[Verse 1]
We met under neon at the corner café,
You spilled your coffee—smiled like you didn’t mean to stay.
Your jacket smelled like cedar and a tape of old Motown;
I kept your napkin, my number tucked into a downtown frown.
You said “call me May,” I answered with a grin,
We traded playlists, secrets, and the soft shape of skin.
That winter bench where we learned each other's names,
Became a Sunday ritual of pancakes and tiny flames.
[Pre-Chorus]
No rehearsals, just the way your laugh bends light,
A little daring that turned every wrong into right.
When strangers pointed fingers, we just drew the blinds—
You pressed your forehead to mine and taught me how to find
[Chorus]
Home in your eyes, where I map the life we’ll build,
A lighthouse on the shore of every storm we’ll still.
Love without limits—bright as neon, quiet as prayer,
We rise, we rise; our echo hangs in the midnight air.
[Verse 2]
You wear my grandmother’s sweater like it’s brand new,
We slow-dance in the kitchen while the coffee brews.
You call me ‘sunbeam’ when the city’s a gray bruise;
I tuck your hair behind your ear and stitch back every loose excuse.
There was a night of shouting, a taxi that drove fast,
Your voicemail on my phone—twenty minutes that felt like the past.
I thought of running, but your little scar on your hand
Reminded me of stories only we would understand.
[Pre-Chorus]
No scripts for the way our shadows bend and blend,
We learned to speak in glances, to break then to mend.
They put headlines on our picture—tried to set us apart,
So we took their whispers, turned them into a start.
[Chorus]
Home in your eyes, where I map the life we’ll build,
A lighthouse on the shore of every storm we’ll still.
Love without limits—bright as neon, quiet as prayer,
We rise, we rise; our echo hangs in the midnight air.
[Bridge]
Remember the night the lights went out and we sat on the stairs?
The city went quiet, but your breath filled the empty squares.
You said, "If they keep calling us wrong, we'll make our own right,"
So we painted our names in chalk on the corner of that light.
We turned their laughter into rhythm, their pity into drumbeat,
Danced barefoot on the pavement, two hearts refusing retreat.
No victory parade, just a louder, braver song—
We took their small doubts and made an anthem out of wrong.
[Final Chorus]
Home in your eyes, where I map the life we’ll build,
A lighthouse on the shore of every storm we’ll still.
Love without limits—bright as neon, quiet as prayer,
We rise, we rise; our echo hangs in the midnight air.
[Outro]
Hand in hand, we re-write the maps they handed down,
Our city lights like confetti, a coronation without crown.
In every tiny ritual, in each morning like a poem—
You are my compass, my laugh, my neon home.
We rise, we rise.
