[Intro – soft piano, distant echoes, slow ambient synth]
(Oh… oh…)
Midnight shadows on the ceiling
City lights through broken blinds
Somewhere between losing myself
And trying to survive
Your voice still drifts like smoke
Through every corner of my mind
And even after all this time
I still can’t say goodbye
⸻
[Verse 1 – gentle piano, low kick drum enters]
There’s a light in the hallway
Flickering gold at 2 a.m.
Dust on the pictures, scars on the mirrors
Ghosts of who we might’ve been
You said, “Nothing lasts forever”
Like it was already gone
But the moon kept hanging over us
Like it knew that we were wrong
Your jacket’s hanging by the doorway
Like you’re walking back tonight
And every little thing around me
Still feels wrapped inside your light
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – rising strings, heartbeat-style drums]
Every city sleeps eventually
But my heart still runs your streets
Like a wildfire underneath the concrete
And every dream still echoes
Like your footsteps in the rain
No matter how far I run
I still hear your name
⸻
[Chorus – cinematic drums, emotional vocals, electric guitar swell]
Oh—
We were thunder in the silence
Lightning with nowhere to go
Two broken satellites colliding
Just to feel less alone
And if the world forgets our story
If the stars all fade to gray
I’ll still remember the night
When the sky learned your name
Oh—
Even when the seasons change us
Even when the years erase
Every scar and every heartbeat
Still carries your trace
⸻
[Verse 2 – softer instrumental, atmospheric guitar]
We were kids with heavy shadows
Trying to outrun the dark
Writing dreams inside our notebooks
Like prayers without a god
You danced barefoot in the kitchen
With the storm outside the door
And for a second I believed
Heaven could exist on earth
We drove nowhere past midnight
With the windows open wide
Singing songs we barely knew
Like we could outrun time
⸻
[Bridge – stripped piano, emotional vocal layering]
Maybe somewhere in another lifetime
We’re still dancing in the kitchen light
Still laughing like the world can’t touch us
Still holding on through every night
So if you hear this in another lifetime
If another version of us survives
Tell me we made it out alive
Tell me the fire never died
⸻
[Final Chorus – full cinematic production, powerful drums, soaring guitar]
Oh—
We were louder than the oceans
Brighter than the summer flames
Even time stood still around us
Every heartbeat screamed your name
And when my last breath disappears
Like ashes in the rain
I’ll still remember the night
When the sky learned your name
⸻
[Outro – fading piano, soft rain ambience, whispered harmonies]
(Softly)
There’s a light in the hallway
Still flickering gold
And somewhere in the silence
I still feel your soul
(Whispered)
The sky learned your name…
