[INTRO: Soft electric piano, room tone, vinyl hiss, distant notification. No drums.]
[VERSE 1: Conversational MALE.]
[MAIN VOICE]
I was gonna call you yesterday.
Then yesterday got away.
I saw your name,
Thought about it,
Put the phone down,
Made some food.
Then I remembered
Why I picked the phone up.
[BACKGROUND VOICE: Spoken MALE, dry, clear, NOT sung.]
You forgot again.
[MAIN VOICE]
I know.
[BEAT ENTERS: Electronic drums, warm bass, light guitar.]
I keep meaning to get better
At keeping track of things.
Funny how remembering
That I forgot
Still counts as remembering.
[PRE-CHORUS: Synths and guitar rise.]
Maybe I'm not lazy.
Maybe I'm just
Really good at starting.
[CHORUS: Catchy MALE vocal. Big drums, crunchy guitars, wide synths.]
I was gonna,
I was gonna...
I swear I had a reason.
I was gonna,
I was gonna...
Then I lost it for no reason.
Maybe tomorrow,
Maybe next week...
Maybe I'll finally finish
What I started yesterday.
[VERSE 2: Rhythmic MALE half-rap. Playful, confident.]
I got a note in my pocket
That says "don't forget."
Don't know what it's about,
But I haven't forgotten it yet.
There's a box on the table
I've been meaning to move.
I make a plan,
Then I make another,
Then I forget which plan
Was supposed to cover the other.
Now I'm in the kitchen
Trying to remember
Why I walked in here.
[BACKGROUND VOICE]
You hungry?
[MAIN VOICE]
Probably.
[PRE-CHORUS]
Funny how the things I lose
Are usually already in my hand.
[CHORUS]
I was gonna,
I was gonna...
I swear I had a reason.
Then I lost it for no reason.
Maybe tomorrow,
Maybe next week...
Maybe I'll finally finish
What I started yesterday.
[INSTRUMENTAL: 45–60 seconds. NO VOCALS. Warm bass, crunchy guitar riff, glitch percussion, piano motif, strange electronic sounds, melodic synth. Let it breathe.]
[BRIDGE: Piano and soft guitar only.]
[MAIN VOICE: Quiet MALE.]
I think I spend so much time
Trying to remember who I'm supposed to be...
I forget to be anybody.
[BACKGROUND VOICE: Spoken MALE.]
That's pretty deep.
[MAIN VOICE]
I didn't mean it like that.
[BACKGROUND VOICE]
Sure.
[FINAL BUILD: Kick returns. Bass rises. Guitars and synths widen. Layered MALE vocals.]
[FINAL CHORUS: Biggest section. Full drums, guitars, huge synths.]
I was gonna,
I was gonna...
I swear I had a reason.
I was gonna,
I was gonna...
Then I lost it for no reason.
Maybe tomorrow,
Maybe next week...
Maybe I'll finally finish
What I started yesterday.
[BACKGROUND VOICE]
You gonna finish this one?
[MAIN VOICE]
...Probably not.
[OUTRO: Piano, guitar and synth fade.]
I'll do it tomorrow.
[BACKGROUND VOICE]
Sure.
[Silence.]
