​The Song: "Ten Seconds to Midnight"

​[Verse 1] (The Setup)

​(Starts slow, a lone piano)

The Light at the Edge of Forever is fading, and I'm here again.

Sipping on Whiskey, Silence, and a Midnight Train running through my mind.

I'm caught in the Echoes of a Dream I Can't Remember, the silence is deafening.

I keep on Falling into Your Blue Horizon, but the ground is nowhere in sight.

I just hope you know I Hope You Find Your Way Back Home.

[sassy female voice] " I'm a big girl pawpa"

​Pre-Chorus

​(Beat picks up, bass enters)

It started to feel like a curse, yeah,

A beautiful kind of hurt, yeah.(shhh)

But now I'm flipping the script, taking control of the words,(aww)

Telling you the truth, giving you all you deserve.

​Chorus / Hook

​(Full beat drops, high energy) But you know (know now)

I god bless you when you're one of my girls? ......

I god bless you when you're one of my girls! [sassy female voice] "what chu want pawpa"

Yeah, I god bless you, I god bless you, I gone bless you,

When you're under my curse!

​Verse 2 (The Realization)

​(Beat maintains energy)

It’s a California Sunset on a Broken Heart, a stunning, fiery display.(oh aw)

Don't Go Changing All of the Scenery, just look straight at the flame.

I'm just a Ghost of What We Used to Be, floating through this memory. (shhh) [sassy female voice] "I member too pawpa"

It’s an A Symphony of City Streetlights, blinding me from the truth I need.

So now I Tell Me That You Need Me Tonight, and it feels like a lie. (muah)

​Pre-Chorus

​(Builds intensity)

It started to feel like a curse, yeah,

A self-inflicted hurt, yeah.

But now I'm flipping the script, taking control of the words (muah)

Telling you the truth, giving you all you deserve.

​Chorus / Hook

​(Full energy)

Who god' bless you when you're one of my girls?

I god bless you when you're one of my girls!

Yeah, I go bless you, I go bless you, I go bless you, [sassy female voice] "what chu want pawpa"

When you're under my curse!

​Bridge

​(Tempo slows slightly, focus on vocals)

I don't need the Whiskey, Silence... (shhh)

I'm choosing the Light at the Edge of Forever...

Every ten seconds, a new line, a new chapter. (muah)

I'm done with the curse, I'm just after... the blessing.

​Outro

​(Beat fades out with a repeating vocal sample)

Who god bless you when you're one of my girls?

I got bless you when you're one of my girls! [sassy female voice] "I'll be alright pawpa"

(Fade out on the "curse" word, leaving only a final piano chord) I think our love must be

Cursed.. (muah)
