[Intro — Low synth pulse, muted guitar, close-mic male vocal] I had rules. You had better ideas. [Verse 1 — Smooth, restrained, slightly breathy] I used to leave before the trouble Used to know when to say no Kept my hands where they belonged Kept every feeling under control Then you showed up looking careless Like consequences were a joke Now I’m doing things I swore I wouldn’t Just to see how far this goes [Pre-Hook — Bass deepens, drums begin building] You don’t push You don’t have to You just look at me and wait And somehow every good intention Starts arriving way too late [Hook — Huge dark pop-rock lift] Corrupt me Make me ruin all my good behavior Corrupt me Turn every rule into a favor Teach me how to want too much How to stop pretending I don’t If I’m gonna lose control tonight I’d rather lose it with you Corrupt me Just a little more [Post-Hook — Chopped vocal, distorted echo] Cor-cor-corrupt me Yeah A little more [Verse 2 — More swagger, stronger beat] You steal bites straight off my plate Wear my jacket like it’s yours Talk me into staying out Way past the point I’d leave before You make chaos look attractive Make bad timing feel like fate And every time I think I’m done You smile and make me reconsider everything [Pre-Hook — Vocal sharper, synth tension rising] Maybe I was never innocent Maybe I was just well-trained Maybe you didn’t change me Maybe you just gave me room to misbehave [Hook — Bigger guitars, punchier drums] Corrupt me Make me ruin all my good behavior Corrupt me Turn every rule into a favor Teach me how to want too much How to stop pretending I don’t If I’m gonna lose control tonight I’d rather lose it with you Corrupt me Just a little more [Bridge — Beat drops, intimate almost-spoken delivery] You know what’s funny? I blamed you at first For every late night Every reckless yes Every version of me I didn’t recognize But you never made me do anything You just stopped me From lying about what I wanted [Build — Heartbeat kick, distorted guitar pulse, vocal climbing] So mess my plans up Change my mind Pull me over every line Take the careful Take the clean Show me everything between [Whispered] Go on. [High Note] MAKE A MESS OF MEEEEEE! [Final Hook — Explosive, soaring solo male vocal] CORRUPT ME MAKE ME LOVE THE WAY IT FEELS TO BREAK IT CORRUPT ME IF I WANT THIS, LET ME FINALLY SAY IT I don’t wanna play it safe I don’t wanna leave unchanged If being good means missing this Then good can keep its name Corrupt me Turn the whole thing inside out I came in knowing who I was I like me better now [Outro — Beat strips away, soft amused vocal] I had rules. Still do. They’re just… More flexible now.
