[Intro] [short direct instrumental opening] [thick open-chord electric guitar with dense midrange] [rounded centered bass enters early] [dry full-kit drums establish steady human_band_pocket] [restrained cymbals] [avoid thin wiry guitar tone] [raw spontaneous analog-warm production] [Verse 1] [close lead vocal partly embedded in band] [plainspoken tense delivery] [lower projection at first] [guitars narrower and less layered than chorus] [strong lower-mid guitar body] [rounded bass carries weight under vocal] [dry kick and snare] [minimal cymbal wash] [subtle push-pull timing] Your name lit up the screen 2AM, no sleep City lights through the window No promises to keep You said this won’t be easy You said we move too fast Your hand around my wrist Like you’re daring it to last [Pre-Chorus] [guitar rhythm tightens] [bass becomes more insistent] [snare firms without becoming oversized] [vocal commands become sharper] [pressure increases without adding brightness] [brief space before chorus] Don’t say it soft Don’t slow it down Don’t pull back now [Chorus] [hard-widening pop-rock chorus] [layered open-chord electric guitars] [thick cabinet resonance and dense mids] [centered authoritative bass] [dry drums hit harder] [restrained cymbal brightness] [lead vocal opens into gritty melodic hook] [good rough chorus harmony] [keep guitars loud and obnoxious without brittle top end] Kiss me like a warning Like it might go wrong Kiss me like you mean it Like you won’t be gone [Verse 2] [return narrower but keep chorus memory] [guitar remains thicker than Verse 1] [bass slightly more forward] [dry drums keep physical momentum] [vocal stays tense and conversational] [small guitar-drum reactions around phrases] Backseat of a rental car Streetlights flashing red You laugh too loud at nothing Jaw tight instead We don’t have steady ground We don’t have a plan But when you pull me closer I don’t pull my hand [Pre-Chorus] [tighter than first pre-chorus] [more rhythmic guitar pressure] [bass and kick push forward together] [vocal more urgent] [brief hard stop before chorus] Don’t say it soft Don’t slow it down Don’t pull back now [Chorus] [wider layered guitars] [thick low-mid body] [rounded bass stays prominent] [strong dry snare body] [lead vocal more exposed and gritty] [rough harmony on hook] [avoid glossy top-end sheen] Kiss me like a warning Like it might go wrong Kiss me like you mean it Like you won’t be gone [Bridge] [strip guitar layers back abruptly] [bass and dry drums remain] [vocal exposed and more forceful] [guitar returns in rough clipped bursts] [feedback pressure builds behind final lines] [slight spontaneous guitar-drum reactions] I don’t want safe I don’t want slow I don’t want something We already know If it’s gonna burn Let it burn tight I’d rather wake up shaking Than never lose the fight [Final Chorus] [maximum width and physical energy] [thick layered electric guitars] [dense lower-mid cabinet weight] [strong centered bass] [dry full-kit drums with natural fills] [restrained cymbal wash] [lead vocal pushed harder with clear grit] [rough chorus harmony] [keep mix heavy rather than bright] Kiss me like a warning Like it might go wrong Kiss me like you mean it Like you won’t be gone Kiss me like a warning Don’t keep it light Kiss me like you mean it Like it’s our last night [Outro] [hold final guitar chord with feedback edge] [bass sustains underneath] [short decisive full-band stop] [end]
