Do I Miss Anything?

[Style: Late night confessional, talk-sing, not British ska. Laid back, behind the beat, American, intimate, like thinking out loud alone]

[Verse 1 - quiet, close to mic, slow arpeggio]
Phone light [pause] in a dark room glow [breath]
Three AM [short pause] and I'm still chasing that flow [breath]
Canvas, video, beat on repeat [pause]
Don't need nobody [breath] got beauty on my phone at my feet [long pause]

Verse 2 - more self-aware, slight smile
Self-absorbed [pause] and I'm fine with that [breath]
Lost in projects [pause] wearing down the mat [breath]
World outside can wait its turn [pause]
Got a fire in my fingers [breath] and a world to burn [long pause]

[Chorus - HALF TIME rocksteady, hold the notes, let them ring]
Sooooo lonely [hold] right now [pause] and I don't even care [breath]
Wrapped up in making beauty [pause] in the midnight air [breath]
So lonely right now [pause] till the radio bleeds [breath]
One song [pause] and I'm aching [hold] for all that I need [long pause]

[Verse 3 - radio crackle moment, heart ache]
Then that song crackles [pause] out the car radio [breath]
Same one that we danced to [pause] down in Mexico [breath]
Static and a steel drum [pause] and her laugh in the rain [breath]
Heart starts aching [hold] like an old sweet pain [long pause]

[Verse 4 - list the women, each name clear]
Jenny [pause] with the summer dress in June [breath]
Maya [pause] and that motel and that blood moon [breath]
Sofia in the kitchen [pause] singing off key [breath]
Lisa left her sweater [pause] still smells like me [breath]
Every one a good time [pause] every one a spark [breath]
Every one left a light on [hold] in the dark [long pause]

Chorus 2 - bigger, more open
So lonely right now [pause] and I don't even care [breath]
Wrapped up in making beauty [pause] but nobody's there [breath]
So lonely right now [pause] till the radio plays [breath]
All of them women [pause] come back in a haze [long pause]

Bridge - whispered, almost to yourself
Black air [pause] phone light [pause] same old room [breath]
Making something beautiful [pause] out of gloom [breath]
What you gonna do [pause] with beautiful alone [hold] [breath]
What you gonna do [pause] when the song hits home [long pause]

[Outro - phone buzz, smile, problem solved, casual]
Then my phone buzzes [phone buzz sfx] says "You got a message" [breath]
Her voice saying [pause] "Hey, you still up? Guess" [breath] [soft laugh]
Call me if you're alone [pause] Problem solved [pause] I'm not alone [pause] see ya [breath] gotta go [click] [end]
