THURSDAY

**[VERSE 1]**

I met you on a Tuesday, I think,
You talked about some shit I didn't think.
I don't remember what you said that day,
But I remember how you laughed that way.

Your hair was messy, falling in your eyes,
I thought, *fuck, he's pretty* — then I looked aside.
I told nobody when I said your name,
I just smiled on the bus like nothing had changed.

**[PRE-CHORUS]**

Then you came back, again and again,
In crowded streets and empty trains.
I lived my life, or so I thought,
Funny how you ended up in every thought.

**[CHORUS]**

When did I fall? When did I lose my way?
When did your name become the thing I wait all day?
I watch my screen like there's something to find,
Like your little “hey” could change my whole night.

When did I fall? I never meant to stay,
Now every little word you say won't go away.
You say my name, I lose my train of thought,
I swear I had a point… I just forgot.

**[VERSE 2]**

I changed my seat just to see you pass,
Then called it random when you walked right past.
I fixed my hair in every window I could find,
Then hated myself for caring every time.

I learned your hours, the things you always do,
The stupid little phrases that belong to you.
I wait ten minutes when your message comes,
Just so you don't think I'm waiting for someone.

**[PRE-CHORUS]**

And now I know, yeah, now I know,
It's not a little thing that's gonna go.
I tried to hide it, tried to play it cool,
But you took every empty space I knew.

**[CHORUS]**

When did I fall? When did I lose my way?
When did your name become the thing I wait all day?
I watch my screen like there's something to find,
Like your little “hey” could change my whole night.

When did I fall? I never meant to stay,
Now every little word you say won't go away.
You say my name, I lose my train of thought,
I swear I had a point… I just forgot.

**[VERSE 3]**

I tried the looks, the texts, the little games,
I wore that jacket just because you said you liked the way it came.
Or maybe you never said it, maybe that's my mind,
I made a thousand meanings out of every sign.

Then you told me about her, just like that,
I smiled and said, “Oh, cool,” while my whole chest went flat.
You looked so happy, I couldn't even lie,
So I counted every second till I could say goodbye.

**[PRE-CHORUS]**

I wanted you to notice me so bad,
Now being seen by you just makes me sad.
I put my whole heart underneath your gaze,
You looked somewhere else and walked away.

**[BRIDGE — FLOATING]**

I think about that Tuesday, late at night,
That stupid little room, that stupid little light.
You talked about something I forgot by now,
But somehow I still remember how.

Your voice, your sweater, the bus-window glow,
Things I never thought I'd care enough to know.
It's funny what love chooses to leave behind,
It keeps all the useless things and takes the rest from your mind.

**[FINAL CHORUS]**

When did I fall? When did I lose my way?
When did your name become the thing I wait all day?
I still watch my screen like there's something to find,
Knowing damn well that you're not on my mind.

When did I fall? I never meant to stay,
I barely knew you, now you're hard to erase.
You say my name, I still lose my thought,
I swear I had a life… I just forgot.

**[OUTRO]**

I met you on a Tuesday, I think,
You talked about some shit I didn't think.
I don't remember what you said that day…

I just wish
I still felt the same way.

Dark romantic 2000s grunge rock with a hypnotic, nostalgic groove. Strong distorted electric guitars, melodic bass, punchy live drums and a subtle danceable rhythm. Inspired by the atmosphere of early-2000s alternative rock, with a mysterious, slightly psychedelic feeling.

Female vocal with a clear, slightly husky and airy timbre. Intimate, close-mic and conversational in the verses, with a natural youthful tone and minimal vibrato. More powerful and emotionally raw in the choruses, with occasional subtle melismas. Do not keep the voice soft the whole time.

Include a dreamy instrumental breakdown where the drums almost disappear and distorted/reverberated guitars and bass create a floating, hypnotic feeling before exploding back into the final chorus.

Romantic but dark, raw, nostalgic and obsessive. No generic pop, no excessive autotune, no overly polished production.
