Emotional guitar-driven pop rock inspired by guitar-driven pop rock, emotional with subtle melodic pop, soulful melodic sensibility. 100 BPM, minor key. No piano. Clean but expressive electric guitar is the main voice — warm tube tone, slightly gritty, dynamic picking, very present in the mix. Verses driven by rhythmic guitar and melodic bass with tight, restrained live drums (no stadium feel, no huge reverbs). Pre-chorus builds with light backing harmonies. Chorus opens up but stays intimate and groovy, not arena-sized. Lead guitar is soulful and organic, blues-influenced, touch-sensitive — not overly processed or glossy. Outro features emotional melodic guitar solo with natural amp tone, raw and human. Mood: mature heartbreak, grounded, intense but controlled.

Lyrics
Verse 1
You were lightning in a downtown bar
Burning holes through my guarded heart
Said forever like it meant something
Like a promise carved in gold
I was leaning where your shadow fell
Every story that you chose to tell
You were dancing on a wire
I was already sold
Pre-Chorus
I gave you every door wide open
Every word I never said
You were looking for a moment
I was looking for a life instead
Chorus
Now I’m standing out of your fire
Hands still shaking from the heat
You were taking me higher and higher
Just to drop me at your feet
I was drowning in desire
You were barely breaking sweat
Now I’m standing out of your fire
Trying to love what’s left
Verse 2
You were velvet with a hidden blade
Every kiss had a price to pay
I kept calling it devotion
You were calling it a game
Now the silence hits a little clean
Like a truth washing gasoline
Guess I finally see
We were never burning the same
Pre-Chorus
I was building something steady
You were chasing after sparks
You just wanted to feel wanted
I was giving you my heart
Chorus
Now I’m standing out of your fire
Hands still shaking from the heat
You were taking me higher and higher
Just to drop me at your feet
I was drowning in desire
You were barely breaking sweat
Now I’m standing out of your fire
Trying to love what’s left
Bridge (Breakdown – piano/Rhodes led)
Maybe I mistook the danger
For a kind of destiny
Maybe I was just addicted
To who I thought you’d be
But I won’t go back to ashes
Just to feel your flame again
I’d rather stand here in the cold
Than disappear in you like then
Final Chorus (bigger, stacked harmonies)
Now I’m standing out of your fire
And it’s colder than I knew
But I’d rather feel the quiet
Than keep burning down for you
You were love without the anchor
I was all in from the start
Now I’m standing out of your fire
With the smoke inside my heart
Outro (Guitar solo section – repeat hook line under adlibs)
Standing out of your fire…
Out of your fire…
(“Higher and higher…”)
Out of your fire…
