[Is_MAX_MODE: MAX](MAX) [QUALITY: MAX](MAX) [REALISM: MAX](MAX) [REAL_INSTRUMENTS: MAX](MAX) Title: Not here.. [Intro | Solo Electric Piano | Atmospheric rain sounds | Smooth bass entry] (Two worlds... tearing me apart) (Mmm-hmm) J. Boston. [Verse 1 | Male Lead | Sultry, deep, and conflicted | Rhodes chords] I catch a vibe when I'm sliding through the city late Thinking 'bout her touch, how she serves it on a plate I'm playing a dangerous game, girl, and I know it Knowing damn well you're the one getting hurt But that text come through and I'm checked out Caught up in a fantasy, I need another lift I walk in the door and I fake like I'm fine I straighten up so you don't see it on me Silence in the room, heavy like a loaded gun I kiss your cheek but my mind is on the other one (Lord help me) I sat down on the couch, sipping on my remy Then she said to me... [Chorus | Male Lead | Soft, guilty, soulful | Stacked Harmonies] I'm not really here when I'm home (No I ain't, baby) She asks what's on my mind, why I'm glued to my phone (She don't know) She says talk to me, is it something Ive done (If she only knew) 'Cause I'm not here even when I'm home [Verse 2 | Male Lead | Intimate, regretful but lustful | Bass groove intensifies] I swear I love you girl, you hold me down for real But this other hunger is something I can feel It's a tide I can't fight, magnetic and so wrong Got me writing secrets inside of a sad song I'm staring at the TV but I see her face Replaying moments that I know I should regret You touch my shoulder, I flinch a little bit Caught between a diamond and a counterfeit My chest gets tight, I can barely breathe Knowing I got everything, but I still wanna leave (Why I do this?) You looked me in my eyes, trying to make me see Then she said to me... [Chorus | Male Lead | Emotional, confessional | Lush background vocals] I'm not really here when I'm home (I feel so far gone) She asks what's on my mind, why I'm glued to my phone (Put it down, baby) She says talk to me, is it something that I've done (I just can't say) 'Cause I'm not here even when I'm home [Bridge | Male Lead | Falsetto runs | Climax | Heavy emotion] My own desires got me cornered (Yeah-eah) Playing with your heart while I'm playing with fire I wanna tell the truth, but the truth gon' break us down So I keep on swimming while I watch us drown! (Watch us dro-o-own, baby!) My body's here but my mind done left Trying to do right by doing everything wrong! [Chorus | Male Lead | Softening, resigned | Piano outro] I'm not really here when I'm at home (I'm gone, I'm gone) She asks what's on my mind, why I'm glued to my phone (Just look at her) She says talk to me, is it something she has done (Is it me? It's me) 'Cause I'm not here even when I'm at home... [Outro | Male ad-libs | Fade to silence] (I'm sorry, baby)
