[Intro – whispered, pitched-down]
Yeah… leaves hit the ground, but I’m still high…
Fall in my veins, baby, fall in my veins…
[Verse 1]
City lights bleed through the fogged-up glass
Your lipstick on the rim of my coffee, black
We left the party when the playlist died
Now it’s just red wine and the neon sky
You pull my coat like it’s your lifeline
Cold fingers trace the frost on my spine
[Pre-Chorus]
Streetlights flicker like a strobe in slow-mo
Every breath we take turns white, then lets go
I taste the season on your tongue—cinnamon smoke
We’re too far gone to call this a joke
[Chorus – glossy 808s, detuned synth]
Fallin’ in the crimson after hours
Your silhouette drippin’ off the tower
Harvest moon got us both devoured
We’re burnin’ slow in the crimson after hours
(Ooh-ooh) After hours… (ooh-ooh) crimson glow…
[Verse 2]
Dashboard glow, 3 a.m. radio
You kick your boots off, let the leather show
We’re parked on the edge where the cornfields end
Hands under flannel, no need to pretend
You say “winter’s comin’,” I say “let it wait”
We’ve got one more night before the frost seals fate
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Windshield drips like the tears we don’t cry
Your heartbeat syncs with the bassline vibe
I pull you closer, let the silence lie
We’re ghosts in the fog, but we’re still alive
[Chorus – thicker, add trap hi-hats]
Fallin’ in the crimson after hours
Your silhouette drippin’ off the tower
Harvest moon got us both devoured
We’re burnin’ slow in the crimson after hours
(Ooh-ooh) After hours… (ooh-ooh) let it glow…
[Bridge – half-time, vocoder layers]
Let the leaves keep fallin’, let the cold creep in
I’ll trade forever for the shape you’re in
Every scarlett shadow on the pavement sings
“Stay right here—don’t let the morning win”
[Final Chorus – key up, full synth wall]
FALLIN’ IN THE CRIMSON AFTER HOURS!
Your name in my throat like a broken vow, girl
Harvest moon watchin’ us come undone
We’re infinite haze in the crimson after hours
(Ooh-ooh) After hours… (ooh-ooh) never let go…
[Outro – reverb tail, distant sirens]
Leaves on the ground… but we’re still high…
Crimson after hours… you and I…
