Borrow Some Power

[Intro: pulsing synth, melodic fretless bass]

[Verse 1: intimate rhythmic baritone]
You said you're fine, but I could see
The fading charge beneath your smile
You'd been running on an empty tank
And calling every breakdown fine

So I brought dinner to your door
Took one small burden off your floor

[Pre-Chorus: ascending stacked thirds]
You don't need another speech
Just something real within my reach

[Chorus: soaring major-key harmonies]
I've got a little power left
You can borrow some of mine
We don't have to burn alone
To keep each other's worlds alive
When your batteries are fading
And the road is running long
I'll help you find your current
Till your strength comes back on

[Break: slap bass, polyrhythmic guitar]

[Bridge: half-time, fragile melody]
And when my own light starts to dim
I hope I'll let somebody in

[Final Chorus: octave lift, cathartic]
We aren't built to run forever
Without a hand along the way
We can help each other recharge
And face another day

[Outro: warm bass harmonics]
