Cherry Blossoms
by Avery Beres
Lyrics
[Intro - lo-fi crackle, soft vinyl static, distant city rain, whispered ad-libs "sakura dreams..."]
[Verse 1 - mellow 808 bass, chill boom-bap drums, smooth auto-tuned flow, hazy synth pads]
Late night walk by the vending machines, glowin' under neon lights
Uniform skirt swayin', cherry blossoms fallin' like our first fight
You laugh at my bad kanji, I blush in the hallway crowd
Stealin' glances in math class, heart racin' not too loud
Pocky sticks and stolen kisses behind the gym after school
Your smile's my favorite haiku, breakin' every rule
[Pre-Chorus - subtle riser, trap hi-hats tickin' soft, layered vocal echoes building vibe]
Feelin' that spark in the air, summer festival lights
Hand in hand through the torii gates, yeah this feels right
[Chorus - lush lo-fi chords, warm sub-bass pulse, melodic rap hook with breathy harmonies, reverb tail]
Girl from class 2-B, you're my high school fantasy
Chill waves crashin', lo-fi love in Tokyo streets
Bento box promises, forever in your eyes
Sakura romance, under these cherry skies
(Ad-libs: yeah, ooh... high school love, forever vibe)
[Verse 2 - dusty piano loops, lazy snare rolls, intimate double-time flow, faint school bell samples]
Rooftop confessions, stars above the skyline haze
Your mixtape in my Walkman, replayin' our lazy days
Bicycle rides to the konbini, sharin' ramune dreams
Fightin' over karaoke scores, but you're my winning team
Graduation comin', but this feelin' won't fade
Our story's on repeat, in this lo-fi parade
[Bridge - stripped lo-fi beat, solo acoustic guitar strums, vulnerable spoken-sung vocals, rising tension with filtered synths]
What if we run away? Skip the tests, chase the dawn
Your hand in mine, yeah, we're never movin' on... (echo: movin' on)
[Chorus - fuller 808 drop, chopped & screwed harmonies, dreamy ad-libs swirling, extended fade-in reverb]
Girl from class 2-B, you're my high school fantasy
Chill waves crashin', lo-fi love in Tokyo streets
Bento box promises, forever in your eyes
Sakura romance, under these cherry skies
(Ad-libs: sakura... high school high... ooh yeah)
[Outro - slowing tempo, fading vinyl noise, ethereal vocal chops, rain samples dissolving]
Cherry blossoms fall... our love stays... lo-fi forever... (whisper fade: class 2-B...)
