[Intro]
(soft vocal chop) Breath fog, neon hum — we move
Ah-ah, ooh — ah (vocal chop)
[Verse 1]
Subway window fogs, my reflection steals the view
You press your palm against the glass, your scarf a comet blue
Neon vending glow, a paper cup of steam in hand
Cigarette ash falls like stardust on the cracked pavement
Streetlight halo, frost rims the curb in silver lace
I trace the map of where you left your warmth, your name, your face
[Pre-Chorus]
Strip it down — heartbeat small, the city holds its breath
Silence stitches to the rhythm, then the snap breaks from the depth
눈부신 추운 밤, but I feel you here (chupjiman neowa — though cold, with you)
Tension tight — then we fall into the pulse and fold to you
[Chorus]
Cold night — you’re my heat
Stars freeze, but our hearts beat
Cold night — pull me close
Frost cracks when your hand finds home
(ooh-ah — vocal chop / ad-libs)
[Post-Chorus Hook]
Ooh — 너와 (you & me) / ah — 너와 (you & me)
(vocal chop motif repeats)
[Verse 2]
Bus stop steam paints halos round the streetlight’s eye
Your laugh is small, a meteor that splits the low night sky
Ash like tiny fireworks on the sleeve you left behind
Our shadows braid along the alley where the city sighs
A coin spins in a fountain — we throw wishes like paper planes
Your breath puffs out a constellation that calls my name
[Pre-Chorus — Lift]
Quiet tightens, like a chord about to break and sing
We pull the plug on aching cold, let harmonies begin
춥지만 너와, I fold the dark in two (chupjiman neowa)
Then snap — the beat drops, lights flare, we run to truth
[Chorus]
Cold night — you’re my heat
Stars freeze, but our hearts beat
Cold night — pull me close
Frost cracks when your hand finds home
(ooh-ah — layered ad-libs / vocal chops)
[Bridge — Rap Breakdown]
(beat-forward, percussive, half-ride hi-hat)
English/Korean rap (rhythmic, tight):
Step through the snowfall, my pulse in your palm,
City’s a labyrinth but your laugh is the calm.
숨이 얼어붙어도 난 네 온도에 녹아 (sumi eoreobuteodo nan ne ondoe noga)
Night’s a cold lens, babe, we’re the film that’s warm.
Clap-snap — boots on the pavement, echo like a drum,
Hands lace, map erased — only north is where we’re from.
Cigarette constellations, we rewrite the stars,
Cold outside, but inside burns the part that’s ours.
[Half-Time / Beat-Drop]
(brief instrumental — vocal chop motif slowed, string pad washes)
Silence — then a sudden bass-lift, snare hits hard, chorus explodes
[Chorus — Final / Variation]
Cold night — you’re my heat
Stars freeze, but our hearts beat
Cold night — pull me close
You melt the skyline, light the roads
(ooo — layered harmonies, counterline: "너는 나의 불빛" / "you’re my light")
[Outro]
Cold night — cold night, your name keeps me bright
추운 밤에도 너야 — even on a cold night, it’s you (chupun bam-edo neoya)
Cold night — hold me through the white
We ride the frozen sky until we find the light
(ooh-ah — vocal chop fade)
