Where I stand, shadows braid with the last light,

Heartbeat syncs to the echo of your name.

Ashanti’s whisper climbs the dusk—

A vow clenched like charcoal in the rain.

If the streetlights fade, I’ll still burn,

Stitching starlight to the holes in my chest.

Find me where the freeway sighs,

Halfway between forgiven and gone,

Guarding the ember our footsteps left.

(Verse)

Slide in close, let the bassline crawl,

Ashanti whisper, make the bedroom sprawl;

JE croon low, velvet on the wall—

Put a little umph in it, watch sweet trembles fall.

(Pre-Hook)

Hands on hips, syncopated grind,

Heartbeat drummin’ to the 808’s shine;

Moan the melody, taste the rhyme,

Turn that single moment to a lifetime.
