Valentine At The End Of The Night

Warm acoustic pop ballad with gentle male vocals, soft fingerpicked guitar and brushed snare, subtle upright bass, Verses stay intimate and conversational, almost whispered; chorus blooms with light piano chords, airy pads, and a small stack of harmonies, Bridge pulls instruments back to just guitar and voice, then returns with a tender lift, ending on a quiet, held final note, gentle, romantic, noise, male vocals

[Verse 1] Breakfast rush Cereal on the floor Shoes untied Someone slams the door Six voices climbing on our names Everyone needs us right away Dog barking at the passing leaves Phone buzzing in your back pocket sleeve You catch my eye for half a second Then someone cries and that moment's gone [Chorus] We ain't perfect But we're here At the end of the night You're still near All this noise All this wild Messy life Makes the quiet in your arms feel right When the whole house finally falls asleep And it's just your heartbeat under my cheek We ain't perfect But we're together At the end of the night [Verse 2] Homework spread across the table Bath time songs Best that we are able You mouth “I’m tired” over their heads I laugh and pour the milk instead Dog spinning circles by the door You step on toys on the kitchen floor We steal a kiss behind a fridge door swing Interrupted by “hey I need something” (hey!) [Chorus] We ain't perfect But we're here At the end of the night You're still near All this noise All this wild Messy life Makes the quiet in your arms feel right When the whole house finally falls asleep And it's just your heartbeat under my cheek We ain't perfect But we're together At the end of the night [Bridge] Turn off the last lamp Lock up and exhale Dog curls by the bed World finally fades In the hush after everything I can hear my own heart sing Every flaw Every fray Every fight just proves How much I love you [Chorus] We ain't perfect But we're here At the end of the night You're still near All this noise All this wild Messy life Makes the quiet in your arms feel right When the whole house finally falls asleep And it's just your heartbeat under my cheek We ain't perfect But we're together At the end of the night I love you And we're together At the end of the night
