[Intro]
Midnight lights flicker, doors sigh awake
In the hum of the city, I’m learning to break
[Verse 1]
I drift through neon streets, two hearts in a crowd
A whisper crawls up my spine, saying stay quiet, stay proud
But a tremor asks me to step into the light
To trade the walls I built for a chance at something bright
[Pre-Chorus]
If I reach out, will the echo answer me back?
Or will silence swallow the words I lack?
[Chorus]
I want to touch the night, but I’m afraid of dawn
I crave a name for the faces I pass along
If I breathe you in, will the fear dissolve or stay?
Whispered, I confess I’m lonely anyway
[Verse 2]
The city never sleeps, but I do in my mind
Counting every heartbeat I’ve left behind
Your shadow lingers like a soft, inviting cue
To trade a guarded breath for something true
[Pre-Chorus]
If I reach out, will your warmth meet mine in kind?
Or leave me standing outside, a closed design?
[Chorus]
I want to touch the night, but I’m afraid of dawn
I crave a name for the faces I pass along
If I breathe you in, will the fear dissolve or stay?
Whispered, I confess I’m lonely anyway
[Bridge]
Between the sirens and the subtleties of skin
I hear a promise: maybe we could begin
If I take your hand, we might learn to stand
A little braver in the city’s endless plan
[Chorus]
I want to touch the night, but I’m afraid of dawn
I crave a name for the faces I pass along
If I breathe you in, will the fear dissolve or stay?
Whispered, I confess I’m lonely anyway
[Outro]
So I’ll whisper back to the sleeping streets, a vow to try
To trade the quiet walls for a real hello near the sky
