[Intro – soft, roomy, slightly delayed vocals] (yeah… mm) hold it… let it breathe. [Verse 1 – calm, conversational, slight smirk] I always believed I was the king of kitsch .....! tilted, walking round town. You look once and I settle down — funny how fast that goes. [small pause] [Pre-Chorus – low voice, closer to mic] Tryna play it cool… but you know. [Chorus – clean vocal, light slapback delay, small reverb] You keep coming back like you meant to, Acting like it’s nothing at all. I play it down like I planned to, But I feel it every time you call. Call, call, You always make it sound so small. Call, call, And I answer like I’ve no say at all. --- [Instrumental Break – short] soft drums + bass, tiny synth swell [2 counts pause] > . .. ✓ --- [Verse 2 – slightly more confident tone] I switch moods like coats on hooks, You walk careful like someone looks. I’m not slick as I swore I was — you caught that quick, love. [Pre-Chorus – whispery, intimate] Tryna keep my cool… but you know. [Power Chorus – repeat, but give slightly more energy] You keep coming back like you meant to, Acting like it’s nothing at all. I play it down like I planned to, But I feel it every time you call. Call, call, You always make it sound so small. Call, call, And I answer like I’ve no say at all. --- [Bridge – spaced out, airy reverb, minimal instruments] You’re trouble… that I let in. Not planned… but it fits. --- [Build-Up Instrumental – rising! add ! here] ![kick opens up] ![hi-hat starts climbing] ![bass gets warmer] ![vocal doubles incoming] --- [Final Chorus – more breath, not shouty, confident tired half-smile] You keep coming back like you meant to, Acting like it’s nothing at all. I play it down like I planned to, But I feel it every time you call. Call, call, You always make it sound so small. Call, call, And I answer like I’ve no say at all. --- [End – low vocal, lazy, let reverb trail] let it ring...... [End]
