[INTRO — 8 BARS] [Deep funky bass enters alone. Rhodes chords slowly appear. Tight kick and muted guitar join. Short synth accents answer the bass.] Everybody's moving But nobody knows where Running through the city Like we're already there [VERSE 1 — 12 BARS] [Groove fully settles. Syncopated bass, crisp drums, Rhodes and subtle guitar scratches. Vocal relaxed and rhythmic.] I wake up to the same old sound Everybody chasing something down Screens light up before the sun Another day, another one I see the faces passing by Everybody's living on rewind Trying to find a way ahead While going nowhere instead [PRE-CHORUS — 8 BARS] [Drums pull back slightly. Rhodes becomes wider. Bass climbs with a melodic fill.] Maybe I should slow it down Maybe I should leave this town Maybe all I ever need Is a little room to breathe [CHORUS — 8 BARS] [Full modern funk groove. Bass becomes highly melodic. Layered vocals and short brass hits emphasize the hook.] We're running in circles Round and round again Looking for tomorrow While we're losing where we've been We're running in circles But I don't wanna stay If the world keeps spinning I'll find another way [INSTRUMENTAL GROOVE — 8 BARS] [Extended bass groove. Rhodes plays jazzy fills. Tight drum break. Muted guitar chops between bass phrases. Short synth lead answers the Rhodes.] [VERSE 2 — 12 BARS] [Return to vocal groove. Add subtle electronic percussion and deeper sub-bass.] Everybody wants a faster life But nobody asks if it's right We're counting every second now Like time is something we can buy I used to chase the flashing lights Now I just wanna feel alive If everything is moving fast I'll be the one who doesn't run [BRIDGE — 8 BARS] [Half-time feel. Rhodes and warm synth pads dominate. Bass becomes sparse. Intimate vocal with layered harmonies.] Stop Take a breath Look around We're still here We're still alive We don't have to lose our minds [BUILD — 4 BARS] [Drums gradually return. Bass filter opens. Vocal chops and rising synth lead build into the final groove.] Round and round Round and round I won't disappear [FINAL CHORUS — 8 BARS] [Fullest arrangement. Powerful bass, crisp drums, Rhodes, guitar, synth accents and layered soul vocals.] We're running in circles Round and round again Looking for tomorrow While we're losing where we've been We're running in circles But I don't wanna stay If the world keeps spinning I'll find another way [OUTRO GROOVE — 8 BARS] [No lead vocal. Bass and Rhodes carry the final melody. Drums remain tight while guitar and synth accents fade naturally.] Round and round... But I'm finding my way.
