[Intro]
VHS static, heartbeat countin' low,
Midnight arcade, the joystick glows.
Cassette clicks, a record skips slow —
Your shadow traces where the neon goes.
[Verse 1]
Rain on chrome, boulevard in afterglow,
Polaroids curled, ink bleeding where we go.
Ticket stub in my pocket, corners worn and bent,
Your laugh like a chorus from a 4 AM event.
Lights flicker—pink, teal—on the diner roof,
Mirror ball of memories, proof in every groove.
We move like a film reel, frames that never rust,
Hands aged in the frame, no regrets, just trust.
[Pre-Chorus 1 — Yearning]
I press play, the city breathes our name,
Ambitions in the static, longing in the frame.
VHS ghosts show the first time you smiled,
I reach across the pixels, still a child.
[Chorus]
Amour éternel, neon
Rain on chrome, your eyes glow
Timeless beat, we don't fade
You and I, no regrets made
[Verse 2]
Midnight arcade—high score of our vows,
Quarter after quarter, the future in our brows.
Leather coats, cigarette smoke, a vinyl loop hums,
Your hand finds mine where the melody comes.
Train brakes sigh, we write vows on a ticket back,
Ink smudges like a promise on a paper track.
A streetlight hums a lullaby in sodium gold,
Our story in the margins, quietly bold.
[Pre-Chorus 2 — Reassurance]
I whisper in French, just to make it true,
“Je te garde,” — I keep the night for you.
The city presses close, but we push through the noise,
Two steady pulses, one heartbeat, one voice.
[Chorus]
Amour éternel, neon
Rain on chrome, your eyes glow
Timeless beat, we don't fade
You and I, no regrets made
[Bridge — Rap (16 bars)]
(1) First kiss under neon, lips met with the rain,
(2) Heart stutter-stutter, like a cassette stuck again.
(3) Back of a train ticket—promise scratched in pen,
(4) “Meet me at sunrise,” you said, and I said when.
(5) Subway station echoes, footprints in the steam,
(6) We traded tomorrow for a midnight dream.
(7) Skipping records, skipping doubts, we learned to forgive,
(8) Old hands, warm plans, the only way we live.
(9) Internal rhyme, time lining every line I spit,
(10) Neon signs align—our script, every bit.
(11) Rain on chrome, chrome on rain, mirror of our vow,
(12) I fold the stub again, tuck it under now.
(13) Punchlines syncopate—love clapping on the beat,
(14) Your laugh snaps the silence; my pulse keeps the heat.
(15) No regret anthem, vinyl crackle at the end,
(16) We age like fine static—fade never, just bend.
[K-pop Vocal Bridge — Harmony]
(Lead)
Neon skies, je vois tes yeux,
(Harmony)
Amour éternel, all I knew.
(Lead)
Flying past the city, hand in mine,
(High harmony)
No goodbyes, only sunrise.
[Pre-Chorus 3 — Turning Point]
The lights will dim, the night will change its tune,
But I fold you into winter, into June.
We choose the scar, we choose the song,
Turn the ache to promise; carry on.
[Chorus — Final (Beat drop just before)]
Amour éternel, neon
Rain on chrome, your eyes glow
Timeless beat, we don't fade
You and I, no regrets made
[Outro]
Neon dies to amber, the街
