(Variation: atmospheric with layered synths and soft percussion; electronic, dreamy)
Verse 1
Neon fog, midnight hum, city breathing slow,
Walkman ghosts in the glow of the dashboard stereo.
VHS moons and a Polaroid grin,
Your hair in the window breeze, I’m dial-up dialing in.
Pager light flickers like a heartbeat code,
You say “meet me where the skyline bends the road.”
(Variation: atmospheric with layered synths and soft percussion; electronic, dreamy)
Pre-Chorus
Your fingers trace a waveform on my sleeve,
Sidechain heart—every rise when you breathe.
(Variation: atmospheric with layered synths and soft percussion; electronic, dreamy)
Chorus
We’re mixtapes & night drives, layered synths collide,
Soft percussion, slow devotion, wave on wave we glide.
From payphones to FaceTime, baby hit rewind,
’95 to now, you’re the hook I fade and find.
No swipe right needed—signal’s clear tonight,
Mixtapes & night drives, love in city lights.
(Variation: atmospheric with layered synths and soft percussion; electronic, dreamy)
Verse 2
Blockbuster blue on your thrift-shop tee,
We laugh at the preview reels playing in me.
Cassette-tape summer with a lo-fi hiss,
You taste like cherry soda and a first-dance kiss.
FM static, then our song breaks through,
I turn the reverb up till it sounds like you.
(Variation: atmospheric with layered synths and soft percussion; electronic, dreamy)
Pre-Chorus
Head on my shoulder in a violet haze,
808 raindrops keep the tempo of our days.
(Variation: atmospheric with layered synths and soft percussion; electronic, dreamy)
Chorus
We’re mixtapes & night drives, layered synths collide,
Soft percussion, slow devotion, wave on wave we glide.
From payphones to FaceTime, baby hit rewind,
’95 to now, you’re the hook I fade and find.
No swipe right needed—signal’s clear tonight,
Mixtapes & night drives, love in city lights.
(Variation: atmospheric with layered synths and soft percussion; electronic, dreamy)
Bridge
If the world goes offline like a dial-up sigh,
We’ll dance to the streetlights, no Wi-Fi sky.
I’ll loop your name in a four-bar loop,
Till morning paints the skyline blue.
(Variation: atmospheric with layered synths and soft percussion; electronic, dreamy)
Break (Drop-Hook)
Neon… daydream… soft kick, slow steam—
Press play, stay—make the moment evergreen.
(Variation: atmospheric with layered synths and soft percussion; electronic, dreamy)
Final Chorus
We’re mixtapes & night drives, echo into dawn,
Dreamwave halos on the road we’re on.
From Walkman dreams to cloud-saved lives,
You’re the chorus where my future thrives.
No swipe right needed—meet me in that light,
Mixtapes & night drives, forever sounds right.
