[Intro — 0:00–0:08] [Single distorted guitar harmonic] [Low heartbeat kick] [Close-mic male vocal] You walked in late. I remember thinking, “Don't look at her.” [small pause] So I looked. [Verse 1 — intimate, conversational] Black dress, silver rings, hair falling over one eye. You were laughing with your friends, but every now and then you'd look my way. Not long enough to call it flirting. Just long enough to make me wonder. You took my drink without asking. One sip. That little smile. “That's yours now?” You shrugged. I should've laughed it off. Instead, I watched your mouth on the edge of my glass. [Pre-Chorus — inner thought] And somewhere in my head a sensible voice said, “Go home.” Then you came closer. And suddenly home didn't sound so good. [CHORUS — BIG HOOK] [Full live drums] [Distorted guitar] [Deep bass] You're a bad idea, and I want you anyway. Bad idea, but I don't wanna walk away. I know what happens when I get too close to you. You're a bad idea… And I still look good next to you. [Post-Chorus] Bad idea… Yeah, I know. Bad idea… Here I go. [Verse 2 — late-night scene] 2:13, your name lights up my phone. “Still awake?” I stare at it long enough to know I shouldn't answer. Then I type, “Yeah.” Three dots. “Come over.” I laugh to myself. You knew I'd come. [Short instrumental pocket] When you open the door, you're wearing my old T-shirt. Bare feet. No makeup. Hair tied up. And somehow you look better like this. You take my hand like it's the most normal thing in the world. I almost tell you this is a bad idea. You look at me. I forget the sentence. [Pre-Chorus 2 — tension] The record is playing low. Your kitchen light is on. You pour yourself some water and hand me the glass. Our fingers touch. Nothing happens. And somehow that's worse. Because now I'm thinking about everything that could. [CHORUS — BIGGER] You're a bad idea, and I want you anyway. Bad idea, but I don't wanna walk away. I know what happens when I get too close to you. You're a bad idea… And I still look good next to you. [Instrumental Break] [Signature distorted guitar riff] [Deep bass] [Live drums] [Dark atmospheric synth] [Short vocal fragments] Bad… Bad idea. [Bridge — stripped / emotional] Maybe it's not you. Maybe it's me. Maybe I like the five minutes before everything gets complicated. The look in your eyes before either of us speaks. The way you move closer and wait for me to decide. I could leave. I know I could. My keys are right there. [Pause] But you're standing barefoot in my shirt, looking at me like you already know the answer. So I stay. [Silence] Yeah. That's the problem. [FINAL BUILD] [Heartbeat kick] [Breathing vocal] [Guitar gradually opens] I stay. [Percussion rises] Every time… I stay. [FINAL CHORUS — MAXIMUM] [Full live drums] [Wide distorted guitars] [Deep bass] [Layered male vocals] [Airy falsetto harmony] You're a bad idea, and I want you anyway. Bad idea, but I don't wanna walk away. I know what happens when I get too close to you. You're a bad idea… And I still look good next to you. [FINAL CHORUS VARIATION — emotional payoff] You don't have to promise me tomorrow. I don't need to know your plans. Just come a little closer, put your fingers in my hand. If this is gonna hurt, let it hurt when the morning comes. Tonight, I don't wanna be the careful one. [FINAL HOOK] [Drums cut for vocal] Bad idea… [Beat returns] Here I go. Bad idea… [Higher vocal] Here I go again. [OUTRO — intimate, loopable] [Only guitar + room ambience] You walked in late. [small laugh] I should've gone home. [Whisper] I didn't. [Distorted guitar motif]
