[Intro]
(vocal chop) Catch — your — light (hey!) (syncopated breath)
(Ad-lib) Jigeum nal bwa — look at me now
Spark on your cufflight, midnight on my sleeve
Gonna pull you close with everything I believe
[Verse 1]
Subway doors sigh, your laugh cuts the air,
Lipstick smudge on a subway card — your jacket's there.
My sneakers tap a tempo, I rehearse the line,
Thumb-scribbled name, a heartbeat out of time.
Neon flick, your cufflight flicks — I memorize the glow,
A paper crane of courage folded in my coat below.
[Pre-Chorus]
Tiny signals flash, the city hums in four-five time,
I slow the world to you, align the rhythm with my prime.
(Ad-lib whisper) Neo bwa, neo bwa — jigeum nal bwa,
I’m stepping up the frame, I’ll steal that single stare.
[Chorus]
Catch your light — don’t let it go
Stay with me — glow, glow
Catch your light — pull me close
Stay with me — let it show
(Post-chorus hook) (vocal chop) Catch your light — hey! (neo bwa — look at me)
[Verse 2]
You drop a pen, the world rewinds, my fingers find your name,
Cigarette ember on the curb, like sparks inside a frame.
Your scarf brushes my arm, static like a secret code,
I stash a laugh between my ribs, a map I won't unload.
Lipstick on the card — a tiny shard of bold,
I fold it in my pocket, let the little fortunes hold.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Signals dial up, heartbeat climbs in crisp design,
I script a thousand moments where your eyes finally find mine.
(Ad-lib) Jigeum nal bwa — notice me tonight,
I plant a star between your steps and chase it with the light.
[Chorus — Variation]
Catch your light — don’t let it go
Hold it close — don’t say no
Catch your light — I’ll burn bright
Hold me near — through the night
(Post-chorus) (harmonized) Catch your light — ah! (neo bwa)
[Bridge / Rap — Illit-style]
(Beat switches — staccato, darker synth)
City pulse, quick flicks, I carve in neon names,
Blink — I stake my claim, your silence fuels the flames.
Streetlight teeth, chrome grin, I’m sharp in every frame,
Step — rewind — strike — align, I play this like a game.
Cold breath, hot hands, I’m counting tempo scars,
Trade whispers for the thunder, stamp my mark on Mars.
Your attention's currency — I mint it with my scars,
Catch or chase, I lace the chase — I set the scene to star.
(Ad-lib whisper) Notice me, notice me — chingu? (friend?)
[Breakdown]
(Soft, intimate, vocal breath) You don’t need to speak — I read the pause,
Fingers braid the static, convert your hush to cause.
(Vocal chop) catch-your-light — hold — breathe — hold — (syncopated)
[Final Chorus — Climactic]
Catch your light — don’t let it go
Stay with me — glow, glow (lift harmony)
Catch your light — pull me close
Stay with me — let it show (ad-libs: ah, ah!)
(Post-chorus ad-libs) Neo bwa, neo bwa — jigeum nal bwa!
[Outro — Twist / Epilogue]
(Production cue: sparse piano, distant synth shimmer)
I chased your light and found a thousand suns inside my palms,
The street that held your shadow taught me all my calm.
Y
