Indie pop ballad with a slow swaying groove, restrained kick and brushed percussion; verse keeps to sparse piano and low bass, pre-chorus opens with swelling strings and doubled vocal lines, chorus lands with wider harmonies and a plaintive lead hook. Breathy close-mic verses, fuller stacked chorus, a short vocal delay on the last word of each refrain, and a thin reverse swell into the bridge. Intimate, clear, and emotionally bare mix.
