[Verse 1]
Landing in your summer
Passport ink still wet
You say my name, wrong accent
But I like how it shakes on your breath
Flip-flops, gold chain, laughter
My subway card, your bike
You teach me street-side slang
I show you how my city writes
[Pre-Chorus]
You say, stay out a little longer
I say, my flight’s in seven days
Your hands talk bigger than your language
Pull me right into your waves (hey)
[Chorus]
Neon samba heartbeat
Tokyo eyes in a Rio heat
You spin me slow in the middle of the street
We don’t speak right, but our bodies agree
Neon samba heartbeat
Asian girl on a Brazilian beat
If this is wrong, let it never be neat
We fall, we fall, we fall on repeat
[Verse 2]
You got that half-wild swagger
Tattoo peeking out your sleeve
I got my eyeliner sharper
Than the knives your uncles keep
Corner store, cheap sugar candy
You buy three, I steal a kiss
Your jaw drops, then you’re laughing
Guess my pretty face got grit
[Pre-Chorus]
You say, girl, you trouble, aren’t you
I say, only if you blink
You pull me close by my hoodie
Let me taste your cherry drink (oh)
[Chorus]
Neon samba heartbeat
Tokyo eyes in a Rio heat
You spin me slow in the middle of the street
We don’t speak right, but our bodies agree
Neon samba heartbeat
Asian girl on a Brazilian beat
If this is wrong, let it never be neat
We fall, we fall, we fall on repeat
[Bridge]
Sidewalk shrine, plastic flowers
Your mama calls, you hit decline
My group chat blowin’ with warnings
But I’m already crossing that line
From Seoul to São Paulo, baby
From Osaka to your block
If the world wants to stop us
We’ll just make that traffic stop (hey, hey)
[Chorus]
Neon samba heartbeat
Tokyo eyes in a Rio heat
You spin me slow in the middle of the street
We don’t speak right, but our bodies agree
Neon samba heartbeat
Asian girl on a Brazilian beat
If this is love, let it never compete
We dance, we dance, forever on repeat
