[Intro]
[A rich, sweeping orchestral string section. It feels grand and slightly gothic.]
[Verse]
[Ethereal female vocals enter, clear and strong. A steady, cinematic drum beat and synth bass provide a modern foundation beneath the strings.]
[Chorus]
[The full orchestra and electronic beat lock in. The vocals become anthemic and soar above the epic arrangement. Grand and powerful.]
[Bridge]
[The beat drops out. The focus shifts to the voice and a dramatic string staccato.]
[Outro]
[A final, powerful chord from the full orchestra. An abrupt cut to silence.]
[Verse 1]
Bought an umbrella in July
Sky was glass
Not a cloud in sight
Cashier laughed
Said
"You’re early
Friend"
I just shrugged
Said
"Storms pretend"
[Chorus]
Leftover umbrella in July (oh-oh)
Waiting on a raindrop alibi
Carried you around like a what-if sky
Guess some things never open
Leftover umbrella in July (hey!)
All that thunder in my mind
You were the forecast I got wrong this time
But I still keep you by the door
[Verse 2]
We had coffee
You said "fine"
Eyes said more
But you drew a line
I walked home through blue and heat
Dragging shadows down the street
[Chorus]
Leftover umbrella in July (oh-oh)
Waiting on a raindrop alibi
Carried you around like a what-if sky
Guess some things never open
Leftover umbrella in July (hey!)
All that thunder in my mind
You were the forecast I got wrong this time
But I still keep you by the door
[Bridge]
Someday it’ll pour
Sidewalks swimming
Hearts unsure
I’ll step out
Still thinking your name
Dry as ever
Soaked in old flame
[Chorus]
Leftover umbrella in July (oh-oh)
Waiting on a raindrop alibi
Carried you around like a what-if sky
Guess some things never open
Leftover umbrella in July (hey!)
All that thunder in my mind
You were the forecast I got wrong this time
But I still keep you by the door
