1.Day Without You-nr.1-Latin
Bossa nova and Latin jazz fusion. Nylon-string acoustic guitar plays syncopated fingerstyle patterns with frequent jazz extensions. A clean electric guitar performs melodic leads with a slight chorus effect and subtle vibrato. The percussion consists of a shaker playing steady sixteenth notes and a woodblock accenting the off-beats. An upright bass provides a melodic, walking counterpoint. The tempo is 124 BPM in 4/4 time, centered in the key of A minor. The arrangement features a call-and-response dynamic between the acoustic rhythm and the electric lead, with the electric guitar utilizing slides and hammer-ons during the solo sections.

Lyrics
Verse 1
Coffee’s getting cold on the table
Phone face down
I keep staring anyway
Checking every sound like it’s you
Guess I’m wired that way
Left your sweater hung on my chair
Still smells like your cheap perfume
I talk out loud like you’re here
In this quiet room
Chorus
I can’t stand a day without you
Every little thing feels wrong
All the hours move in slow motion
Like the clocks forgot the song
I can laugh
I can fake my way through
But it all just falls straight through
I can’t stand a day
Can’t stand a day without you
Verse 2
Friends keep asking how I’ve been lately
I change the subject
Say I’m fine
But your name sits sharp on my tongue
Like a secret line
I pass the bus stop where you kissed me
Eyes closed
I still see the scene
Your hand in mine
Then you letting go
Like it was just a dream
Chorus
I can’t stand a day without you
Every little thing feels wrong
All the hours move in slow motion
Like the clocks forgot the song
I can laugh
I can fake my way through
But it all just falls straight through
I can’t stand a day
Can’t stand a day without you
Bridge
Tell me this is just a phase
Just a long
Long night
Say the word and I’ll be there
Running every red light (oh)
If there’s a way back to you
I’ll take every wrong and make it right
Chorus
I can’t stand a day without you
Every little thing feels wrong
All the hours move in slow motion
Like the clocks forgot the song
I can laugh
I can fake my way through
But it all just falls straight through
I can’t stand a day
Can’t stand a day without you
Can’t stand a day
Can’t stand a day without you
