Midnight Static 🎵 **SONGWRITING CHALLENGE** 🎵

#🎵 **SONGWRITING CHALLENGE** 🎵# [INTRO — filtered, intimate] Two fifteen… your name lights up, then disappears. I pour one more, for absolutely no reason. [VERSE 1 — close vocal] You said, “don’t make it complicated,” then kissed me like you changed your mind. Now I’m dancing with the kitchen light, pretending I’m having a wonderful time. Your jacket’s still behind my chair, I should probably give it back. But it looks expensive on my floor, so maybe… we leave it at that. [PRE-HOOK — bass opens] I don’t miss you— [RESPONSE] Liar. I’m doing fine— [RESPONSE] Liar. I only checked your page one time— …okay, five. [CHORUS — wide, melodic] Come over, come over, don’t make me say it twice. Come closer, come closer, you already know the price. One night, no promises, no “what are we?” tonight. Come over, come over— we can ruin being alright. [INSTRUMENTAL HOOK] Oh-oh—come over… Oh-oh—come closer… Da-da-da, da-da-da… we can ruin being alright. [VERSE 2 — playful, stripped] I deleted our conversation, then recovered it at three. Very mature behaviour, very emotionally free. You left a glass beside the bed, lipprint faded on the side. I washed the whole apartment clean— except that. Don’t ask me why. [CALL + RESPONSE] You awake? [Yeah.] You alone? [Maybe.] Should I come? [Don’t tease me.] Door unlocked? …baby. [BREAKDOWN — almost whispered] No big speech. No grand return. Just your shoes beside mine and the hallway light burning. No forever. No goodbye. Just stay until the bassline dies. [DROP / CHORUS] Come over, come over, don’t make me say it twice. Come closer, come closer, you already know the price. One night, no promises, no “what are we?” tonight. Come over, come over— we can ruin being alright. [HEAVIER INSTRUMENTAL BREAK — vocal fragments] Come— come— closer. Stay— stay— over. Bad idea… good timing. Bad idea… perfect timing. [FINAL HOOK] I don’t miss you— [Liar.] I’m doing fine— [Liar.] Come over. [Right now?] …Yeah. Right now. [OUTRO — filtered away] Two fifteen… your name lights up. This time, I answer.
