Situationship

Lyrics

[Intro - deep velvet baritone, intimate 808 rumble, vinyl crackle, whispered ad-libs]
Yeah… I still see her eyes when the lights go black
Shoulda pulled the trigger but I let her run
Now the streets got chains around both our necks
And I can’t shake the way she tastes on my tongue

[Verse 1 - mid-tempo trap-soul beat, dark piano chords, male half-sung rap]
Mika used to chase the night like it owed her rent
Short dress, long legs, every club her element
Henny in her system, brothers lined up at the bar
She’d pick the one with paper and ride him like a star
Then one wrong corner, one wrong flash of chrome
Blood on the pavement and she saw the body fold
I coulda dropped her right there, made the story clean
But something in her stare made the bullet leave the beam

[Pre-Chorus - tension build, layered harmonies, sidechained bass]
Now we both sleep with one eye cracked
Sirens in our dreams, fingers on the strap
She don’t trust a soul and I don’t blame her none
But when the lights go out we still reach for the same gun

[Chorus - anthemic R&B hook, soulful male vocals with gritty edge, full band swell]
She’s the witness I shoulda killed
The only one who ever made me feel
Caught between the trigger and the kiss
We burning every bridge just to exist
Mika, run with me or run from me
Either way this city gon’ come for we
Passion in the danger, love in the dirt
We fuck like tomorrow ain’t promised on this earth

[Verse 2 - darker 808 bounce, pitched male rap, hi-hats stuttering]
She used to wake up choosing which man to break
Now she wakes up checking if the door still locked
I used to move weight and never look back
Now I check her pulse every time she talks
We holed up in motels with the blinds taped down
Sweat on the sheets and our sins on the ground
She claws at my back like she’s scared I’ll ghost
I bite her neck and taste the fear she won’t show

[Pre-Chorus 2 - building tension, vocal chops, atmospheric synths]
Every touch is a loaded question
Every moan is a confession
We know this thing could end in cuffs or graves
But right now her body’s the only thing that saves

[Chorus - anthemic R&B hook, soulful male vocals with gritty edge, full band swell]
She’s the witness I shoulda killed
The only one who ever made me feel
Caught between the trigger and the kiss
We burning every bridge just to exist
Mika, run with me or run from me
Either way this city gon’ come for we
Passion in the danger, love in the dirt
We fuck like tomorrow ain’t promised on this earth

[Bridge - stripped, raw male falsetto over sparse guitar and low 808, vulnerable]
I done bodies that don’t let me sleep
But losing you would cut me deeper, deep
We both running out of reasons to pretend
That this ain’t something more than just the end

[Final Chorus - massive, emotional, full production, layered ad-libs]
She’s the witness I shoulda killed
The only one who ever made me feel
Caught between the trigger and the kiss
We burning every bridge just to exist
Mika, run with me or run from me
Either way this city gon’ come for we
Passion in the danger, love in the dirt
We fuck like tomorrow ain’t promised on this earth

[Outro - fading reverb-drenched vocals, distant 808 heartbeat, vinyl hiss]
Shoulda killed her… but I let her run
Now she’s the only thing I can’t outrun…
