[start] [language: English] [sequence: intro, verse, pre-chorus, chorus, verse, chorus, bridge, final chorus, outro] [Intro | smooth electric guitar | groove-heavy bass] Funny how a quiet morning Can sound so much like you [Verse 1 | silky lead vocal] Coffee's getting colder on the counter again I read the same page about a quarter past ten The cashier asks me if I want my receipt I'm hearing your laugh instead of anything she speaks [Pre-Chorus | vulnerable vocals] Every little errand turns into Another excuse to replay you [Chorus | call-and-response | layering: vocal] Lead: Living rent-free inside my head Backings: Rent-free... rent-free... Lead: Setting up house in the things you said Backings: Every word... every word... Lead: You're hanging pictures on my afternoons Backings: Right on cue Lead: I don't mind making room for you [Verse 2 | silky lead vocal] I catch myself smiling at a red light's glow Practicing stories you'll already know My phone stays quiet, still I'm looking down Half expecting your name to be lighting up the screen somehow [Chorus | call-and-response | layering: four-part vocal] Lead: Living rent-free inside my head Backings: Rent-free... rent-free... Lead: Setting up house in the things you said Backings: Every word... every word... Lead: Turning weekdays into little reruns Backings: One by one Lead: Guess that's what you've quietly done [Bridge | vulnerable vocals | smooth electric guitar] Maybe someday you'll find out You've been walking these halls all along Never asked for the keys— I just left the door unlocked [Final Chorus | call-and-response | layering: four-part vocal | climax] Lead: Living rent-free inside my head Backings: Rent-free... rent-free... Lead: Setting up house in the things you said Backings: Safe and sound... safe and sound... Lead: Every ordinary moment bends your way Backings: Every day Lead: And I hope you never move away [Outro | fade: out | diminuendo: gradual] Living rent-free... In every little thing you said... [end]
