[Verse]
Love hit me harder than a kick drum pounding,
Echo in my chest 'til my heart’s confounding.
City lights dimmed, but you stayed glowing,
Concrete rose, through the cracks, still growing.
[Chorus]
First love scratched on the vinyl of my soul,
Turntable spinning, but I can't control.
Carved in my ribs, a graffiti tag so deep,
You the melody I hum when I can't sleep.
[Bridge]
Piano keys clash with the sound of sirens,
Steel strings scream with a city's defiance.
Heartbreak chords hit harder than the bass,
Your ghost dancing in a crowded, empty space.
[Verse 2]
Wind through Chi-town, howling your name,
Every block a reminder, can’t escape the game.
Drums in the gutters, the rhythm of my agony,
You were my hymn; now, you're my tragedy.
[Chorus]
First love scratched on the vinyl of my soul,
Turntable spinning, but I can't control.
Carved in my ribs, a graffiti tag so deep,
You the melody I hum when I can't sleep.
[Outro]
Metal strings cut, but they still sing,
Your memory echoes like a churchbell ring.
Techno hum as the skyline fades to blue,
First love eternal, the city’s song, it’s you.
