You swear you’re done on Monday Box up our notes by midday You mute my songs by sundown Then text me “home?” by one Streetlight paints gold on wet stone You buzz my door like come home Hard goodbyes Thin alibis Blinking eyes Same reprise Miss the mess, miss Quitter’s kiss, kiss You call me strong on Tuesday Say “clean break” like it’s new play But midweek fogs into replay— Raincoats steam on the chair-back, Stairwell garlic and wet wool, You leave the key like a dare on the sill. Mean it, now Name the vow If we bow Show me how Miss the map’s crease, miss Quitter’s salt-kiss Cold line Deadline Choose light Hold tight Miss the mess, miss Quitter’s kiss, kiss Door half-closed, soft hiss— You palm the key, then kiss.
Instructional lyrics
[Intro lofi pad click] [Verse 1 palm-mute gtr soft kit] You swear you’re done on Monday Box up our notes by midday You mute my songs by sundown Then text me “home?” by one now Streetlight paints gold on wet stone You buzz my door like come home [Pre rise piano ostinato + arp] Hard goodbyes Thin alibis Blinking eyes Same reprise [Break 2b stop] [Chorus big double vox] Miss the mess, miss Quitter’s kiss, kiss [Verse 2 pulse bass rimshot] You call me strong on Tuesday Say “clean break” like it’s new play But midweek turns to replay We fold the map the same way You drop your pride on my floor You say “last time,” then ask more [Pre rise wider harmonies] Mean it now Name the vow If we bow Show me how [Chorus big] Miss the mess, miss Quitter’s kiss, kiss [Chorus x2] [Bridge drop vox + toms] Cold line Deadline Choose light Hold tight [Chorus ad-libs + crowd claps] Miss the mess, miss Quitter’s kiss, kiss [Chorus x2] [Outro pad tail] Door half-closed, soft hiss Lean in, leave, one more kiss
