Still Curious

Emo acoustic alternative rock, solo fingerpicked and softly strummed guitar with delicate twinkling upper notes, intimate male vocals in the user's own recorded voice, earnest and confessional with cracking, strained edges; slow unhurried ballad pulse, raw bedroom recording

[Pre-Chorus – restrained]
But sometimes I wonder
What if we just stopped
Being so fucking scared of each other
And tried to go forward somehow

[Chorus – soft but warm]
I’m happy, you know
Well… I’m getting there
My life is good
Well… I’m getting there
And I still want you
Not because I need you
But because it’s you
I still want you

[Verse 2 – soft, hopeful but grounded]
I want to know what we’d be like now
I want to hear about your day
I want to make you laugh again
Kiss you in the kitchen like before
Dance in the hallway for no reason
Find out if we could finally get it right
I don’t need every answer
I don’t need to know where it leads

[Pre-Chorus – quieter]
I just wish you were curious too
Even just a little bit
I just wish you were curious too
The way I’m still curious about you

[Chorus – same soft warmth]
I’m happy, you know
Well… I’m getting there
My life is good
Well… I’m getting there
And I still want you
Not because I need you
But because it’s you
I still want you

[Bridge – soft at first, rising]
I don’t want to go backward
I don’t want to rewrite the past
I just want to see
If there’s anything left that could last
Not out of loneliness
Not out of fear
Just out of knowing
It’s still you I hold dear

[Yelled Section – sudden cracking strained yell]
I STILL WANT YOU
I STILL FUCKING WANT YOU
NOT BECAUSE I’M BROKEN
NOT BECAUSE I’M LOST
I JUST WANT YOU
BECAUSE IT’S YOU

[Chorus – soft again, quieter and more sincere]
I’m happy, you know
Well… I’m getting there
My life is good
Well… I’m getting there
And I still want you
Not because I need you
But because it’s you
I still want you

[Outro – very soft, almost whispered]
I just wish you were curious too
I just wish you were curious too
Even a little

[Verse 1 – soft, quiet, almost spoken] I keep thinking how ridiculous it is That we love each other this much And somehow still ended up here With all this space between us I know what happened I know we hurt each other bad I know we can’t go back To the version of us we had [Pre-Chorus – restrained] But sometimes I wonder What if we just stopped Being so fucking scared of each other And tried to go forward somehow [Chorus – soft but warm] I’m happy, you know Well… I’m getting there My life is good Well… I’m getting there And I still want you Not because I need you But because it’s you I still want you [Verse 2 – soft, hopeful but grounded] I want to know what we’d be like now I want to hear about your day I want to make you laugh again Kiss you in the kitchen like before Dance in the hallway for no reason Find out if we could finally get it right I don’t need every answer I don’t need to know where it leads [Pre-Chorus – quieter] I just wish you were curious too Even just a little bit I just wish you were curious too The way I’m still curious about you [Chorus – same soft warmth] I’m happy, you know Well… I’m getting there My life is good Well… I’m getting there And I still want you Not because I need you But because it’s you I still want you [Bridge – soft at first, rising] I don’t want to go backward I don’t want to rewrite the past I just want to see If there’s anything left that could last Not out of loneliness Not out of fear Just out of knowing It’s still you I hold dear [Yelled Section – sudden cracking strained yell] I STILL WANT YOU I STILL FUCKING WANT YOU NOT BECAUSE I’M BROKEN NOT BECAUSE I’M LOST I JUST WANT YOU BECAUSE IT’S YOU [Chorus – soft again, quieter and more sincere] I’m happy, you know Well… I’m getting there My life is good Well… I’m getting there And I still want you Not because I need you But because it’s you I still want you [Outro – very soft, almost whispered] I just wish you were curious too I just wish you were curious too Even a little
