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
