:)ustin - Meet Me at Moonset (Day Party)

can you see...lady with my heart on her sleeve...

Care Free Girl

[Verse 1]
You came ‘round in the morning like you didn’t disappear
Left lipstick on the counter and regret in my mirror
You say, “It’s complicated,” like that’s news to me
But I’ve been solving puzzles since you lost your key

[Pre-Chorus]
I poured my love in your half-empty glass
Watched you sip it slow, then let it pass
You said you’re scared to feel too much
So why’d you come back for that midnight touch?

[Chorus]
I can’t keep loving with half a heart
While you keep pulling mine apart
You're in, then gone, like a ghost at dark
Boy, I need a flame, not just a spark
If you can't stay, then don't even start—
I ain't playing house with half a heart

[Verse 2]
Your records still spin like nothing’s wrong
But the silence between the songs is long
You wear that charm like it don’t cost a thing
But darling, lies ain't gold, they just glitter and sting

[Pre-Chorus]
Told your mama I was just a phase
She said I deserved a better place
You keep your truth behind your smile
But I’ve been wise to that for a while

[Chorus]
I can’t keep loving with half a heart
While you keep pulling mine apart
You're in, then gone, like a ghost at dark
Boy, I need a flame, not just a spark
If you can't stay, then don't even start—
I ain't playing house with half a heart

[Bridge – spoken/sung style]
I’d rather dance alone in my red suede shoes
Than share my bed with your shifting moods
Don’t need your maybe, I want your more
But I ain’t beggin’ like I did before

[Final Chorus – soft at first, builds up]
No, I can’t keep loving with half a heart
You’re a haunted tune in a broken chart
I’m done with the guessing, done with the art
Of holding together what falls apart
So take your silence, take your part—
And leave me whole, with my full heart

half a heart

Sugar & Steam is a steamy, lo-fi blend of neo-soul, R&B, and soft rap - a playful vignette of flirtation told through the ritual of coffee. Warm vocals drift between melody and conversational flow, layered over hazy jazz-hop textures and downtempo beats. Coffeehouse details (names misspelled, foam surprises, saved corners) become metaphors for touch, ritual, and desire.

Intimate yet groove-driven, this track feels like a whispered conversation stretched into rhythm: sensual, ritualistic, and irresistibly smooth.

(Overall Mood and Concept)
Sugar & Steam is a flirtatious, atmospheric track that lives at the edge of neo-soul, lo-fi R&B, and soft rap. The piece takes the ritual of a morning coffee and turns it into a sensual metaphor, weaving steam, spice, and routine into imagery of desire, intimacy, and repetition. It’s playful yet magnetic- a café vignette stretched into ritual, where every glance and every pour holds more meaning than the cup itself.

(Vocal Approach)
The vocals carry the duality of intimacy and swagger. The sung lines are warm and smooth, evoking a slow-brew soulfulness, while the spoken and soft rap sections add conversational immediacy. That blend gives the track its modern edge: it feels sung and confided at the same time, a mixture of lo-fi croon and bedroom confessional with rhythmic cadence.

(Lyrics & Poetics)
The lyrics are highly sensual without being explicit, “sugar in my coffee, steam across my skin” sets up a tactile metaphor that is extended playfully throughout. Everyday coffee-shop details (names misspelled, tips, foam, corners saved) become a ritualized language of attraction. The repetition of “Save that corner for me” near the end drives home that what seems casual is actually charged with longing and dependence.


[LYRICS]

Mmm…
You already know how I take it.
No cream, no sugar- just you…

Sugar in my coffee,
Steam across my skin.
Every pour you give me
Pulls the warmth from deep within.

Spice beneath the surface,
Drip that slow routine
You don’t ask if I want sweet,
You just serve it sugar & steam.

Your hands on the cup like you mean more.
Names misspelled, but I still score.
You lean on the counter, watch me flinch
One wink, and I lose my common sense.

Shots pull slow, you draw 'em long
Bitterness right, but your touch? Strong.
Every glance says stay, every smile says sip,
And I’m caught in that swirl from your morning script.

You stir slow like you know what it does…
Lookin’ like Sunday morning in a Monday rush…

Told me once it’s just coffee

Mm, lies.

I tip in exact, but you hand back change
Say it’s for luck, or to mess with my brain.
You ask if I want foam
I say surprise me…
And you do, with that look, that touch, precisely.

This ain’t no café thing- it’s ritual now.
I crave that steam more than I’d allow.
A thousand drinks, none hit like this!
Whatever you’re brewin’, it brews with bliss.

Sugar in my coffee,
Steam that makes me stay.
You press the morning into me
In a bold and crooked way.

Cinnamon on top now,
Dreams beneath the cream
No need to sweeten nothin’,
You already got the steam.

Save that corner for me.
Save that corner for me.
Save that corner for me.

Tomorrow same time… right?

Sugar & Steam – Contemporary R&B, Neo-Soul, and a touch of Retro Soul served slow and warm.

I'm afraid...

A soulful, retro pop track with Southern flair and a touch of gospel grit, The vocals are sultry, confident, and rich with vintage character, telling a story of forbidden charm and youthful longing.

Honey, My Mercy’s in Short Supply

Verse 1
You came knockin’ with that same old plea,
Tears on your tongue, but they don’t fool me.
I’m not the saint you think I’ll be tonight,
I’ll take your sin, but I won’t play nice.

Pre-Chorus
Don’t mistake my kiss for a lullaby,
Every touch I give comes with a price.

Chorus
Honey, my mercy’s in short supply,
Don’t ask for heaven when I deal in lies.
You want redemption, baby, don’t look mine,
Honey, my mercy’s in short supply.

Verse 2
You call it love, but it feels like debt,
Every promise you made still drippin’ wet.
I don’t forgive, no, I just enjoy,
Breaking your heart like it’s my favorite toy.

Pre-Chorus
Don’t mistake my smile for sympathy,
Every tear you shed just belongs to me.

Chorus
Honey, my mercy’s in short supply,
Don’t ask for heaven when I deal in lies.
You want salvation, baby, stand in line,
Honey, my mercy’s in short supply.

Bridge
I’ll give you one kiss, two drinks, three sins,
By the time you crawl, I’ll be gone again.
Don’t pray for kindness, don’t beg me sweet,
I’m the devil you love at your holy feet.

Final Chorus
Honey, my mercy’s in short supply,
Don’t ask for heaven when I deal in lies.
Your prayers don’t matter, I don’t oblige,
Honey, my mercy’s in short supply.

Outro (smoky ad-lib)
Short supply… short supply…
Mercy, baby, mercy runs dry.
