[Style: Raw indie folk, two acoustic guitars, mid-tempo, warm unpolished room mix, close-mic'd emotional male vocals, 92 BPM] [Tempo: 92 BPM, steady, warm folk pulse] [Intro] [Guitar 1: Close, dry acoustic picking on E, hammer-ons on D string] [Verse 1] [Male vocal, close, quiet, earnest delivery] Until my clothes lay with the trash And my skin and bones have all turned to ash [Dynamic swell / Vocal intensity] FOR YOU, GIRL, I'M GONNA GO TO WAR!! What we’ve got is worth fighting for [Chorus] [Guitar 2 enters: Low, room-reverb strumming joining Guitar 1] I am drowning, drag me to shore! My love for you goes down to the core Don’t you hide, don’t you run... [Full belt] POLLY, YOU’RE THE ONLY ONE!! [Verse 2] [Guitar 2 drops out, back to Guitar 1 dry picking] A storm's upon us and it's threatening our love Trust me, Polly, I’m not the man she spun I didn’t do the things she said... I know, Girl, it’s messing with your head [Bridge] [Guitar 1 only, gentle picking, voice desperate and breaking] If you need to feel like you’ve won I’ll say sorry for things I never done What is broken can be remade... Doesn’t mean the saying wasn’t a trade [Chorus] [Guitar 2 returns with heavy low strums, maximum energy] I am drowning, drag me to shore! What we’ve got, girl, is worth fighting for! Don’t you hide, don’t you run... [Shouted vocal] DRAG ME IN, I’M NOT DONE!! [Outro] [Both guitars, rhythm slowing down, vocal trailing off into space] Until my clothes lay with the trash Say the word, I’ll go to war... I can see, I see the shore... [Soft whisper over fading guitar] Drag me in, girl, don't you go to war... [Outro: Guitar 1 hammer-on pattern slows down to a final warm chord] [End]
