Crowded floor, neon blinking in my eyes, All I hear are the words that leave your lips. Feels like a dream sequence frozen in time; One brush of our fingers and the scene might slip. I’m the calm one— at least that’s who I’m supposed to be. First‑ train bells will ring any minute now, Reality’s already knocking on the door. Please… give me just a little longer somehow. Hey, don’t fade out on me, Not till the night has lost its hue. Crank the volume, freeze the world— I only want to stand right next to you. Hey, don’t fade out on me, Till breathing slips my mind. For this moment, I don’t care if every heartbeat’s a lie. I always act like the coolest one around, Swore I’d never trust a word like forever. But I keep hunting futures in your eyes, spellbound; Some smarter version of me laughs—whatever. Static tries to hijack the signal in my chest. Ice clinks in the glass, a crystal warning chime, Like the sound that signals everything will end. Please… lie if you must—just say “I won’t go this time.” Hey, don’t fade out on me, Not till the night has lost its hue. Crank the volume, freeze the world— I only want to stand right next to you. Hey, don’t fade out on me, Till breathing slips my mind. For this moment, I don’t care if every heartbeat’s a lie. If this is fickle, If it’s one‑night magic, I honestly don’t care anymore. …Never knew morning could be this frightening— First time I’ve felt that for sure. Hey, don’t fade out! Stay vivid till the night turns gray. Turn it up and stop the world, Let me linger in your gravity. Hey, don’t fade out! Till breath itself forgets to exist— Right now, all I want is you in the pulse of this. …Fade out… don’t… …Don’t fade out… …Stay like this…
