[Intro: Warm offbeat guitar skank, soft Rhodes chords, gentle bassline, 8 bars]
[Verse 1: Acoustic guitar skank, light shaker, breathy vocals]
Sunlight spills across the floor
I’ve charged my phone three times or more
Hair still damp from morning rain
But I don’t mind—I hum your name
[Pre-Chorus: Rhodes swells, subtle string pad]
Clock hands crawl like they’re tired
My lips keep curling, unretired
From this smile I can’t explain
While waiting for your voice again
[Chorus: Full reggae groove, layered harmonies, warm bass]
I’M SMILING LIKE THE SUN JUST ROSE!
Even though your line’s been closed
Every ringtone makes me freeze
Then it’s just the breeze through trees
I’M DANCING IN THIS SILENT ROOM!
With your ghost inside the tune
You don’t call—but I still glow
Like I already told you so
[Verse 2: Guitar skank, muted kick, soft clavinet]
Left your coffee cup right here
Six days since you disappeared
I water plants you never knew
And talk to them like they’re you
[Pre-Chorus: Rhodes arpeggios, rising hi-hat]
Neighbors wave and ask me why
My cheeks stay bright beneath this sky
I shrug and laugh—what can I say?
Love’s late, but it’s on its way
[Chorus: Full band, richer harmonies, syncopated snare]
I’M SMILING LIKE THE SUN JUST ROSE!
Even though your line’s been closed
Every shadow sounds like feet
Rushing down the summer street
I’M DANCING IN THIS SILENT ROOM!
With your echo in the gloom
You don’t call—but I still glow
Like I already let you know
[Bridge: Half-time groove, sparse piano, vocal intimacy]
Maybe you’re lost in traffic rain
Or forgot my number—just pretend
That tonight your voice will break
Through this quiet ache I make
[Chorus: Full reggae drop, soaring harmonies, tambourine drive]
I’M SMILING LIKE THE SUN JUST ROSE!
Even if your signal froze
I’ll keep this joy locked tight
Till your name lights up my night
I’M DANCING IN THIS EMPTY SPACE!
With your future in my face
You don’t call—but I still glow
!LIKE I ALREADY TOLD YOU SO!
[Outro: Guitar skank fades, Rhodes sustain, distant birds, 6 bars]
