[Intro slow dry two-note guitar motif, deep warm bass, distant cold synth, faint tape hiss] Some nights... I forget. [Short dry guitar response] Some nights... I don't. [Instrumental bass repeats alone, sparse mechanical drums slowly enter] [Verse 1 very low intimate female contralto, restrained, smoky] I changed the room I changed the bed Moved everything You ever left The walls are clean The pictures gone I thought by now I'd have moved on I take the long way Coming home Past streets We used to know At every light I turn my head Like you might Be there again [Short repetitive dry guitar melody] [Pre-Chorus restrained, tension slowly rising] It doesn't hurt Like it did before I don't wait Beside the door But something stays Something stays... [Chorus hypnotic, emotional but controlled] Some nights I forget you [Two-note guitar response] Some nights I don't [Two-note guitar response] Some nights you're a stranger [Dry guitar stab] Some nights you're home [Dry guitar stab] I learned how to lose you [Short guitar response] But never completely Some nights I forget you Some nights... You find me [Instrumental deep repetitive bassline, dry guitar motif, cold synth pad] [Verse 2 slightly more rhythmic] Same old rain Different year Different faces Disappear Someone laughs Across the street For half a second I can't breathe There's a window Full of smoke A little place We never knew I watch it rise Above the glass And suddenly I'm back with you [Music drops โ bass and one dry guitar only] Smoke cigarette... [Long pause] [Short repetitive dry guitar melody] Smoke cigarette... [Verse 3 fragile, nearly whispered] I don't remember What you wore The last time You closed the door Some little things Have disappeared And somehow That's what I fear The sound of you Is getting low Like an old tape I used to know I try to hold What's left of it But memory Won't stay still [Pre-Chorus drums slowly return] It doesn't hurt Like it did before I don't see you At every door But something stays Something stays... [Chorus stronger emotion, still restrained] Some nights I forget you [Two-note guitar response] Some nights I don't [Two-note guitar response] Some nights you're a stranger [Dry guitar stab] Some nights you're home [Dry guitar stab] I learned how to lose you [Short guitar response] But never completely Some nights I forget you Some nights... You find me [Instrumental Break long minimal guitar solo, simple emotional melody, bass repeating relentlessly] [Bridge nearly empty arrangement, intimate close vocal] If you could see me now Would you know my face? Would you recognize What time has changed? I kept walking I kept breathing I kept living Like I should [Long pause] But sometimes... I still miss you. [Single dry guitar stab] [Final Chorus tired, fragile, emotionally exposed] Some nights I forget you Some nights I don't Some nights you're a memory Some nights you're close I stopped trying to find you In every passing face But sometimes in the silence You still take your place [Instrumental original guitar motif slowly returns] Smoke cigarette [Short repetitive dry guitar melody] Smoke cigarette [Short repetitive dry guitar melody] Watch it burn [Dry guitar stab] Watch it burn [Dry guitar stab] Think of you [Dry guitar stab] Think of you... [Dry guitar stab] Smoooooookin, cigarette [Dry guitar stab] Still think of you [Long pause] [Outro bass slowly fades, guitar left almost alone]
