[Verse 1]
We were blackout laughing
Cheap red drink in your plastic cup
You traced hearts on my jacket
Said you’d never give this up
Now I’m scrolling through the photos
Like a place I can’t get back
You’re a ghost in every mirror
Just a name I never tag
[Pre-Chorus]
How’d we go from talking till the sunrise
To strangers passing in the blue light?
Every memory hits like a bassline
Too late
Too loud
Too bright
[Chorus]
I lost you in the strobe
Blink once
You were gone
Your shadow on my clothes
Still dancing to our song
You fade with every glow
Still burned into my bones
I lost you in the strobe
But I can’t walk home alone (no, no)
[Verse 2]
Your old sweater in my closet
Still smells like winter and smoke
All your lies were sugar-coated
Took a while to taste the joke
Friends say “baby
You can do better”
I just shrug and change the track
‘Cause the truth is in the echo
You’re not ever coming back
[Pre-Chorus]
How’d we go from fireworks and late nights
To blank screens
Silence in the dark ride?
Every street we loved feels like landmines
One step
I explode inside
[Chorus]
I lost you in the strobe
Blink once
You were gone
Your shadow on my clothes
Still dancing to our song
You fade with every glow
Still burned into my bones
I lost you in the strobe
But I can’t walk home alone (hey!)
[Bridge]
[Beat pulls back
Filtered vocal]
If I see you at the party
Will you look or look away?
Will your fingers tap the rhythm
Of the words you didn’t say?
I’ll pretend that I don’t notice
Heart on silent
Face like stone
But I’ll feel you in the flashing
Like you’re coded in my phone
[Chorus]
I lost you in the strobe
Blink once
You were gone
Your shadow on my clothes
Still dancing to our song
You fade with every glow
Still burned into my bones
I lost you in the strobe
But I’m walking out alone
Yeah
I’m walking out alone (oh yeah)
