[VOICE: female lead, 25–27, soulful expressive American English, emotionally unpredictable, confident feminine tone] [VOCAL PERFORMANCE: Verses: breathy, intimate, close-mic, slightly spoken-sung Hooks: stronger projection, slight rasp, blues attitude Bridge: intimate spoken-sung tension build Final hook: full emotional release, controlled power] [STRUCTURE INTENTION: Signature electric bass guitar riff is the main identity of the track and must recur throughout (intro, verses, hooks, instrumental sections). Bridge is an instrumental jam where bass, wah guitar, and drums interact in call-and-response.] [VERSE 1] Some nights I want you next to me Some nights I just need space to breathe I pull you close, then set you free Don’t ask me why, that’s just me Some nights I miss your heavy hands Some nights I don’t even understand You light my fire, then burn my skin I pull you out, then pull you in [HOOK] Don’t take it personal, baby, don’t I change my mind like I always won’t I pull you close, then let you go That’s how it is, that’s all I know It’s love, it’s fire, it’s sweet, it’s pain It’s pouring whiskey in the rain I call your name, then shut the door Then want you back like before [VERSE 2] Some days I wear your faded shirt Some days I treat your memory hurt I scroll your name like I don’t care Then feel you breathing in the air You break me down, then make me high You’re my truth and my alibi One touch from you I fall apart One wrong word, I restart my heart [HOOK] Don’t take it personal, baby, don’t I change my mind like I always won’t I pull you close, then let you go That’s how it is, that’s all I know It’s love, it’s fire, it’s sweet, it’s pain It’s pouring whiskey in the rain I call your name, then shut the door Then want you back like before [BRIDGE – SPOKEN] Come here… no, don’t Stay close… no, don’t Boy, you calm my chaos down Then turn my whole world upside down [INSTRUMENTAL BREAKDOWN: Bass guitar riff leads, wah-wah guitar responds, drums build tension in a live funk blues jam. Call-and-response interaction, increasing groove intensity.] [VERSE 3] Right now I want you on my skin Right now I swear I’ll let you in But give it time, I’ll change again I love the storm inside my veins So hold me close, or walk away I might want both the same damn day Don’t try to fix what can’t be tamed I’m sweet, I’m wild, I’m not the same [FINAL HOOK] Don’t take it personal, baby, don’t I change my mind like I always won’t I pull you close, then let you go That’s how it is, that’s all I know It’s love, it’s fire, it’s sweet, it’s pain It’s pouring whiskey in the rain I call your name, then shut the door Then want you back like before
