Cinder and Chrome 2 (version 2)

Verse 1

Subway doors burst open on a night that never ends

Your shoulder brushes mine like the sparks I send

Stranger's eyes in neon light just caught your glance

Cinder fizzle where the static took its chance

Concrete humming low beneath the silver soles

You're walking away but you leave a ghostly role

Pre-Chorus

Do you feel it too? That one long second we collide

Is this a hello or a goodbye?

Can I keep the echo, hold it close to my chest

Before the darkness turns and leaves us alone in our nest

Chorus

Cinder and chrome, catching in the night

Your footsteps fading into silver light

Every shadow leans toward where you stood

If only one of us could still feel it good

Lost the signal but I'm holding onto the spark

That's what love becomes when it walks away in the dark

Verse 2

Dust settles softly on the pavement we walked

Your laughter echoes from a hundred steps back

Ferris wheel spinning slow behind the night

I was standing closer than the distance made right

Sirens fade into the static of my mind

But I remember how your eyes just met mine

Pre-Chorus

Do you feel it too? That one long second we collide

Is this a hello or a goodbye?

Can I keep the echo, hold it close to my chest

Before the darkness turns and leaves us alone in our nest

Chorus

Cinder and chrome, catching in the night

Your footsteps fading into silver light

Every shadow leans toward where you stood

If only one of us could still feel it good

Lost the signal but I'm holding onto the spark

That's what love becomes when it walks away in the dark

Bridge

Maybe this was never yours, maybe it's just mine

Still every heartbeat keeps a ghostly shine

I won't chase the silence down because it's hard to say if you felt me too

So I'll keep these embers burning low and true

Maybe someday they burn bright again for two

Outro

Chrome is fading

Cinder stays with me
