(Rhythm: Slow, pulsing 6/8 time /ONE-two-three FOUR-five-six)
(Style: Dark atmospheric indie rock / dream pop / gothic ambient love song, drunk in love atmosphere,
Male vocal. Breathless, fragile, hopeless, intimate.
The song feels like walking through thick fog at night while following fireflies near a black river.
Themes: drowning love, emotional exhaustion, devotion, disappearing into someone, quiet heartbreak.
Mood: hypnotic, melancholic, cinematic, slow-burning, soft but emotionally heavy.
No aggressive energy. No bright pop feeling. No happy resolution.
Tempo: 70 BPM
Time Signature: 6/8
Key: D minor or C# minor)
(Verse 1)
Summer air inside the car
Your hand brushing against mine
Streetlights sliding over us
Gold flickering in your eyes
I was fine a moment ago
Now my heartbeat won’t sit still
You lean close to say my name
And the whole night starts to spin
(Chorus)
Headlights
All at once
Your love hit me like a flood
Headlights
White and gold
Now I don’t know where to go
You move near
I come undone
Like my body forgot how to run
(Verse 2)
Music low, the windows down
Warm wind moving through your hair
You laugh softly in the dark
And suddenly you’re everywhere
Every word feels dangerous
Every touch feels way too much
I keep staring at your lips
Trying not to fall in love
(Bridge)
Maybe this is how it starts
Fast heartbeat, blurred lines
One look across the seat
And suddenly you’re mine
(Final Chorus)
Headlights
Late-night blur
Now your voice is all I hear
Headlights
Hold me close
I think I’m too far gone now
