Lyrics
[INTRO – phone call open]
[[SFX: distant phone ringing x3, slightly muffled, steady interval, soft room tone]]
[[SFX: 0.8 sec pause]]
[[SFX: call connect tone, low bandwidth phone filter, faint static, narrow 300–3kHz feel]]
[[vocal: female, phone-filtered, soft husky, low register, whispered, intimate, dry]]
…yeah.
I heard you.
……
yeah.
ok.
thanks.
[[SFX: call disconnect tone, subtle click]]
[[SFX: 0.7 sec near silence]]
[[vocal: female, soft husky, low register, whispered, slight nasal, breathy, dry, slightly off-pitch]]
OK…
THANKS.
TO BE HONEST…
I DIDN’T LEAVE
I JUST STAYED STILL
[[SFX: low analog radio fuzz fades in, soft hiss, subtle distortion]]
[VERSE 1]
[[vocal: female, soft husky, conversational, dry, low register, intimate]]
OK…
THANKS. TO BE HONEST
I HEARD YOU
LET IT PASS
YOUR SHADOW CROSSED THE ROOM
LIKE IT KNEW
WHERE TO GO
I STAYED STILL
THAT’S ALL
[[SFX: faint radio texture, uneven timing]]
[PRE-CHORUS]
[[vocal: female, restrained, close mic, low energy, breath audible]]
NO SIGNALS
NO EXPLANATION
TIMING
SLIGHTLY OFF
OK…
THANKS.
I DIDN’T FIX IT
ON PURPOSE
[[SFX: subtle distortion swell, then pull back]]
[CHORUS]
[[vocal: female, soft husky, flat delivery, intimate, slightly wider stereo]]
OK…
THANKS. TO BE HONEST
TOUCH, THEN GONE
OK…
THANKS. TO BE HONEST
SAY LESS, MOVE ON
OK…
THANKS.
HALF TRUE
HALF HABIT
OK…
THANKS. TO BE HONEST
MINE TO KEEP
[[SFX: radio texture slightly wider, low volume]]
[VERSE 2]
[[vocal: female, half-spoken, centered, dry, breath close]]
NO CALLS
NO FOLLOW-UP
BUT YOU LINGER
SOMEWHERE NEAR
I NOTICED
DIDN’T REACT
THAT’S NOT DISTANCE
THAT’S CONTROL
[[SFX: faint hiss, unstable tape feel]]
[BRIDGE]
[[vocal: female, spoken, fragmented, very close, breath audible]]
OK…
THANKS…
TO BE HONEST…
IF I SAID MORE
IT WOULD MEAN LESS
[[SFX: radio texture drops thinner]]
[[SFX: 1 beat complete silence]]
[FINAL CHORUS / OUTRO]
[[vocal: female, soft husky, low register, intimate, fading]]
CLOSE ENOUGH
NOT CLOSE
OK…
THANKS…
OK…
THANKS…
OK…
THANKS… TO BE HONEST
…not close
[[SFX: analog radio fuzz thins out, soft hiss, uneven fade, slow decay]]
[[SFX: distant phone ringing x3, slightly muffled, steady interval, soft room tone]]
[[SFX: 0.8 sec pause]]
[[SFX: call connect tone, low bandwidth phone filter, faint static, narrow 300–3kHz feel]]
