midnight hum, dashboard glow — breath fogs the glass
neon highways, paper polaroids of what we had
soft piano under rain, heartbeat on repeat
yeah — drive slow, let the city keep our secret
cracked polaroids on the dash, your laugh caught in frame
late-night diner cups, sugar stains spell your name
traffic lights flicker like memories i can't shake
phone screen cold, thumb swipes, another small mistake
zip code of longing, my map's all faded lines
stereo whispers truth between the 808 times
leather jacket, cigarette ash on a thrift-store sleeve
i trade the night for one more hour where i can breathe
counting constellations in the dashboard light
fingers tracing outlines of the ghosts that hold me tight
one deep breath, then fall — the sky answers slow
lift me up, don't let the afterglow go
stay high — can't touch the ground
neon wings, city sound
float past the midnight crowds
hold me up — don't let me down (oh)
vinyl memories spin, crackle of our late-night talks
empty subway platforms, echo of our footsteps' knocks
your lipstick on a napkin, a map of where we've been
faded denim, lipstick lines — the shape of might-have-been
i stack the nights like postcards, edges bent and worn
rain on the windshield writes the places we were torn
moonlight carves your silhouette on the passenger seat
i drive until the sunrise makes the city feel complete
neon breathes like lungs, the avenues inhale
i replay every promise till the signal turns pale
hold the chorus of my chest, let the bass steer slow
this pulse — a lighthouse — guide me where i need to go
stay high — can't touch the ground
neon wings, city sound
float past the midnight crowds
hold me up — don't let me down (yeah)
(soft) night removes the edges, we're paper-thin and bright
(whisper) remember when we wanted to fly through every fight
(half-sung) hollow rooms turned to cathedrals in the dark
i hum our faded anthem, searching for the spark
(beat drops back in) let the hi-hats tick like raindrops on your roof
808 heartbeat — the one thing that remains the proof
double the vocal, distant harmony on the word "stay"
small ad-libs echo — oh-oh, float me all the way
i keep the lights low, let the melody unwind
breathe in the city, exhale the ties that bind
one last climb — the chorus pulls me, soft and loud
lift me up, hold me up — above the crowd
stay high — can't touch the ground
neon wings, city sound
we fly beyond the siren sounds
hold me up — don't let me down (oh-oh)
stay high — lift me off the ground
cracked polaroids turn gold now
float with me above the clouds
hold me up — don't let me down
engine hum, dawn paints the avenue gold
neon fades, but there's a warmth i still hold
say stay — a whisper that won't break or bow
stay high, just one more night — stay high now
