[Verse 1: Fast 2-step swung drums, warm organ chord stabs, tight conversational flow] You buzzed my phone on twenty minutes notice like I had nothing on my plate Told me you were standing under the awning arguing about being late I had my boots off, I was comfortable, settled on the sofa for the night Now I am crossing the suspension bridge waiting on a yellow traffic light (Do not make this a habit) You always call when your backup plan falls through the floor Expecting me to pull up to the curb and leave the passenger door unlocked [Pre-Chorus: Ascending hi-hat roll, skipping rim clicks, building bass pressure] Do not stand out in the rain trying to explain the mess you made Save the speech for the front seat before the battery starts to fade (I am two blocks away) Have your umbrella folded when you see my headlights cut the lane [Chorus: Explosive 2-step drop, heavy sub-bass glide, syncopated vocal punch] Coming through on short notice one more time Told you I would be there and I hit the line Short notice, tires splashing through the street Do not ask for favors if you cannot keep your feet (Pick up your pace) Short notice, pulling to the curb right now Get inside the car before the rain comes down [Verse 2: Swung rhythm, syncopated chest delivery, organ stabs accenting beat] You jumped in the seat shaking water off your sleeve Looking at the dashboard acting like you could not believe I told you straight, do not bring that drama inside my car Whatever happened at that restaurant, leave it right where you are (Leave it on the sidewalk) I am here to get you out of the cold, not listen to the fight Count your blessings that I answered and let us finish up this night [Pre-Chorus: Ascending hi-hat roll, skipping rim clicks, building bass pressure] Do not stand out in the rain trying to explain the mess you made Save the speech for the front seat before the battery starts to fade (I am two blocks away) Have your umbrella folded when you see my headlights cut the lane [Chorus: Explosive 2-step drop, heavy sub-bass glide, syncopated vocal punch] Coming through on short notice one more time Told you I would be there and I hit the line Short notice, tires splashing through the street Do not ask for favors if you cannot keep your feet (Pick up your pace) Short notice, pulling to the curb right now Get inside the car before the rain comes down [Bridge: Half-time 2-step breakdown, filtered low-end, isolated vocal chops] [Percussion breakdown: Swung shakers and snappy rim clicks] (fast spoken, deadpan delivery) Put your seatbelt on. Turn the heater toward your hands. We are not stopping anywhere on the way back. [Drop: Full 134 BPM garage climax, wide organ chords, soaring vocal stack] We are heading straight across the river [Chorus: Climax delivery, ad-lib singalong layers, peak dancefloor energy] Coming through on short notice one more time Told you I would be there and I hit the line Short notice, tires splashing through the street Do not ask for favors if you cannot keep your feet (Move quick) Short notice, pulling to the curb right now Get inside the car before the rain comes down [Outro: Skipping hi-hats, fading sub-bass rumble, door latch sound effect] Short notice One time only Lock the door (car turns corner) [Silence] [End]
