```text **Still Here** [Intro: muted bass pulse, soft rim clicks, two felt-piano notes] [Verse 1: very close, delicate melodic vocal] I rinse one cup. Then rinse it twice. Your key still sticks. I turn it right. The pipes knock once. I leave the light. [Chorus: quiet, gently sustain “here” and “clear”] Still here. Still here. My voice comes thin. The words come clear. Still here. Can you hear? [Verse 2] I start your note. Cross out one line. The pen leaves blue along my thumb. Your name stays. I sign mine. [Chorus] Still here. Still here. My voice comes thin. The words come clear. Still here. Can you hear? [Instrumental: 8 bars, muted bass and brushed guitar harmonics, soft beat continues] [Bridge: fragile voice, steady shaker and bass] I call. You wait. I breathe. You wait. Then— “Come by.” [Final Chorus: NO piano, only voice, muted bass, rim clicks and shaker] Still here. Still here. My voice comes thin. The words come clear. Still here. Can you hear? [Outro: soft held note, pulse continues] You say, “I’m here.” [Brief instrumental tail, gentle ending] ```
