Intro) (A cinematic swell of orchestral strings that suddenly cuts into a dry, clicking trap beat) (Breathy whisper) One, two... are you with me? Yeah. (Verse 1) (Minimalist production: just a deep, pulsing bass and finger snaps) You’re leaning on the doorframe like a ghost In a house that we both burned down I’m picking up the pieces of the words you said Before we hit the edge of town You’re acting like you’re innocent, I know the game You’re calling out a different name But when the sun goes down, you’re in my bed Trying to get inside my head. (Pre-Chorus) (Music builds with a low-pass filter synth) I’m not a saint, I’m not a savior I’m just a victim of your bad behavior And we’re running out of moonlight, babe Before the whole thing starts to fade. (Chorus) (Beat drops: Heavy kick drum, atmospheric synths, and the "stutter" vocal effect) I need you to choose a side Ri-ri-ri-right now Before I take a bow, now I’m caught in the crossfire Do-do-do-do-down Baby, are you down? If we’re gonna do this, let’s do it Ri-ri-ri-right now Yeah, I need you to love me... Now. (Verse 2) (Bass becomes more aggressive, adding a rhythmic "hit" every four bars) You say you want the truth but you love the lie I see the red in both your eyes We’re star-crossed but we’re crossing lines Until we’re running out of signs I’ve spent too many nights on the bathroom floor Wondering what I’m fighting for But then you touch me and the world goes black And I’m never, ever coming back. (Pre-Chorus) (Music dips—just a hollow, echoing synth pad) I’m not a saint, I’m not a savior I’m just a victim of your bad behavior And we’re running out of moonlight, babe Before the whole thing starts to fade. (Chorus) (Maximum intensity) I need you to choose a side Ri-ri-ri-right now Before I take a bow, now I’m caught in the crossfire Do-do-do-do-down Baby, are you down? If we’re gonna do this, let’s do it Ri-ri-ri-right now Yeah, I need you to love me... Now. (Bridge) (The beat stops completely. Spoken word, very close to the mic) You know, they say that love is a battlefield. But they didn't mention the smoke. They didn't mention that I'd be the one holding the match. (Music explodes back in with distorted vocals) I’m not waiting for another "maybe"! I’m not waiting for you to save me! (Chorus) (Heavy, echoing production) I need you to choose a side Ri-ri-ri-right now Before I take a bow, now I’m caught in the crossfire Do-do-do-do-down Baby, are you down? If we’re gonna do this, let’s do it Ri-ri-ri-right now Yeah, I need you to love me... Now. (Outro) (Slow, rhythmic fading kick drum) Ri-ri-ri-right now. (Echoing) Are you down? (Distant string swell) Now. (Sudden silence)
