(Intro – warbled synth chord + muted snare)
Echoed, distant: Click… flash… gone…
(Verse 1)
Found you in the drawer, edges curled and torn
Smiling like the summer we swore would never mourn
Colors bleeding out, but your eyes still burn through
I hold it to the light, like it’ll bring me back to you
(Pre-Chorus – airy pad drift)
Every pixel’s a pulse, every fade is a sigh
I keep pressing rewind, but the tape won’t comply
(Chorus – fragile, reverb-soaked)
You’re a faded Polaroid in my shaking hands
Dreamy nights we lost in the shifting sands
Trap beat counting echoes where your voice used to be
I’m stuck in the frame of a love that’s history
(Verse 2)
Your laugh’s in the static, crackling through the grain
I play it on the speaker till it drives me insane
Room smells like old film and the ghost of your perfume
I dance with the shadow you left in the gloom
(Pre-Chorus – synths waver)
The flash is long dead, but the ache stays lit
I develop the dark just to relive it
(Chorus – layered, aching falsetto)
You’re a faded Polaroid in my shaking hands
Dreamy nights we lost in the shifting sands
Trap beat counting echoes where your voice used to be
I’m stuck in the frame of a love that’s history
(Bridge – stripped, just voice + detuned piano)
Soft, broken: If I shake it enough… will you reappear?
Echo: Appear… appear…
Trap beat returns: Or am I just developing tears?
(Final Chorus – bare, almost whispered)
You’re a faded Polaroid, and I can’t let go
Colors turning gray in the afterglow
One last look, then I’ll tuck you away
But every night I’ll pull you out… and pray
(Outro – single synth note + fading hiss)
Whispered: Click… flash…
Silence.
