rain on empty streets

{ambient pads and

soft tape hiss} {distant reversed guitar textures} {delicate reverb-soaked electric guitar motif}

{filtered synth layers enter}

Raindrops trace the glass,

blurred in gold

Headlights catch the smoke,

turning cold

Perfume on the collar of my heavy coat

Everything we left unsaid,

still afloat

{understated drum groove enters with crisp rimshot and warm kick} Static on

the radio, a familiar song

Wondering if we stayed a bit too long

(too long)

{subtle rising

filter sweep} Now we're driving through the two a.m.

haze

Lost inside the corners of a quiet maze

Trying to hold the warmth before it slips away

But the skyline's turning gray

{rich layered harmonies, full lush reverb} Empty train platform

under flickering light

An unread message keeping us awake tonight

You're a ghost in the passenger seat

While the tires hum a rhythm on the wet street

{reversed guitar swells} Static on the radio,

a familiar song

Wondering if we stayed a bit too long

(too long)

{subtle rising filter sweep} Now we're driving through the two a.m.

haze

Lost inside the corners of a quiet maze

Trying to hold the warmth before it slips away

But the skyline's turning gray {expanded instrumentation and soaring textures} {drums drop

out} {layered ambient guitars build dynamic swell} {evolving analog synth textures sweeping

left to right} {subtle electronic glitch percussion} Before the sunrise breaks the

dark... (before it breaks)

We were a spark...

{only delicate electric guitar and whisper vocal} {deep warm sub bass swells

beneath} Now we're driving through the two a.m.

haze Lost inside the corners of a quiet maze

Trying to hold the warmth before it slips away

But the skyline's turning gray {final climax with additional guitar layers and

vocal ad-libs}

{drums fade out} {vocals dissolve into ambient echoes} {instruments slowly fade

into warm analog tape

noise} {reversed electric

guitar trails linger}
