When The Summer leaves

[Verse 1: Lazy Female Vocal]
There’s a scent of dust in the sun,
Faded flowers growing quiet.
Time, a slow-moving river—
Hands empty, pockets lined with yesterdays.
[Whispered echoes]

[Pre-Chorus: Female Husky & Male Gravelly Duet]
Did you notice how warm days linger,
Even as the windows close?
Echoes pile in corners with laughter—
Is it gone if you don’t know?

[Chorus: Both, major key, duet]
Is this just how the summer leaves?
Do we count what slips through our hands?
We catch the taste—faint, unseen.
Why does it feel like we’re chasing sand?

[Dram fill: drums slow, strings swell]

[Bridge: Male Vocal, echoed by Female]
Quiet street, the bikes leaning,
I stand—half in light, half in grey.
Was it ever as simple as meaning?
Or did you fade with the days?

[Solo: Rock guitar, mournful, blended sax riff]

[Verse 2: Female Lazy Vocal]
No more blame, just old boxes
We’re not sick with wanting back.
You wished for change, I waited,
Every scene runs past, no track.

[Pre-Chorus: Duet, whispered ad-libs]
We hold what the music shows,
I was winter, were you the heat?
Will we meet as the autumn slows?
Or spring in the summer’s retreat?

[Chorus: Both, crescendo, echoes]
Is this just how the summer leaves?
Do we count what slips through our hands?
We catch the taste—faint, unseen.
Why does it feel like we’re chasing sand?

[Breakdown: Orchestral hits, vocal improvisations, dramatic]

[Hook: Call & Response]
(Female): Am I winter if you are leaving?
(Male): Will you be spring if I stand by?
(Both): So different—watching seasons breathing.
[Solo: Guitar, sax wails, orchestra swells]
[Outro: Soft violin, echoing synth, faint duduk hum]
