When the City Stopped

歌詞

Intro The city never slows down Until the night it did ⸻ Verse 1 Friday lights, traffic glowing Headlights painting silver lines Concrete breathing under neon Everybody chasing time I wasn’t looking for forever Just another place to hide From the noise, from the pressure From the weight I hold inside Crowded streets, familiar rhythm Same old bars, same old sound Then across the moving crowd You were standing still somehow ⸻ Verse 1 High heels echo on the pavement Taxi doors and passing smoke I was tired of almost-moments Of almost-love and half-spoke hopes This city makes you feel invisible Like just another face in line So I built my walls up carefully Guarded every piece of mine Then I felt it— Someone watching Not like the others passing by When I looked up There you were Under the skyline ⸻ Pre-Chorus Time didn’t freeze But it slowed down Noise disappeared Without a sound In the middle of a million hearts We found ours ⸻ Chorus In the middle of the city lights Where dreams and strangers collide Out of all the endless nights You were standing by my side No fireworks, no warning sign Just one look that felt so right In a world that never stops We found our moment When the city stopped ⸻ Verse 2 Music spilling from a rooftop Low R&B drifting through the air Wind catching in your hair Like it knew I’d find you there You said, “Do you believe in fate?” Like you didn’t really care But your eyes were giving secrets You were hoping I’d declare I stepped closer, not too fast Close enough to feel the spark Streetlights drawing shadows On the edges of the dark ⸻ Verse 2 You didn’t rush the silence You let the moment breathe Like you understood the space Between the want and need Your jacket brushed against me Electric through my skin For the first time in this city I let somebody in Sirens faded in the distance Taxi horns felt far away All the chaos lost its power When you asked me if I’d stay ⸻ Pre-Chorus 2 Maybe it’s crazy Maybe it’s fast Maybe it’s something Built to last All I know is I don’t want this moment to pass ⸻ Chorus In the middle of the city lights Where shadows learn to shine Out of all the random lives Somehow you found mine No perfect lines, no grand design Just your heartbeat next to mine In a world that never stops We found our moment When the city stopped ⸻ Bridge I was just surviving I was just pretending Didn’t know I was waiting For this beginning For someone who sees me For someone who stays In a city of exits We chose to stay ⸻ Final Chorus In the middle of the city lights Where everything moves too fast We didn’t chase the night We made it last Through the noise, through the crowd Through the doubt we never spoke Out of all the endless nights We found the one Where the city slowed And for a second It felt like forever When the city stopped ⸻ Outro The traffic kept moving The skyline still shined But something changed Because you were mine
