STUDIO

[Instrumental Intro – 4 bars] [ Main "Lazy Expensive" hook from the chorus opens the song.] [Verse 1A – light, quick, melodic, conversational phrasing] You left your shirt on the chair again I left my coffee going cold Sunlight sitting on the windowsill Like it doesn’t wanna go Your phone keeps lighting up But you turn it face down Your phone keeps lighting up But you turn it face down (Mine’s been dead since eleven, I like it better now) [Verse 1B – playful, tighter rhythmic delivery] We got crumbs in the blanket Cartoons on mute ( I say you’re dramatic) You say I’m rude (You say I look expensive) In an oversized (T-shirt from you) ( I say you’re dramatic) You say I’m rude ( I say you’re dramatic) You say I’m rude (Then you kiss my shoulder) Like you got something to prove [Pre-Chorus – lighter percussion, rising melodic anticipation] We could clean the whole apartment We could try to be adults We could answer every message But baby, what’s the rush? [Chorus 1 – full melodic lift, spacious and buoyant] Let’s be lazy expensive Doing nothing like a luxury Half a day on the sofa You and me and delivery Let the ice melt in the kitchen Let the world keep making plans I got everything I wanted In the palm of your hand [Post-Chorus – catchy, rhythmic, sung hook] Lazy expensive Lazy expensive We ain’t got to go nowhere To feel like we’re living lavish [Instrumental Post-Chorus – 8 bars] To feel like we’re living lavish [Verse 2A – return to quick, syncopated vocal phrasing] You put music on low Something sweet with a bassline (I’m pretending I’m reading But I’m stealing all your face time) You keep making me laugh When I’m trying to act cute (I’m pretending I’m reading But I’m stealing all your face time) You keep making me laugh When I’m trying to act cute (I got one sock missing And my legs across you) [Verse 2B – groove develops, more instrumental interplay] There’s a glass bottle sweating On the coffee table Sparkling water, no occasion Just because we’re able You say, “Should we get dressed?” (I say, “Absolutely not”) Then we make big plans To never leave this spot [Pre-Chorus 2 – pull back the groove, melodic buildup] We could go out for the evening Find a rooftop, call a car But your hand is in my hair And the city feels too far [Chorus 2 – full melodic chorus, richer accompaniment] Let’s be lazy expensive Doing nothing like a luxury Half a day on the sofa You and me and delivery Let the ice melt in the kitchen Let the world keep making plans I got everything I wanted In the palm of your hand [Post-Chorus – catchy, rhythmic, sung hook] Lazy expensive Lazy expensive We ain’t got to go nowhere To feel like we’re living lavish [Instrumental Post-Chorus – 8 bars] To feel like we’re living lavish [bridge] Maybe this is the good part Notjust the dress, notjust the lights [bridge] Maybe this is the good part Notjust the dress, notjust the lights (Butchyur laugh in the hallway And my feet on your thighs) Maybe love is a slow day With the curtains half closed (Two drinks getting warmer And nowhere else to go) [Final Chorus – full arrangement, expansive melodic lift] Let’s be lazy expensive [Chorus 1 – full melodic lift, spacious and buoyant] Let’s be lazy expensive Doing nothing like a luxury Half a day on the sofa You and me and delivery Let the ice melt in the kitchen Let the world keep making plans I got everything I wanted In the palm of your hand [Post-Chorus – catchy, rhythmic, sung hook] Lazy expensive Lazy expensive We ain’t got to go nowhere To feel like we’re living lavish [Instrumental Post-Chorus – 8 bars] To feel like we’re living lavish [Instrumental Outro - main hook to close – 8 bars] . . .
