Emotional melodic rap, alternative hip-hop, ambi

PARKED OUTSIDE

Intro — soft piano

It's almost two in the morning,
I'm right outside your place.
Funny how I face the world,
But I'm scared to see your face.

Verse 1 — melodic rap

I've been sitting in this parking lot, rehearsing what I'd say,
A thousand different endings running through my head all day.
I wanna walk up to your door, tell you everything I hide,
Pull you close and kiss you like I've dreamed about a thousand times.

But what if you turn away? What if you don't feel it too?
What if I risk the little bit I have just by telling you the truth?
I'm so good at playing cool, pretending nothing's on my mind,
But you're the one I think about when I'm alone at night.

Pre-Chorus — building melody

You don't know what you do to me,
You don't know the half.
I hide behind a stupid joke
When I just wanna make you laugh.

Chorus — emotional, soaring vocals

I'm parked outside your apartment,
With your name inside my chest.
Got a thousand words to tell you,
But I'm choking on the rest.

God, I wanna walk right in there,
Pull you close and kiss you slow,
Tell you you're the one I'm thinking of
When I'm driving home alone.

But what if you don't want me
The way I want you tonight?
I'm parked outside your apartment,
Too scared to change our lives.

Verse 2 — rhythmic, vulnerable rap

I've rebuilt myself from pieces, fought my way through darker days,
But the thought of you not wanting me has me frozen in this place.
I wanna know your little secrets, be the one you call at night,
Be the arms you fall into when everything ain't right.

I don't want another almost, another chance I let go by,
Another sleepless night wondering what would've happened if I'd tried.
Maybe I've been so afraid of losing what we have,
That I'm standing at the starting line, too scared to take a chance.

Bridge — piano alone, raw vocals

What if I knock…
And you open the door?

What if you feel
What I've been feeling and more?

But what if you look at me
Like I'm someone you've never seen?

It's hard to risk your heart
When you don't know what it means.

Final Chorus — biggest emotional moment

I'm parked outside your apartment,
And I'm done with hiding here.
I've been letting fear write endings
To a story that's not clear.

God, I wanna walk right to you,
Tell you everything I know,
That I've wanted you beside me
More than I've ever let it show.

And if you don't feel the same way,
I won't ask you to pretend.
I'd rather know the truth tonight
Than wonder what could've been.

Outro — whispered over fading piano

It's almost two in the morning…
I'm standing at your door.

My heart's beating like it's never
Beat this hard before.

I take a breath…

And knock.
