[Intro]
City breathes, neon and warm rain,
Bass low, heartbeat calls your name,
Violin whispers — silver, sweet —
Tonight we move, heartbeat on repeat.
[Verse 1]
You step in slow, perfume of street jasmine,
Leather jacket warm, your laugh caught in the wind,
Strobe on your jawline, moonlight on your teeth,
My pulse counts the seconds, the rhythm underneath.
Fingers trace the small of your back, warm and true,
Heat of skin, salt of a kiss, midnight avenue,
The drums push forward — dum-ba, ta, ta —
My shadow and yours turn into a single star.
[Pre-Chorus]
Close like a secret, breath on my ear,
Syncopated steps — feel the groove appear,
Onomatopoeic heartbeat — dum-ba, ta, ta —
Violin climbs, it pulls me closer, aha.
[Chorus]
Heartbeat on repeat, heartbeat on repeat,
Dance me back to you — heartbeat on repeat.
Strings climb, pull me close, feel the heat,
Heartbeat on repeat, heartbeat on repeat.
[Verse 2]
You taste like late espresso and rain on tar,
Laughter like cymbals, a million little stars,
Your palm fits mine like a favorite song,
I hear the violin answer and it sings along.
Streetlight paint on your collarbone, soft glow,
We trade small stories, slow sway, ebb and flow,
Every step a sentence, every look a beat,
The night translates our names into drums and heat.
[Pre-Chorus]
Turn and I follow, hips speak in time,
Percussive whispers — click-clack, tik-tik — rhyme,
Violin pulls the chorus higher, taut string and sweet,
Syncopated breath — dum-ba, ta, ta — repeat.
[Chorus]
Heartbeat on repeat, heartbeat on repeat,
Dance me back to you — heartbeat on repeat.
Strings climb, pull me close, feel the heat,
Heartbeat on repeat, heartbeat on repeat.
[Instrumental Violin Break]
(violin motif: strings like silver rain — climbs, trembles, then pulls back)
8 bars of violin lead over synced handclaps and layered percussion — a call-and-response with the vocal motif.
[Bridge]
Violin speaks — it knows your name, it knows my name,
Strings like silver rain, they fall and then they claim,
"I pull, you sway," the melody insists,
The violin drags the night into a lover's tryst.
Close your eyes — feel the climb, feel the sweep,
It tugs the moon down from the sky to keep,
A ribbon of sound wraps around our feet,
We lose the world and find the drum of the street.
[Chorus — Big]
Heartbeat on repeat, heartbeat on repeat,
Dance me back to you — heartbeat on repeat.
Violin climbs, it pulls me close, taste the heat,
Heartbeat on repeat, heartbeat on repeat.
[Outro]
Heartbeat on repeat — (heartbeat, heartbeat)
Dance me back — (dance me back to you)
Heartbeat on repeat — (heartbeat, heartbeat)
Strings like silver rain — pulling through.
Final vocal ad-libs over fading violin: "Heartbeat... on... re-peat..."
