Out the window

[Catchy Intro]
[synthesizer echo, thick bass]
(Oh, oh – ha)
Breathing in the slow collapse, oh –
Faded hands on window glass

[Slow Sad Interlude]
[duduk, violin, afrobeat guitar]
Summer sweats drift down the wall,
Door half-open, hallway calls.

[Verse 1 – Female, lazy husky]
August’s packing bags in my room,
Curtains still, air humming low.
I kick off sandals, trace dust patterns,
Don’t know why you haven’t shown.

Warmth leaking under the door,
Bass all off-beat, feet on the floor.
(lazy pause – “la, la, la”)

[Verse 2 – Male, smooth detached]
Windows blurred out with rain,
Chilled rewind on the frame,
Static on the backbeat, fading in time,
Glances left like old T-shirts, frayed lines.

Steal a slow breath, afternoon gone,
You in the next room, humming along.
“la, la, oh”

[Pre-Chorus – Harmony, soft]
All this waiting for nothing,
Heartbeat caught on delay.
Echoes hanging between us,
Saying less is the new way.

[Chorus – Duet]
Out the window, everything’s slipping,
No one running, just skipping
songs on the radio, hands out, letting go—
If you say you remember, I’ll never know.
Out the window, time’s on mute –
Colors dull, but my mind won’t shoot
the shot—just drifting, losing the line.
We pass by in half the time. (hey-oh)

[Verse 3 – Female, more urgent, echo]
Sheets on the floor, light barely blue,
Laugh lines stuck to the ceiling glue.
Feet on the heater, back on the phone—
If you’re leaving, leave slow.

[Bridge – Both, dynamic climb]
Calling out half-hearted – (oh, stay)
Caught in the hush, can’t look away,
Fast words, slow fade,
August drifting out the window pane.

[Vocal Solo/Improvisation – Female, echo]
(Oh – oh, oh, oh –)
La, la, la, letting, letting—go-oh—

[Chorus – Duet, louder]
Out the window, everything’s slipping,
No one running, just skipping
Songs on the radio, hands out, letting go—
If you say you remember, I’ll never know.
Out the window, time’s on mute—
Colors dull, but my mind won’t shoot
The shot—just drifting, losing the line.
We pass by in half the time. (la, la, la—oh)

[Outro – Slow, husky, layered harmonies]
[echoes, beat fades, guitar rings]
Gone before I even called your name
Out the window—just the same.
