Her Last Sunset
The last few hours of somebody's week down here, spent watching the pelicans.
C major144 BPM4/45:28golden-hourhigh confidence
Verse 1
Suitcase open on the bedroom floor
Phone chargers gathered, sunscreen sealed and stored
Plane leaves at six, she's gotta be at four
But there's still a couple hours before all that
We walked down to where the pelicans go
Sat in the sand where the tide hits soft and slow
Didn't say much, didn't need to anymore
This was always how this was gonna go
Pre-Chorus
A week ain't long enough to lose your mind
But it's too long to call it nothing kind
Chorus
Her last sunset, gold against the gray
She said "I'll text you" — that's what people say
Some week you don't forget, some you don't keep
I just leaned back and watched the sun retreat
Her last sunset, sky lit up like glass
Knowin' there's a flight that puts this all in past
No big speech, no big reason why
Just her last sunset and a little goodbye
Verse 2
Met her down at Lido on a Tuesday morning
Coffee shop line, she was wearin' a Tennessee hoodie
Asked her where she was from, she laughed and said
"Somewhere with snow" — and that was about it
Six days went fast and a week went faster
Got a few photos, didn't ask for after
Could've been more, could've been nothin' too
What it was was true
Pre-Chorus
Some good things just aren't meant to last
That don't mean they weren't real where they passed
Chorus
Her last sunset, gold against the gray
She said "I'll text you" — that's what people say
Some week you don't forget, some you don't keep
I just leaned back and watched the sun retreat
Her last sunset, sky lit up like glass
Knowin' there's a flight that puts this all in past
No big speech, no big reason why
Just her last sunset and a little goodbye
Bridge
I'll probably hear from her come Christmas time
Some "hope you're doing well" out of nowhere line
And I'll smile, and I'll mean it, and I'll let it be
Some people leave more than they take with them, see
Final Chorus
Her last sunset, gold against the night
She squeezed my arm, said "thanks for the time"
Walked back up the path, didn't turn around
Some endings don't make a sound
Her last sunset, fading in the haze
Whole damn week wrapped up in one gaze
No big speech, no big reason why
Just her last sunset and a little goodbye
Outro
Just her last sunset...
Just a little goodbye

Raw note map (experimental)
This is the unfiltered pitch detection across the whole mix — vocals, bass and drums included — mapped onto a fretboard. It is not a playable arrangement and no one should try to read it as one. It is here only because it is the raw material everything else was built from.
Download note mapA lead sheet, not a full score. The melody line has been reduced automatically from the recording and paired with the detected chords. Expect the shape of the tune to be right and the details to be approximate.
