Greedy of You

[Intro | whispered male vocal over deep pulsing synth bass, soft kick building] Good night... good night... three summer days... good night... [Verse 1 | smooth tight groove, warm drums, descending synth bass, male vocal close to the mic] Three days in a borrowed town, your hand in mine, sun going down. You dazzled me... I went in blind, straight into the fire... didn't mind. We burned too fast, we burned too bright... fifty years in a single night. Then the doors slid shut between us two, and nothing since has felt like you. [Pre-Chorus | drums building, rising tension, chanted vocal] I could resist it all... till I saw you. I could resist it all... till I saw you. [Chorus | full warm groove, soft guitar accents, big soulful vocal, backing vocal echoes] I'm greedy of you... (greedy of you) don't think of anything but me. You have absorbed me... I dissolve into you... I can't exist... I can't exist... every hour... I crave more of you... I'm greedy of you. I can't breathe without you. [Verse 2 | stripped to bass and drums, electric piano answering each line, intimate vocal] I watch you through the screen at night, your face lit up in borrowed light. You're going and coming, smiling wide in a world on the other side. You text good night... I hold the phone against my chest when I'm alone. One thin pane of magic glass... and every hour I watch you pass. [Pre-Chorus | drums building, chanted vocal escalating] I could resist it all... till I saw you. I never stood a chance... once I saw you. [Chorus | full warm groove, soft guitar accents, backing vocal echoes] I'm greedy of you... (greedy of you) don't think of anything but me. You have absorbed me... I dissolve into you... I can't exist... I can't exist... every hour... I crave more of you... I'm greedy of you. I can't breathe without you. [Bridge | half-time feel, stripped drums, bass forward, tense restrained vocal] No one to blame... nothing to fight... just time zones, tickets, the rest of life. I can't say forget me... but I know: there are impossibilities in the world. To be happy with you... to be happy with you... would take a luckier star than mine. Three dots... then nothing... three dots... then nothing... I scroll back through to find your last good night. [Breakdown | everything strips away, bare synth bass pulse, half-spoken male vocal] I cannot exist without you. I am forgetful of everything... everything but seeing you again. My life seems to stop there. I see no further. [Final Chorus | full groove returns, most yearning vocal of the song] I'm greedy of you... (greedy of you) don't think of anything but me. You have absorbed me... I dissolve into you... I can't exist... I can't exist... [Outro | sudden full stop, dead silence, then whispered male vocal over faint fading bass pulse] Good night... good night... good night... [End]
