(Verse 1)
We met in the shadows of twenty-twenty-four,
Two tired hearts not hoping anymore.
Then your name lit my phone like a ghost in the night,
Pulling me closer with a quiet kind of light.
Car park silence, moon hanging low,
You smiled at me softly like you already know.
Dreadlocks falling, tattoos inked deep—
Something in your darkness woke something in me.
(Chorus)
And from one midnight spark under cold car park stars,
You slipped through my armour and into my scars.
Costa coffee warmth in the grey morning air,
Two lost souls finding something rare.
Strawberry fields, sunlight burning red—
Watching you with the kids messed with my head.
In the soft dark, where new love starts,
You haunted the quiet places of my heart.
(Verse 2)
Your hand brushed mine like a half-written vow,
A touch so gentle I still feel it now.
Strawberries, laughter, and the warm summer haze,
You looked at me like I was worth the chase.
You said I was pretty like it hurt to confess—
But I saw the truth in your breathlessness.
(Pre-Chorus / Moment)
And then that first kiss—
Soft, slow, inevitable as fate.
The kind of moment the universe makes
When it’s done letting you wait.
(Chorus)
’Cause from one midnight spark under cold car park stars,
You slipped through my armour and into my scars.
Costa coffee warmth in the grey morning air,
Two lost souls finding something rare.
Strawberry fields, sunlight burning red—
Watching you with the kids messed with my head.
In the soft dark, where new love starts,
You stitched yourself into the quiet of my heart.
(Bridge)
Maybe we’re broken, maybe we’re blessed,
But your arms feel like shelter on a storm-torn chest.
Ink on your skin, truth in your eyes—
You’re the kind of love that feels older than time.
(Final Chorus)
And from one midnight spark under cold car park stars,
We keep choosing each other, no matter the scars.
Coffee-stained mornings, strawberry-stained hands,
Love built in moments nobody understands.
And that first kiss… sealed our fate—
Two shadows becoming something the dark couldn’t take.
