[Verse 1]
When your keys click on my doormat at midnight,
The hallway takes your shape—soft lamp, crumpled light.
Your hoodie leaves a map of cologne on my chair,
A crooked postcard of you folded into air.
You laugh against the fridge like a familiar song,
Vinyl in the corner hums the parts we hum along.
Short sentences, long looks—slow rewind,
Your fingers find my palm like a quiet sign.
[Pre-Chorus]
Under sodium street halos we learn the rhythm,
Syllables of silence turned to a kind of wisdom.
You move me like a secret only my skin can know,
Two-step heartbeat, slow drum, watch the city glow.
[Chorus]
Forever in your rhythm, babe,
You set the metronome of my days.
Every breath, every little sigh,
You’re the light that keeps the dark in line.
Forever in your rhythm, babe—
I trace the orbit of your name.
(And every night I come back home to you)
[Verse 2]
Morning spills in coffee rings and half-read pages,
You fold the sun like sunlight into tiny stages.
Your voice in the doorway, low and real,
Calls the ghosts of doubt away, makes everything heal.
We trade small truths: the rent, the route, the scar,
Your thumb still knows the scar that maps my heart.
No grand crusade, just this kitchen-glow truce,
Two spoons, one song—our domestic truth.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
We used to lose ourselves in neon and noise,
Now we find each other in quieter poise.
You come home earlier to catch my falling day,
I learn your lines before you get to say.
The steps have changed—less rush, more stay,
We’ve rewritten midnight so it knows our names.
[Chorus]
Forever in your rhythm, babe,
You set the metronome of my days.
Every breath, every little sigh,
You’re the light that keeps the dark in line.
Forever in your rhythm, babe—
I trace the orbit of your name.
(And every night I come back home to you)
[Bridge]
There's a night I wake and the city's talking louder,
Strangers pull like tides, and I start to wander.
Fear has teeth—says love is fragile glass,
But I cup your face like a lighthouse built to last.
If distance tries to teach us how to forget,
I’ll stitch the map with words I promised you yet.
Hold me while I promise—soft as a vow,
If the world turns cold, I’ll warm it somehow.
[Breakdown]
(Ooh—) breathe with me now,
(Yeah—) count the seconds, come down.
Whoaaa—
Your pulse, my stead,
Your whispertells me, “don’t go yet.”
[Final Chorus — Lifted]
Forever in your rhythm, babe,
You set the metronome of my days.
Every breath, every little sigh,
You’re the light that keeps the dark in line.
Forever in your rhythm, babe—
I trace the orbit of your name.
Forever in your rhythm, and I'm never letting go—
Hold me close, until the city learns our flow.
[Vocal Ad‑lib]
(Mm‑hmm) ah—whoa—ooh
Stay, stay—never fade—
(Mm) I’m yours—right here—
Never letting go—oh no—
[Outro]
When your keys click on my doormat at midnight,
The world folds quiet and everything feels right.
We leave the light on for the hours we own—
Forever is the sound of your keys, coming home.
