What We Lost

V5.5

[Verse 1 - Whispered, intimate female vocal] [Breathy, close and fragile] We were deep in that movie glow, sinking in that couch real slow [Keep the groove restrained and hypnotic] Your thumb traced circles on my skin Like you were asking something new I gave you my eyes light green And you gave your eyes deep blue [Pre-Chorus - Quiet, suspended] [Close intimate vocal] [Sparse acoustic guitar] Days before, the fireworks burned You held my waist while the music turned And you asked me [Chorus - Hypnotic, tender] [Full motorik groove] [Warm bass, steady drums, acoustic guitar] Is this okay? Is this okay? I was shaking when you said my name I wanted you the same (Oh, I wanted you the same) [Verse 2 - Warm, intimate] [Motorik groove continues quietly] [Female vocal sensual and reflective] [Acoustic guitar and bass remain steady] You leaned in close, I rose to meet My whole world folded at your feet And when your lips touched mine I swear I lost all sense of time [Pre-Chorus - Suspended] [Drums pull back] [Drone becomes more prominent] [Vocal floats above the rhythm] [Slow instrumental build] Days before, the fireworks burned You held my waist while the music turned And you asked me [Chorus - Fuller, hypnotic] [Stronger motorik pulse] [Deep warm bass] [Layered acoustic guitar] [Emotional but restrained vocal] Is this okay? Is this okay? I was shaking when you said my name I wanted you the same (Oh, I wanted you the same) [Bridge - Reflective, bittersweet] [Strip the arrangement back] [Distant drums, harmonium or organ drone] [Haunted intimate female vocal] [Echoing electric guitar fragments] Now I replay that night in frames But it's lost somewhere I should've held on, not let it go I miss the way you said it low [Final Chorus - Expansive, aching] [Full band] Is this okay? Is this okay? That was love in its first brave shape I still feel that way Now I live in what we lost What we lost... [Outro - Psychedelic fade] [Rhythm gradually disappears] [Leave bass drone and tremolo guitar] [Lead vocal becomes distant and breathy] [Long tape echo trails] What we lost... [Instrumental fade] [Acoustic guitar, distant feedback and tape hiss]
