V5.5

[E major]
[Mood: Melancholic, reflective]
[Energy: Low to medium, steady]

[Intro | clean electric guitar arpeggios | wide stereo | brushed snare soft roll]
(soft ride cymbal)

[Verse 1 | breathy male vocal | clean walking bass]
He showed you the rooftop with the skyline view
Said “stick with me, kid, I’ll carry you through”
His world is a handshake, a card that stays gold
Your name on a list that never grows old

[Pre-Chorus | clean guitar chords | slight rasp in voice]
And I don’t blame your hesitation
Silence on the passenger side

[Chorus | high-register layered harmonies | clean open chords]
Two doorways, one flickering light
One keeps you warm, one burns all night
He’s the safe bet, the clean glass of wine
I’m the cracked cup, but the laugh’s always mine

[Post-Chorus | guitar single notes | close-mic snare brush]
(choose)
(choose slow)

[Verse 2 | cool jazz phrasing | ride cymbal bell only]
My friends are a mess and the van’s out of gas
We dance on the curb while the sirens go past
No plans for tomorrow, no debt to pretend
Just the beat of the wheels and the night that won’t end

[Pre-Chorus | same as before]
And I won’t promise you a ladder
Just a window left unlatched

[Chorus | clean guitar arpeggios return]
Two doorways, one flickering light
One keeps you warm, one burns all night
He’s the safe bet, the clean glass of wine
I’m the cracked cup, but the laugh’s always mine

[Bridge | stripped: single clean guitar note + breathy vocal]
You don’t have to hurt me
Just say his name
But when the champagne goes flat at 3 AM
You’ll remember the kid with no shame
(dry jazz drum hit)

[Guitar Solo | clean electric | melodic, jazzy, no distortion | late-night feel]

[Final Chorus | harmonies wider | energy lift only from vocals]
Two doorways, one flickering light (flickering light)
One keeps you warm, one burns all night
He’s the gold watch, the coat and the tie
I’m the chipped tooth, but I’ll laugh till I cry

[Outro | fade on clean guitar arpeggio | whispered]
(go on)
(go on)
[Brushed snare...............]
