Lyrics

[Verse 1 - soft piano chords, muted deep-house kick, airy synth wash, warm intimate vocals]
Neon in the window, midnight on my skin
You pull me like a tide I swear I’d dive back in
Your laugh in the static, sugar on the wire
You make a little spark feel like a summer fire

I’m cool on the surface, but I’m burning underneath
Playing it like a secret when you’re standing close to me
Bassline in my heartbeat, slow and out of view
Every little shadow turns electric when it’s you

[Pre-Chorus - drums lift, electric guitar shimmer, layered harmonies rising]
And I don’t wanna rush this, no
But I can feel the whole room glow
You say my name like you already know
I’m halfway gone before you let me go

[Chorus - dreamy, anthemic deep house groove, sidechained synths, full layered vocals]
So pull me in, pull me under the light
Dance with my longing till the morning arrives
I want your love like a secret in bloom
Sweet and a little dangerous too
Oh, you got me spinning in a soft red haze
Lost in your eyes like a beautiful maze
If this is a dream, don’t wake me up
I wanna stay where your heart meets mine

[Verse 2 - groove deepens, bass warmer, subtle trap hats, electric guitar plucks, lush strings]
You move like a question with a velvet reply
A playful little mystery in the corner of my mind
I try to act casual, but you see right through
Every smile I save has a piece of me for you

Moonlight on the ceiling, organ in the air
I’m falling in a rhythm I can’t quite prepare
Dark and bright together, like a thunder-sweet refrain
You’re the kind of trouble that I’d choose again

[Pre-Chorus - build with vocal harmonies, synth risers, snare lift]
And I don’t wanna rush this, no
But I can feel the whole room glow
You say my name like you already know
I’m halfway gone before you let me go

[Chorus - fuller drums, glowing pads, rich harmonies, melodic hook]
So pull me in, pull me under the light
Dance with my longing till the morning arrives
I want your love like a secret in bloom
Sweet and a little dangerous too
Oh, you got me spinning in a soft red haze
Lost in your eyes like a beautiful maze
If this is a dream, don’t wake me up
I wanna stay where your heart meets mine

[Bridge - stripped-back piano, distant strings, breathy ethereal lead vocal]
If I reach for you, would you reach back?
Or let me fade in the midnight black?
I don’t need forever, just this spark tonight
A little more truth in the strobe-lit light

[Final Chorus - biggest lift, shimmering synth lead, deep bass, lush layered harmonies]
So pull me in, pull me under the light
Dance with my longing till the morning arrives
I want your love like a secret in bloom
Sweet and a little dangerous too
Oh, you got me spinning in a soft red haze
Lost in your eyes like a beautiful maze
If this is a dream, don’t wake me up
I wanna stay where your heart meets mine

[Outro - fading pads, piano echoes, reverb-drenched vocal ad-libs]
Mm, stay a little longer
In your glow I get stronger
If it’s love, let it find us here
In the hush between desire and fear
