[INTRO — dark synths, distant traffic]
[slow pulsing bass]
[Spoken]
“You’ve been acting different lately…”
[VERSE 1]
Late nights under purple skies
You stopped looking in my eyes
Phone face down when I walked in
Like I don’t know where you’ve been
City lights blur in the rain
We drive silent through the pain
Windows fogged, nowhere to go
Funny how strangers get so close
[PRE-CHORUS]
We were burning bright
Now we barely glow
Somewhere in the night
I started losing you
[synth build]
[CHORUS — heavy drums, emotional synths]
We’re just neon ghosts
Dancing in the afterglow
Holding onto moments
That already let us go
Your shadow next to mine
But you feel so far away
We’re just neon ghosts
Fading into yesterday
[POST-CHORUS — airy vocals]
Oh-oh
Lost inside the city lights
Oh-oh
Love disappears overnight
[VERSE 2 — softer instrumental]
Empty bottles in the sink
Too exhausted now to think
Your hoodie hanging by the door
Feels like us anymore
Summer slipping through our hands
Like waves washing over sand
Tried to hold onto the rush
But forever was too much
[PRE-CHORUS]
Every promise starts to rust
When two people lose their trust
[rising synths]
[CHORUS — bigger harmonies]
We’re just neon ghosts
Dancing in the afterglow
Holding onto moments
That already let us go
Your shadow next to mine
But you feel so far away
We’re just neon ghosts
Fading into yesterday
[OUTRO — fading synths, rain ambience]
[Spoken softly]
“I miss who we were in the beginning…”
