[Intro — Riff]
Guitar cuts like chrome, drums a distant roll
Bass hums the heartbeat where the night takes hold
Riff repeats—growl, then climb
We start quiet, we end in fire tonight
[Verse 1]
Late on the rooftop where the city bleeds light
Your dress steals the skyline, glittering white
Whiskey on your breath, laugh like broken glass
We trace our history in neon and asphalt
Your hair in the wind, a blade that won't bend
Every step you take drags me back again
We map the midnight in small reckless grins
Fun times and danger woven under the skin
[Pre-Chorus]
Heartbeat to the snare, closer to the flame
I say your name, it answers like rain
Soft at first, then the amps begin to wake
Turn the dial, feel the earth shake
[Chorus 1]
I love you harder than thunder and rain
You're chrome and ember, a beautiful pain
Killer looks that steal the streetlight free
But most of all—baby—that good-ass pussy's got me
[Verse 2]
Two a.m. diner, jukebox scraping gold
Roads unspooling stories we've never told
Singing off-key to old radio ghosts
Your hand in mine means I'm always the host
Dance in the doorway with shoes on the floor
Wake up with sunrise, love wanting more
Every silly fight, every reckless dare
Turns back to laughter when you're standing there
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Kick drum pounds like the tire of our ride
Guitars like sirens cut open the sky
You lean in close, and the world falls away
One breath, one touch—then we both obey
[Chorus 2 — Fiercer]
I love you louder than thunder that breaks
You're a razor of satin, everything shakes
Killer smile, and the whole street bends
Your fire tears me open—it never ends
[Bridge — Strip Down to Whisper]
(whisper) I could tell you about forever, but forever's loud
(whisper) I could burn the map, follow your shadow through the crowd
Slow the drums, let the guitar breathe thin
I bare my chest—let the raw begin
[Bridge — Climb to Scream]
You are the shelter and the storm, the reason and the scream
When you hold me close I forget what pain even means
From the hush to the howl, from the hush to the scream
We stitch our names into thunder and seam
[Guitar Solo — Motif echoes chorus hook]
(lead cuts, then doubles back on the chorus riff)
[Chorus 3 — Full Band, Higher]
I love you harder than thunder and rain
You're chrome and ember, my beautiful pain
Killer looks, smile like midnight's key
And most of all—your fire tears me open, sets me free
[Outro]
Guitar fades on a last chrome chord, drums slow to breath
You laugh in the dark—my reason, my wreck, my wreath
Queen of my nights, silk and bitter and true
Hard rock and velvet—I'm forever into you
[Production Notes — for the band]
- Opening riff should echo the chorus hook; repeat motif between sections.
- Bridge: strip to single clean guitar and whispered vocals for first half, then slam into full distortion for the second half.
- Leave space for a soaring lead guitar after the bridge that quotes the vocal hook twice.
- Final chorus up a whole step with gang vocals on the
