HEADWIND

[Intro] [syncopated electric bass enters, clean electric guitar staccato chords] [tight drum kit enters with steady backbeat] [Verse 1] [smooth male vocals] We made each other ill Let's not sugarcoat it We made each other ill Now we both know it's true But we struggled uphill While rain fell and a headwind blew [Chorus] [vocal layering, bass becomes more melodic] We made each other stressed Let's not pretend we didn't We made each other stressed From most of every day But we never let it rest We struggled on hoping it would go away [bass slide] Yet here we are back in each other's arms And we know it's a pointless place But the love remains and each time we push it away It waits a few days Then it laughs in our face [Post-Chorus] [fuller arrangement, synth pads swell] Oh, we are each other's weakness We are each other's bad news We always waste precious time But it's something we continue to choose [Verse 2] [drums and bass continue driving groove] We drive each other mad It's a total love and hate thing We drive each other mad And we'll break each other's hearts But it makes us both feel sad To think of living life apart [Chorus] [vocal intensity increases] Oh, we are each other's weakness We are each other's bad news We always waste precious time But it's something we continue to choose [Bridge] [guitar solo-like fills, heavy bass presence] We drive each other mad And we'll break each other's hearts But it makes us both feel sad To think of living life apart [Outro] [falsetto vocals] The worst idea we had Was thinking we could live life apart [instruments fade out, final bass note rings]
