I Just Wanna Be

[Verse 1]
I left my coat beside the door
And watched the hallway lose its shape
I tried to say what hurt the most
But every word arrived too late

[Pre-Chorus]
If I call out, will you hear me?
If I fall, will you stay near?
I’ve been holding on so tightly
I can barely feel my hands

[Chorus]
You leave your man across the floor
Even when I’m inside you, there’s no way to hide
Even when you’re quiet, God, please come help me
I’m tired in the Anderson section door
Where you go, and I’m tired of this so low
So just bring me back to my world
’Cause I just wanted to see it
I just wanna be

[Verse 2]
The room keeps turning into somewhere
I don’t remember how to reach
I count the cracks along the ceiling
Like they might spell out what I need

[Pre-Chorus]
If I call out, will you hear me?
If I fall, will you stay near?
I’ve been trying to be steady
While the ground keeps disappearing

[Chorus]
You leave your man across the floor
Even when I’m inside you, there’s no way to hide
Even when you’re quiet, God, please come help me
I’m tired in the Anderson section door
Where you go, and I’m tired of this so low
So just bring me back to my world
’Cause I just wanted to see it
I just wanna be

[Bridge]
I just want to be in my mind
Don’t tell me that I’m losing my mind
Not again this time
Don’t tell me that I’m losing your life
I just wanna be here for you
For me, for there, to it
Let me find one honest breath
Let me stand where I can feel

[Final Chorus]
You leave your man across the floor
Even when I’m inside you, there’s no way to hide
Even when you’re quiet, God, please come help me
I’m tired in the Anderson section door
Where you go, and I’m tired of this so low
So just bring me back to my world
’Cause I just wanted to see it
I just wanna be
I just wanna be here for you
For me, for there, to it

[Outro]
I just wanna be
Bring me back to my world
I just wanna be

Intimate alternative pop ballad with a restrained, pulsing mid-tempo groove; begin with close-miked felt piano and soft low synth, add muted kick and brushed percussion in the first chorus, then layered bass and widening strings for the final chorus. Vulnerable, breathy lead vocal with clear diction, slightly rough edges, and held notes at emotional peaks. Keep the verses sparse, build steadily through the bridge, and end with a stripped piano tail; warm, spacious mix with controlled dynamics.
