[Verse 1 | rap-sung male vocal enters with confidence, slap bass and breaks tight, wah guitar in the pocket] My chaotic love moves in endless jitter A restless particle that won't sit still You stand inside the scatter, growing bitter Trying hard to bend it to your will [Chorus | punchy brass hits enter, warm Rhodes chords sustain, vocal opens with soulful push, ad-libs and emphasis on "I love too wild, I love too free"] My directionless love betrays you once again A current with no course, no rest I love too wild, I love too free, and then I leave you with the a wreckaged chest [Verse 2 | wah guitar more prominent, breaks tighten, vocal builds intensity, Rhodes chords underneath] My nervous love runs in constant motion A particle whose course is not its own Wild chaos in your eyes, a quiet ocean Of grief — and I am fumbling here alone [Chorus | brass hits slightly bigger, ad-libs and emphasis on "I love too wild, I love too free"] My directionless love betrays you once again A current with no course, no rest I love too wild, I love too free, and then I leave you with the a wreckaged chest [Verse 3 | storytelling rap-sung delivery with confident attitude, groove rolls forward, slow build toward final chorus] We came to the party together that night The room was warm, the crowd was pressing tight I forgot you — didn't even look your way Lost in someone new and all she had to say Her voice pulled me under like a hidden current And I didn't fight the pull, didn't even try [Chorus - varied | brass fills more open, more reverb on vocal for hindsight, ad-libs continue on "I loved too wild, I loved too free"] My directionless love betrays you once again A current with no course, no rest I loved too wild, I loved too free, and then I leave you with the a wreckaged chest [Outro | groove strips down to slap bass and vocal, Rhodes holds a chord, brass and drums drop out, lands the open question over minimal groove] While my love kept running free into the dark What is love supposed to be When it never holds still [End]
