Prompt / Lyrics
(Intro)
[Sound of rain. A lonely electric guitar riff.]
(Spoken, soft & close to the mic:)
Where did it go wrong?
I keep replaying it in my head...
Over and over.
(Verse 1)
[Beat kicks in - Slow, heavy kick drum. Very chill.]
I am just craving your touch
A caress on my cheek... (Oh, it haunts me)
Sends shivers down my back.
And I'm still thinking of that night... [Vocal Run: Ni-i-i-ght...]
Just between us.
When time seemed to stop
And still, something seemed to happen.
A SPLIT IN TIME
When tears escaped my eyes...
And I wept with joy. (I wept...)
(Chorus)
[Background harmonies swell up - "Oooooh"]
What happened BETWEEN US?
I feel like I can't escape this.
I'm drawn to you (I'm so drawn to you)
And I keep coming back for more.
But I don't trust me...
And I don't trust you. (No, I don't...)
What's real and what's not?
Between us.
(Verse 2)
[Bass line gets groovy. A little more attitude.]
I look forward to what can be
A future based on my dreams.
Expectations... (Yeah, I had 'em)
It went wrong before
And way too many times after.
Is that selfishness?
Or just a big BLOCKADE...
Between us?
(Bridge)
[Music strips back. Just vocals and snaps. Building intensity.]
But yet I'm still craving your embrace!
When are you coming home?
(Tell me, when are you comin' home?!)
Just between us, I've been missing you.
And the prospect makes my heart skip...
And the vibration of my soul...
[Beat Drop]
Is just too much! (It's just too much!)
(Guitar Solo)
[Bluesy, crying guitar solo. Vocal ad-libs over the top.]
(Ad-lib: What did I miss? What did I miss?)
(Final Chorus)
[Maximum Volume! Soulful Belting!]
What happened BETWEEN US?
I feel like I can't escape this!
I'm drawn to you (I can't stay away!)
And I keep coming back for more.
But I don't trust me...
And I don't trust you. (I wish I could trust you...)
What's real and what's not?
Between us.
(Outro)
[Music fades to the rain sound.]
What did I miss?
(What did I miss?)
Between us.
(Whisper:) Where did it go wrong?
(Song ends.)
