V6

[Intro: shimmering synth, funky bass] [Verse 1: playful melodic rhythm] I've got a favorite jacket worn just right It fits me like the morning fits the light But hanging in the closet, out of view Are clothes for lives I never followed through [Pre-Chorus: melodic ascending thirds] A different fabric, different skin A thousand people I could've been [Chorus: bright soaring harmonies] I'm dressed for the life I chose But dreaming in somebody else's clothes A perfect fit, a lovely day Still wishing I could dress another way [Syncopated 808, falsetto lift] I'm happy with the man I see So why keep trying on another me? [Break: elastic bass, funky cowbell] [Bridge: soft stacked vocals] Some outfits only live in dreams They fit much better than they seem And maybe if I wore them out I'd miss the clothes I wear right now [Final Hook: warm melodic resolution] A thousand selves behind the door I love this one and still want more [Outro: gentle piano] Tomorrow I'll wear what I love And wonder again.
