How did I get you?
Create an original alternative R&B / neo-soul ballad with warm analog textures, intimate vocals, and emotionally vulnerable songwriting. The song should feel like a late-night confession from someone overwhelmed by being loved by a person they feel they do not deserve. Themes revolve around romantic disbelief, quiet gratitude, emotional surrender, sensual intimacy, and fear of losing something sacred. Production should feature soft electric piano, ambient guitar swells, subtle bass, feather-light drums, layered falsetto harmonies, room reverb, breath texture, and slow behind-the-beat grooves that create a floating emotional atmosphere.

Lyrics
Verse 1
Lamp light dancin’ on your skin
Whole room fade when you pull me in
Your name fall soft on my tongue
Like a prayer I never sung
Windows cryin’ from the rain
Your shadow melt into my veins
Still don’t know what heaven did
To let me hold a love like this
Pre-Chorus
If this a dream
Don’t wake me yet
I’m still learnin’
How to be kept
Chorus
How did I get you?
Out of the millions
Right in my arms
Like answered religion
Heartbeat slow
World movin’ blue
Baby, how did I get you?
How did I get you?
Skin close to mine
Your eyes make the dark feel alive
One touch and the whole night moves
Baby, how did I get you?
Verse 2
Ashtray smoke and lavender
Your quiet kiss still linger there
You look at me like I’m enough
That kinda love feels dangerous
Every second got me scared
Beauty this deep disappear
So I hold you like the moon
Hold the last light before noon
Pre-Chorus 2
If you let go
I lose my way
Your voice the only thing
That make me stay
I been broken
Black and blue
Then God got quiet
And sent me you
Chorus 2
How did I get you?
After the ruin
After the nights
My heart stopped movin’
Now every scar
Lead me to you
Baby, how did I get you?
How did I get you?
Warm in the dark
You turned my ribs into a spark
Now even silence feels brand new
Baby, how did I get you?
Bridge
If tomorrow steals the air
Promise me you’ll still be there
Even silence sounds brand new
Every time I turn to you
Final Chorus
How did I get you?
Heaven went careless
Dropped an angel inside my loneliness
Now every wound I hid cuts through
Baby, how did I get you?
How did I get you?
Still can’t explain
Why your love fall down like rain
All my life led me to you
Baby, how did I get you?
Outro
Stay right here
Till the city lose its light
Till the morning blur the sky
Till my name fade in your eyes
Slow heartbeat
Hands tangled in the blue
If this world takes everything
Let me keep you
Let me keep you
