[Verse 1 – Male]
Gate A23
Plastic coffee
Dead-eyed screen glow
Phone pressed to my cheek
Your sleepy voice in airport echo
“Text me when you land”
You laughed so soft
But eyes were shaking
I kissed you through the cam
Promised you the hours we were taking
[Verse 2 – Female]
You left your watch
On the dresser by your side of bed
Ticking in the dark
Like it’s mocking every word you said
I wear your hoodie
Living in the way it holds your scent
Counting down the days
Till the moment all this distance bends
[Chorus – Both]
Take the red-eye back to me
Tear my clothes like you believe
We can burn this whole house clean tonight (tonight)
Been a week of coming close
Through a screen
Through a phone
I want skin
I want sweat
I want bite
All night
All night
I want your hands saying “you’re alright”
All night
All night
Till the sunrise begs for a rewind
[Verse 3 – Male]
Taxi in the rain
City smeared across the window glass
Card key in my hand
Heart racing like I’m 17 again
Door click
Hallway hush
I see your shadow from the TV light
You’re leaning on the frame
Bare legs
My shirt
That little half-smile
[Pre-Chorus – Female]
You drop your bag
I drop my guard
You cross the room
I fall apart
Your name breaks open on my tongue (oh)
Like I’ve been holding back my lungs
[Chorus – Both]
Take the red-eye back to me
Tear my clothes like you believe
We can burn this whole house clean tonight (tonight)
Been a week of coming close
Through a screen
Through a phone
I want skin
I want sweat
I want bite
All night
All night
I want your hands saying “you’re alright”
All night
All night
Till the sunrise begs for a rewind
[Bridge – Female → Male]
[Fully stripped beat
Filtered synths]
F: Every mile you flew
I wore it like a bruise on my ribs
M: Every empty room
I painted you in every bed I slept in
F: I don’t want small talk
Tell me you were aching too
M: I’ll answer every question
With the way I’m tasting you (yeah)
[Breakdown – Both]
[Beat drops back in
Chopped vocal hits]
Say my name like you forgot it (forgot it)
Say it till the neighbors know
Pin me to that promise
Baby
Don’t you ever let me go
Say my name like you forgot it (forgot it)
Say it till your voice runs dry
Every touch a little violent
Every kiss a little high
[Chorus – Both]
Take the red-eye back to me
Tear my clothes like you believe
We can burn this whole house clean tonight (tonight)
Been a week of coming close
Through a screen
Through a phone
I want skin
I want sweat
I want bite
All night
All night
I want your hands saying “you’re alright”
All night
All night
Till the sunrise begs for a rewind
[Outro – Both]
[Beat fading
Synth arps circling]
All night
All night (stay right here)
All night
All night (you disappear)
Then come back like this
Like this
Like this tonight
