[Verse]
Cigarette smoke curling, shadow on the wall
Whispers in the alley, late-night call
Eyes sharper than a diamond's edge, she cut through
Her voice, velvet thunder, in the dark she grew
Heartbeats syncopated, two clocks ticking
World outside fades, just us in the thickening
Fingers trace constellations on her brown skin
Every scar a story, where do I begin?
[Chorus]
I told her, "You’re the storm I’ve been waiting to weather
The kind of forever that feels like leather"
Her laugh hit my chest, a sweet collision
"Say it again," she said, "make it your mission"
[Verse 2]
She the kind to sip whiskey, no chaser
Lips taste like rebellion, soft eraser
Erasing doubts, erasing fears, what a healer
Her hands like anchors, pulling me deeper
The jukebox sang our sins, crackling low
Blue neon flickered, our secret glow
She kissed my wrist, said, "Baby, you’re fire"
Two sparks in a world of cold, climbing higher
[Prechorus]
Ain’t no shame in the way we burn
Every turn, we learn, bridges we earn
