Reverse in (Parallel love)

[Intro] [Sound of rain and distant thunder. A shimmering Rhodes piano chord hangs in the air. A slow 808 beat with a finger snap begins.] [Lead Vocal (Spoken, breathy)] Girl... I see you standing there. On the curb. Looking for a man who can... fit in. Don't you worry. I got this. [Verse 1] [Lead Vocal (Singing with intense, breathy emotion)] They say this city's cruel, a heartless design Left a tiny space between that Subaru and the yellow line (Ooh yeah) Lesser men, they would drive on by, they wouldn't dare to try But they don't have my spatial awareness for you, baby, and that's no lie I can't curb my enthusiasm, when I see a spot so tight Gonna show you what a real man's made of, here in the pale moonlight [Chorus] [Four-part harmonies swell, perfectly blended] Girl, let me reverse in... [Backing Vocals: Reverse in, baby] To your heart tonight. My perfect alignment... [Backing Vocals: Gonna get it right] Will make everything feel right. Yeah, let me reverse in... [Backing Vocals: So slow, so slow] No need to be afraid. 'Cause my parallel love... is the only love you'll ever need. [Verse 2] [Lead Vocal (Getting more passionate)] My three-point turn of deep affection, girl, is aimed right at your soul (At your soul...) A ninety-degree angle is my ultimate goal I'm checkin' all my mirrors, 'cause I can't bear to see The reflection of a life, a life without you next to me No dings, no scratches, just a smooth and gentle glide Got my foot right on the brake, with nothin' left to hide [Chorus] [Harmonies are even more elaborate and emotional] Girl, let me reverse in... [Backing Vocals: Reverse in, baby] To your heart tonight. My perfect alignment... [Backing Vocals: Gonna get it right] Will make everything feel right. Yeah, let me reverse in... [Backing Vocals: So slow, so slow] No need to be afraid. 'Cause my parallel love... is the only love you'll ever need. [Bridge] [Music drops to just the rain sounds and a synth pad. Lead vocal is a dramatic, spoken whisper.] Some men will bring you flowers. Some men will bring you diamonds. But can they do this? [Sound of a car's proximity sensor beeping slowly] In one move? Without the automated parking feature? [The beeping gets faster] I didn't think so. I'm checking my blind spot, girl... For any other guys who might try to take your love. And I see... no one. Just a clear path... to you. [Final Chorus / Outro] [Music crashes back in, bigger than before. Lead vocal is ad-libbing passionately.] GIRL, LET ME REVERSE IN! [Backing Vocals: Reverse in, baby] TO YOUR HEART TONIGHT! (My perfect alignment!) MY PERFECT ALIGNMENT! [Backing Vocals: Gonna get it right] (Gonna get it right for you, girl!) WILL MAKE EVERYTHING FEEL RIGHT! [Lead Vocal Ad-libs as the song fades out] (Yeah... right between the lines...) (Not a single scratch, baby...) (Perfect distance from the curb...) (A one-move-wonder, girl...) (Just for you...) (Parallel love...) [Song fades out with the sound of a car door locking and one final finger snap]
