[Verse 1 -Sparse repeating acoustic guitar arpeggio. Very intimate, conversational vocal. Keep the melody restrained and rhythmically interesting.] you're listening to all of my music i'm sitting and tryna pretend that i don't care about what you're thinking of all the messages i can't send you're saying that we're too different but i just want to play any part that might get me a little closer a little spot in your heart [Pre-Chorus - Keep the guitar pattern but make the vocal melody more melodic. Gradually introduce soft harmony underneath the lead.] but never mind you got your eyes on someone but never mind i can't be that someone but could you blame me at night when i'm wishin' to just get to know you to know what you're thinkin'? [Chorus -Catchy, open melodic hook. Acoustic guitar remains the foundation. Add several vocal doubles and stacked harmonies. Make the chorus feel bigger primarily through vocals rather than instrumentation.] i know i can't steal your heart i know i can't make you fall but did you trip even a little bit do i mean anything at all? i know i'm not in your eyes still reachin' out to the sky no fluttering in you now but could i give a little butterfly? [Verse 2 - Return to the intimate guitar pattern. Conversational storytelling with slightly more emotional weight than Verse 1.] you're laughing at all of my jokes now i'm standing here tryna pretend that i'm not making it all up now that we could only be friends you say that we won't work out but why couldn't we try? to get a bit closer and fill that gap between our hands and your mind [Pre-Chorus - Repeat the melodic lift with additional harmony.] but never mind you got your eyes on someone but never mind i can't be that someone but could you blame me at night when i'm wishin' to just get to know you to know what you're thinkin'? [Chorus - Fuller vocal arrangement than the first chorus. More stacked harmonies, doubles and overlapping backing vocals.] i know i can't steal your heart i know i can't make you fall but did you trip even a little bit do i mean anything at all? i know i'm not in your eyes still reachin' out to the sky no fluttering in you now but could i give a little butterfly? [Outro - Short, memorable vocal refrain. Strip the arrangement back while allowing the harmonies to linger. Harmonies, multiple vocal layers, choir backing.] i wish i had that luck to give you butterflies i wish i was someone that gave you butterflies i wish you'd give me a shot that you wouldn't mind you're floating away now i couldn't make you mine
