The guitar starts moving before the song explains itself, tight and warm, already keeping the body in line.

When the voice arrives, it does not open the song outward. It settles into the motion already underneath it.

The first refrain turns the repetition into pressure: the question rises, but the grid gets tighter.

The verse returns as continuation, not reset. The same forward pattern now carries the weight of what the refrain exposed.

After the repeated stay question, the arrangement loosens its grip, but the pulse is still legible underneath.

This is the turn: the question stops pointing outward and comes back toward the singer.

With me at the center of the line, the hook is no longer just returning. It is closing in.

The final stay question keeps the motor running right up to the place where the song can no longer hold it.
