Electric Heartbeat (Neon Boulevard)
1980S Synth-Pop
[Verse 1] Neon boulevard, cassette hiss under shoes Arcade glow in the window, pixel ghosts of blue VHS rewind plays the way you looked tonight Your pulse like a synth arpeggio — sharp and bright [Pre-Chorus ] Analog moon, a gated-snap that lifts the air Fluorescent edges trace the outline of your hair Static fingers comb the dark, pulling me close The city holds its breath — and everything slows [Chorus ] Electric heartbeat — you and me Neon boulevard, we come alive Electric heartbeat — you and me Cassette-scratch memories keep us tonight [Verse 2] Chrome boom box on the corner, shoulder-pad sky Glow sticks painting halos where the storefronts lie VHS corners curl like fingerprints on film You laugh — the world rewinds, the night grows still [Pre-Chorus 2] An arpeggio lifts, like footsteps down a hall A chord dissolves the doubt that tried to stall This synth-line threads the space between your eyes Leading to the place where every secret hides [Chorus ] Electric heartbeat — you and me Arcade-glow confessions in the rain Electric heartbeat — you and me VHS rewind of your smile again [Bridge ] Dawn presses its face to the glass — asking if we'll fade Is this just midnight tape that frays the edges of a day? For a second I confessed the fear — the future's stainless steel But your hand found the groove inside my chest and turned it real [Breakdown] (Neon pulse — cassette hiss) (Neon pulse — cassette hiss) [Final Chorus ] Electric heartbeat — you and me Under strobes and streetlight, we decide Electric heartbeat — you and me Even if the tape unravels, this pulse won't hide [Outro ] Electric heartbeat, neon pulse in slow-motion light Cassette whispers, we linger in the afterglow of night Vocoder hums low on the last repeating line Electric heartbeat — you and me, forever in the neon sign
