[Intro – rising ambient swell + distant heartbeat kick]
Mmm…
Breathe in…
Step in…
This is where it begins.
[Verse 1 – dreamy, slow build]
The night opens like a curtain drawn,
City lights blinking like they’re holding on.
I’m walking through memories I’ve outgrown,
But somehow your name still feels like home.
A whisper of you in the cold air stays,
Reminding my heart what it used to chase.
Every streetlight flickers like it knows—
I’m still learning how to let you go.
[Pre-Chorus – emotional lift, glowing chords]
But something in the dark feels new tonight,
A pulse that’s softer than the fights.
Maybe I’m ready for a different light—
Maybe I’ll heal if I let myself try.
[Chorus – big, cinematic opener]
So when the night first breathes,
I breathe with it too—
Letting go of pain that reminded me of you.
I’m stepping into something real,
Something I can finally feel—
A future that doesn’t break me in two.
When the night first breathes…
I think I can start again.
I think I can love again.
[Verse 2 – warm, romantic, hopeful]
Your shadow used to follow every step,
But now it’s fading, softer, like a silhouette.
I’m learning how to hold myself instead,
And fall in love without the dread.
The sky above is opening wide,
Moon telling secrets I no longer hide.
And if love finds me when the timing is right—
I’ll be ready to let it inside.
[Pre-Chorus]
’Cause something in this night feels strangely kind,
Like all my missing pieces realign.
Maybe the stars kept me in mind—
Maybe I needed space to shine.
[Chorus]
So when the night first breathes,
I breathe with it too—
Letting go of pain that reminded me of you.
I’m stepping into something real,
Something I can finally feel—
A future that doesn’t break me in two.
When the night first breathes…
I think I can start again.
I think I can love again.
[Bridge – floating, emotional, opening-energy]
All the hurt I carried… melts into the air,
All the lonely midnights… finally disappear.
And maybe I’m not lost—
Maybe I’m just new…
Maybe this whole time I was waiting
For a night like this to come through.
[Final Chorus – brighter, more open]
So when the night first breathes,
I breathe with it too—
Stepping into light I never knew.
I’m finding something real,
Something meant to heal—
Something soft enough to pull me through.
When the night first breathes…
That’s when I feel alive.
That’s when I come back to life.
[Outro – soft ambience, hopeful glow]
Yeah…
This is where it begins.
