When I'm Right
Anti-radio dark dream pop with post-rock dynamics: slow-burning midtempo, half-time live drums with roomy snare and deep toms, detuned analog pads, subby synth-bass with mild distortion, and chorus-soaked guitars that swell into walls of sound. Verse is minimal and intimate with breathy female vocal and close mic; chorus avoids sugary lift, turns into hypnotic chant with stacked harmonies and droning strings. Bridge blooms into thunderous crescendo, then collapses to a foggy unresolved outro.

Lyrics
Verse 1
I'm the one you love at night
'Cause you know you can send me home before the day
Seems that I'm the only one
who would carry your love with me all the way
Pre-Chorus
How can I be the only one
Who can see how our stars align?
Better than the sun, I love the moon, oh
Even though it falls, it still shines
Chorus
Don't ya hate it when I'm right? Oh
Don't ya hate it when I'm right? Oh
Don't ya hate it when I'm
Don't ya hate it when I'm right?
Chorus
Don't ya hate it when I'm right? Oh
Don't ya hate it when I'm right? Oh
Don't ya hate it when I'm
Don't ya hate it when I'm right?
Verse 2
Now you're standing at my door
But it's six months too late and you know it
With your heart out in your hand
But how can I take it if you won't open it?
Pre-Chorus
How can I be the only one
Who can see how our stars align?
Better than the sun, I love the moon, oh
Even though it falls, it still shines
Chorus
Don't ya hate it when I'm right? Oh
Don't ya hate it when I'm right? Oh
Don't ya hate it when I'm
Don't ya hate it when I'm right?
Chorus
Don't ya hate it when I'm right? Oh
Don't ya hate it when I'm right? Oh
Don't ya hate it when I'm
Don't ya hate it when I'm right?
Bridge
Hey, you tell your secrets in your safe place
Yeah, for everyone to know my name, babe
Final Chorus
'Cause then you'd have to say I'm right, oh
And it hurts to know I'm right, oh
Wanna watch me fall apart
Then piece together all my parts
Outro
'Cause don't ya hate it when I'm right? Oh
