3Shallow End

[Intro (hazy clean electric guitar, slow pentatonic melody, tape hiss warmth)] [Verse 1 (soft, conversational, effortless tone)] Hey. [sighs] I think I left my glasses by your sink. Or maybe on that blue chair in the hall. Doesn’t really matter. I’m just watching the curtains move. Barely moving, actually. [soft exhale] The tea’s gone cold, but it’s fine. The ceiling has this pattern I never noticed. Kind of looks like a map of somewhere far away. [Chorus (stay the same relaxed energy, no lift, lazy drifting)] It’s just a Tuesday, I guess. Or Wednesday now. Everything’s a bit blurry around the edges. We’re just floating in the shallow end. No rush to get out. [gentle breath] Yeah. Just staying right here. [Verse 2 (mellow, half-talking, wide spatial reverb)] Did you say something? I was thinking about that dog we saw. The one with the yellow sweater. [chuckles softly] Funny how things stick. The clouds look like unwashed wool tonight. I’m not really tired. Just... heavy. But the good kind of heavy. Like a thick blanket. [Chorus (stay the same relaxed energy, no lift, lazy drifting)] It’s just a Tuesday, I guess. Or Wednesday now. Everything’s a bit blurry around the edges. We’re just floating in the shallow end. No rush to get out. [whispered ad-lib: "no rush..."] [Bridge (minimalist, long pauses between phrases)] The moon is hiding. [low guitar slide] I’m fine with the dark. It’s quieter this way. [deep breath] Don’t get up. Stay where you are. [Instrumental (simple pentatonic solo, light tremolo, weightless feel)] [Chorus (stay the same relaxed energy, no lift, lazy drifting)] It’s just a Tuesday, I guess. Or Wednesday now. Everything’s a bit blurry around the edges. We’re just floating in the shallow end. No rush to get out.[whispers: "see ya later"] Just a memory... [sighs] Fading in. Fading out. [guitar rings out into silence]
