[Verse 1]
Key in the door
Duffel on the floor
Sand in my boots
Salt in my throat
She yells
"You’re late
" from a glowing room
Headset crooked
Posters on the moon
I drop my cap on the kitchen chair
She pauses the war
Comes down the stairs
"Got noodles?" she grins like we never missed a beat
I say
"I brought the fire
You bring the cheat sheet" (hey!)
[Chorus]
Spicy ramen reunion in a chipped blue bowl
Steam on my glasses
Heart on patrol
She says
"Dad
Add more
I can take the heat"
We laugh 'til the broth burns our cheeks
This is our world
This little city of steam
Spicy ramen reunion
Tastes like every dream
[Verse 2]
Timer ticking like a distant gun
She stirs the pot
Talks about level one
"Ranked up twice while you were out at sea"
I say
"Save some wins
Leave a boss for me"
She dunks that egg like it’s mission code
Chili flakes falling like red snow
"Remember when mild used to make you cry?"
"Yeah
But I leveled up too
" she replies (oh yeah)
[Chorus]
Spicy ramen reunion in a chipped blue bowl
Steam on my glasses
Heart on patrol
She says
"Dad
Add more
I can take the heat"
We laugh 'til the broth burns our cheeks
This is our world
This little city of steam
Spicy ramen reunion
Tastes like every dream
[Bridge]
All those nights on a metal bed
Counting waves
Stuck in my head
Now it’s just her voice down the hall
"Don’t overcook it
That’s an instant fall" (hey!)
[Chorus]
Spicy ramen reunion in a chipped blue bowl
Steam on our faces
Stories unfold
She says
"Next time leave
You better bring the spice"
I say
"Next time I’ll bring double—and some extra life"
This is our world
This little city of steam
Spicy ramen reunion
Hotter than it seems
