Beacon Bright

[Verse 1]
Lost in the haze of late-night glow
Running past trains I’ll never know
Taxi doors slam
Echo in my chest
Crosswalk counting down
I’m a quiet mess
[Pre-Chorus]
Thought I’d drown in all this noise
Plastic smiles
Temporary joys
Then you turned
And caught my eyes
Like blue in a concrete sky
[Chorus]
Your smile stays
A beacon bright
Cutting through this crooked night
I was chasing ghosts and neon signs
Till you lit up my crooked mind
Your smile stays when the colors bleed
Pulling me back where I can breathe
In a world that burns then fades from sight
Your smile stays
A beacon bright
[Verse 2]
Corner bar hums
Glasses shake
Spilled my heart in a bathroom break
Wrote your name on a paper cup
Folded it twice
Couldn’t tear it up
[Pre-Chorus]
Every scar
Every sideways glance
Turns to soft gold when you laugh
All my wrong turns
Dead-end streets
Fall away when our eyes meet (oh)
[Chorus]
Your smile stays
A beacon bright
Cutting through this crooked night
I was chasing ghosts and neon signs
Till you lit up my crooked mind
Your smile stays when the colors bleed
Pulling me back where I can breathe
In a world that burns then fades from sight
Your smile stays
A beacon bright
[Bridge]
Spinning on the sidewalk
Shoes undone (hey!)
Streetlight flicker
We still run
If the whole town dims at two a.m
I’ll still find my way to you again
[Chorus]
Your smile stays
A beacon bright
Cutting through this crooked night
I was chasing ghosts and neon signs
Till you lit up my crooked mind
Your smile stays when the colors bleed
Pulling me back where I can breathe
In a world that burns then fades from sight
Your smile stays
Your smile stays
Your smile stays
A beacon bright

pop, Indie pop with a bluesy edge, female vocals. Clean electric guitar riff over a tight four-on-the-floor kick and warm bass. Verses keep it moody with sparse keys and subtle backing oohs; chorus bursts open with shimmering synths, stacked harmonies, and a slightly gritty lead vocal. Mid-song breakdown strips to claps, bass, and vocal ad-libs before a final, higher-energy chorus., bright, blues, indie pop, female vocals
