License to Remember

[Intro]
Shadows on velvet
Secret in plain sight
One look across the room
Changes your whole life
[Verse 1]
He moves like a rumor
Name on nobody’s lips
Ice in his heartbeat
Fire on hers when they kiss
Cards on the table
But the game’s too deep
One wrong whisper
And the world won’t sleep
[Pre-Chorus]
Every smile
Could be the last one
Every word
Could pull the trigger
[Chorus]
He’s a license to remember
Burned into your mind forever (oh)
Dancing on the edge of danger
Like it’s just another night
He’s the one they can’t surrender
Walking out of every ember
If you love him
You could save him
Or you lose him to the light
[Verse 2]
Diamonds in daylight
Mask what the eyes say
Truth in a half-glass
Poison in the ashtray
Hearts made of secrets
Hands made to let go
Trust is a tightrope
High above what you know
[Pre-Chorus]
Every touch
Could be the last one
Every kiss
Could twist the knife
[Chorus]
He’s a license to remember
Burned into your mind forever (hey)
Dancing on the edge of danger
Like it’s just another night
He’s the one they can’t surrender
Walking out of every ember
If you love him
You could save him
Or you lose him to the light
[Bridge]
Will you run when the glass rains down?
Or stay when the sky turns white?
Could you hold him as the world falls out
Of view
Of view tonight? (tonight)
[Chorus]
He’s a license to remember
Burned into your mind forever
Dancing on the edge of danger
Chasing down a fading lie
He’s the one they can’t surrender
Walking out of every ember
If you love him
Stand beside him
As he saves you one last time

pop, Big cinematic 80s-pop production; male vocals with commanding tone. Swelling strings under a tom-filled build in the intro, then gated snares and pulsing synth bass drop in. Verses stay tense and spacious, chorus explodes with towering pads, stacked gang-style hooks, and soaring high harmonies. Guitar stabs and shimmering bells accent the drama; middle section strips back to voice and low synth before a final, bigger reprise., theme
