[Intro] [Warm Yamaha DX7 electric piano bell tones, lush analog synth pad swell] [Soft gated snare tap, expressive fretless bass slide] [Verse 1] I was walking through the city after midnight Watching streetlights flicker in the hazy rain Used to think that love was just a distant vision Something meant for someone else's heart to claim Then you walked into the room without a warning And the room began to turn a different shade [Pre-Chorus] [Gated drums kick in, building rhythm, soft backing vocal harmonies] Now every breath I take is getting heavy Every rhythm in my chest is out of time I don't need a guarantee of forever Just as long as you are somewhere on the line [Chorus] [Full 1980s power ballad arrangement, booming gated reverb snare, soaring lead vocals] In the vicinity of your heart! That’s where I want to make my start Close enough to feel the heat you rise Looking at the world through your bright eyes Even if I'm standing in the shadows or the dark I just want to be... in the vicinity of your heart! [Verse 2] [Steady slow-dance ballad groove, shimmering synth chimes] There's a magnetic pull I can't break over Every step I take is leading back to you People talk about a moment when you just know Now I finally understand what they go through [Pre-Chorus] [Gated drums building, soaring vocal harmony swell] 'Cause every breath I take is getting heavy Every rhythm in my chest is out of time I don't need a guarantee of forever Just as long as you are somewhere on the line [Chorus] [Full emotional power, big brassy synth swells, soaring backing harmonies] In the vicinity of your heart! That’s where I want to make my start Close enough to feel the heat you rise Looking at the world through your bright eyes Even if I'm standing in the shadows or the dark I just want to be... in the vicinity of your heart! [Bridge] [Stripped-back section, deep fretless bass, rich synth pads, dramatic vocal delivery] Distance used to be a safe place to hide Now there ain't no room for my foolish pride Throw the map away, let the compass fall If I can’t have you, I don't want nothing at all! [Guitar Solo] [Screaming 1980s melodic electric guitar solo, dramatic pitch bends, full gated drum fills, soaring high notes] [Chorus] [Maximum dynamic height, key change swell, layered backing vocal harmonies] In the vicinity of your heart! That’s where I want to make my start Close enough to feel the heat you rise Looking at the world through your bright eyes Even if I'm standing in the shadows or the dark I just want to be... in the vicinity of your heart! [Outro] [Guitar solo fades over emotional vocal ad-libs, heavy gated drum beats slow down] Yeah, in the vicinity... So close to you... Right where I belong... [DX7 piano chord decay, fading synth pad] [End]
