LUMINESCENT SKIN (version 2)

Verse

Cigarette smoke curls off your collarbone

Traffic light swallows you whole like a tunnel of gold

Your shoulder blades brush mine by accident

City hums louder than the silence we're keeping

Rain starts falling in silver sheets on the pavement

Every step is closer but I don't feel like running

Pre-Chorus

Tell me why this feels so different tonight

Is it the streetlights or your hand on my waist?

Hold still for a second, let the neon bleed

Something's pulling us straight into the red

Chorus

Luminescent skin under city lights

Electric touch in the middle of the night

Nobody's watching but I don't care tonight

I'm melting down to your rhythm and light

Verse

Bare feet on the hood of a parked car

Your eyes catch mine through a veil of smoke and stars

Subway announcements blur into a low hum

Your fingers trace circles slow as we move like one

Neon signs flicker out their own alphabet

Every step is closer but I don't feel like running

Pre-Chorus

Tell me why this feels so different tonight

Is it the streetlights or your hand on my waist?

Hold still for a second, let the neon bleed

Something's pulling us straight into the red

Chorus

Luminescent skin under city lights

Electric touch in the middle of the night

Nobody's watching but I don't care tonight

I'm melting down to your rhythm and light

Bridge

Let the sirens fade into white noise

Keep your hands right where they are tonight

No names, no clocks, just this and your pulse

This is the only beat worth preserving us

Chorus

Luminescent skin under city lights

Electric touch in the middle of the night

Nobody's watching but I don't care tonight

I'm melting down to your rhythm and light
