[Verse 1] Floor turns to water, I’m sinking in slow Ceiling fan halo just circling glow There’s a cloud in the corner that knows my name Keeps folding my thoughts into paper planes Ashtray galaxy, embers in bloom Time drips sideways across the room Every little heartbeat sounds far away Like it’s stuck in the curtain, too tired to say [Pre-Chorus] You say, “Breathe in” And the colors bend All the corners of the day Start to round again [Chorus] Soft gravity, pull me through the cushions Let me float where the lost thoughts hum If I melt into this quiet confusion Would you follow when my pulse goes numb? Soft gravity, hold me like a rumor Barely true but stubborn in the dark If I vanish in the smoke for a moment Will you trace me by the echo of my heart? [Verse 2] There’s a stain on the wall shaped just like a door If I stare long enough, I can hear it breathe more Your laugh spills out in slow-motion threads Wrapping my fingers, looping my head Glass on the table, a small private sea With little green moons staring back at me Your shadow leans long over my knees Says, “You’re not really stuck, you’re just half-free” [Pre-Chorus] You say, “Lean back” And the distance folds All the edges of my doubt Get blurred in gold [Chorus] Soft gravity, pull me through the cushions Let me float where the lost thoughts hum If I melt into this quiet confusion Would you follow when my pulse goes numb? Soft gravity, hold me like a rumor Barely true but stubborn in the dark If I vanish in the smoke for a moment Will you trace me by the echo of my heart? [Bridge] Carpet turns to hillside, breathing under my feet Your hand is a lighthouse in the heavy heat Words fall apart into atoms of sound We’re not on the couch, we’re just orbiting ground Window is a pupil staring out at the night Streetlamp halos dripping slow, honey light Every tiny movement rings around the space I can feel the whole room sliding off my face [Soft Break] Mmm, stay right here Where the clocks can’t see us Mmm, stay right here Where the air can keep us [Chorus - Final] Soft gravity, pull me through the cushions Let me float where the lost thoughts hum If I melt into this quiet confusion Would you follow when my pulse goes numb? Soft gravity, keep me in your orbit Let the outside flicker and depart If I vanish in the smoke for a moment You’ll still find me in the echo of your heart [End] [Production Notes: Tempo around 82–88 BPM, lazy swung pocket. Soft, dusty drum kit with rounded kick, brushed or snappy snare, gentle hi-hats. Warm, slightly compressed electric bass with simple, looping lines. Electric piano (Rhodes or Wurlitzer) as the core harmonic bed, with gentle tremolo. Light Mellotron or flute pad for hazy top-end texture. Soft, clean electric guitar doing reverb-heavy chords and tiny melodic fills panned wide. Lots of room reverb and a bit of tape delay on select phrases. Subtle vinyl crackle or room ambience to sell the living-room stoner vibe. Keep the mix warm and mid-focused, not harsh; everything slightly blurred at the edges.] [Vocal Notes: Female lead vocalist: soft, intimate, close to the mic, slightly breathy but controlled. Double-track the lead in choruses with gentle harmonies a third above or below on key words (“soft gravity,” “pull me,” “echo of my heart”). Occasional whispery ad-libs in the gaps, lightly drenched in reverb and delay. Keep verses conversational and understated; let the pre-chorus open slightly; let choruses bloom with more resonance and stereo spread. Add a slightly lo-fi effect (gentle filter or tape wobble) on parts of the bridge and soft break, then clear it back up for the final chorus to feel like coming up for air.]
