A recorded reading of “Out For Delivery”. If the player does not load, use the original audio source.
You text a window: late. The porch light learns to wait. You stamp a kiss on tape; you swear, I won’t be late. My browser breathes the page; I pace the hallway stage. Scan the code. Hit the road. Say you’ll show. Let me know. Out for delivery. Come to me—hurry. Your number pings, then sleeps; the spinner turns and creeps. Label made—the promise stalls. My coffee counts in sweeps. Map dot slides up my street; my ribs keep backbeat heat. Clear the air. Be right there. Ring—don’t dare disappear. Out for delivery. Come to me—hurry. Hold line. Green sign. Door chime. Right time. Out for delivery. Come to me—hurry. Steps on wood; keys shake. Tape’s tang; dusk thins to slate. The latch gives—air breaks. You’re here, for real. I let go—hold.
Instructional lyrics
[Intro soft pad click] [Verse 1 palm-mute gtr soft kit] You text a window, “late” I watch the porch light wait You stamp a kiss as crate You say, “I won’t be late” My browser breathes the page I pace the hallway stage [Pre rise piano ostinato + arp] Scan the code On the road Say you’ll show Let me know [Break 2b stop] [Chorus big double vox] Out for delivery Come to me, hurry [Verse 2 pulse bass rimshot] Your number pings then sleeps The spinner turns and creeps “Label made,” promise keeps My coffee counts in sweeps Map dot slides near my street My heart drums backbeat heat [Pre rise wider harmonies] Clear the air Be right there Ring, don’t dare Disappear [Chorus big] Out for delivery Come to me, hurry [Chorus x2] [Bridge drop vox + toms] Door chime Right time One line You’re mine [Chorus ad-libs + crowd claps] Out for delivery Come to me, hurry [Chorus x2] [Outro pad tail] Steps on wood, keys shake You’re here now, no mistake
