muted; pre-chorus lifts with toms and airy backing oohs; chorus explodes with wide power chords, stacked harmonies, and a soaring, shout-along hook. Brief bridge strips to bass and vocal before a final full-band climax., pop rock
