Ride With Me

City hums in hush-tone — last train, blue chrome

Rain writes your name on the carriage window

Empty seats keep secrets, I keep yours too

Timetables change, but I still run to you

Neon veins flicker under tired streets

I measure my breath by the tunnel beats

Every stop asks softly, "stay or leave?"

I mouth your answer in the glass like steam

Hold my night — borrow me a little light

If I miss my stop, will you let me ride?

The city slides beneath us, quieter than my doubts —

Say we're more than echoes when the lights go out

Let me ride this night with you

Past the stations we outgrew

Quieter than all my doubts

You're the light when lights go out

If I drift, don't pull me through —

Just breathe once and I'll find you

Hold the line, don't cut the sound

We're more than echoes underground

Ride with me... ride with me

Lights go out — you're the light in me

First light sneaks in, silver on the rails

Coffee-warm hands, stories in the stale air

Map folds like promises we meant to keep

Your voice on my headphones, pulling me from sleep

Turnstiles click rhythms under waking feet

Billboards blink futures we might never meet

I count the distance by the words unsent

And spend another wish like it's just spare change

Hold my night — borrow me a little light

If I miss my stop, will you let me ride?

The city slides beneath us, quieter than my doubts —

Say we're more than echoes when the lights go out

Let me ride this night with you

Past the stations we outgrew

Quieter than all my doubts

You're the light when lights go out

If I drift, don't pull me through —

Just breathe once and I'll find you

Hold the line, don't cut the sound

We're more than echoes underground

Ride with me... ride with me

Lights go out — you're the light in me

If the dark forgets our names
