[Intro: 118 BPM, major minor blend, plucky guitar and dry drum machine, clean texture, low conversational vocal] Kitchen light still on again I forgot to turn it off Or maybe I just left it there So something stayed awake [Verse: 118 BPM, major minor blend, bass groove and clipped drums, tight texture, close vocal tone] I rinse the same glass twice Line it up beside the sink Check my phone for nothing new Then lock it while it blinks The fridge hum fills the gaps Between the things I skip I keep my hands inside a task So nothing starts to slip [Chorus: 122 BPM, subtle major lift, layered guitar and light synth, open texture, steady vocal] I keep moving just enough So it does not catch my name If I stop I feel it turn Like a shadow in the frame So I leave the light on bright Let it flatten out the room If everything is clearly seen Nothing extra can assume [Verse: 120 BPM, minor lean, muted keys and bass, restrained texture, reflective vocal] Shoes still by the door untouched Keys exactly where they land I trace patterns in the dark Like I planned this with my hands Every surface holds me still Every object pulls me through If I stay inside the lines There is nothing left to do [Bridge: 114 BPM, stripped instrumentation, soft guitar harmonics, exposed texture, fragile vocal] But the quiet bends a little When I finally sit down And the room is not as solid When there is no moving sound [Chorus: 122 BPM, major lift, fuller arrangement, bright texture, open vocal] I keep moving just enough But it almost says my name In the corner of the room In the pause between the frames So I let the light stay on Even when I close my eyes Just in case it tries to form I can wash it back to white [Outro: 110 BPM, major fade, soft guitar and dim synth, dissolving texture, calm vocal] Kitchen light still on again Morning leaking through the blind I did not turn it off last night But I think I turned a line
