[Intro \u2013 warm acoustic guitar, soft breeze, light synth shimmer]
\n(ooh\u2026)
\nthe air feels different tonight\u2026
\n(… standing in the moonlight)<\/p>\n
[Verse 1 \u2013 romantic, natural imagery]
\nWe met where the shoreline meets the fading light
\nWhere the tides still remember how to get it right
\nYou laughed like the wind had learned a tune
\nUnder a sky that was bruised but still in bloom<\/p>\n
The world was changing, you could feel it in the air
\nHeat in the distance, but we didn\u2019t care
\nJust two small sparks in a bigger fire
\nTrying to dance on the edge of desire<\/p>\n
[Pre-Chorus \u2013 rising, intimate]
\nBut even in the heat that climbs
\nWe find a rhythm in the lines
\nBetween what\u2019s breaking, what remains
\nAnd what still flows like summer rain<\/p>\n
[Chorus \u2013 bright, loving, slightly bittersweet]
\nSay, you’re lookin’ spiffy
\n(All night and day)
\nHey, what do you say
\nWe can be happy…
\n(Let’s throw it all away)<\/p>\n
Just for a moment
\n(Under the sky)
\nHold me close
\n(While the world runs by)<\/p>\n
Say, you’re lookin’ beautiful
\n(Be with me)
\nAnd, all souls are full
\n(Feel us breathe)<\/p>\n
[Verse 2 \u2013 deeper environmental metaphor]
\nThe forests whisper stories in retreat
\nCold winds learning how to admit defeat
\nBut your hand in mine is a feel that’s for real
\nMaybe there’s hope the world can still learn to feel<\/p>\n
We know the warnings written in the clouds
\nWe hear the future speaking through the crowds
\nStill here we are, choosing to stay
\nIn a beauty that\u2019s slipping away<\/p>\n
[Pre-Chorus \u2013 softer, reflective]
\nEvery bloom is just a sign
\nOf something trying to survive
\nEven now, even here
\nLove refuses to disappear<\/p>\n
[Chorus \u2013 fuller, emotional lift]
\nSay, you’re lookin’ spiffy
\n(All night and day)
\nHey, what do you say
\nWe can be happy…
\n(Let’s throw it all away)<\/p>\n
Hold the moment
\n(Don\u2019t let it fade)
\nFeeling every minute
\n(Into time we wade)<\/p>\n
Say, you’re lookin’ spiffy
\n(Play with me)
\nIn a world so if-y
\n(We’re wild and free)<\/p>\n
[Bridge \u2013 stripped, hopeful shift]
\nFind a new way
\n(Bye-bye old)
\nA brighter day
\n(Love shines bold)<\/p>\n
Find a new way
\n(To stay alive)
\nIn love we’ll stray
\n(Strive to thrive)<\/p>\n
[Verse 3 \u2013 hopeful resolution]
\nMaybe beauty isn\u2019t meant to last
\nMaybe it\u2019s the burning in the past
\nThat makes us see it clearer now
\nAnd learn to love it anyhow<\/p>\n
As the earth is changing under our feet
\nWe can still make this moment sweet
\nNot by stopping what will come
\nBut by loving what’s to become<\/p>\n
[Final Chorus \u2013 anthemic, tender]
\nSay, you’re lookin’ spiffy
\n(All night and day)
\nHey, what do you say
\nWe can be happy…
\n(Let’s throw it all away)<\/p>\n
Not the future
\n(Bring it near)
\nIn this moment
\n(Right here)<\/p>\n
Say, you’re lookin’ spiffy
\n(Come with me)
\nLeaving vanity<\/p>\n
[Outro \u2013 soft breeze, fading guitar]
\nFind a new way\u2026
\nLove will play\u2026
\n(spiffy\u2026)
\nNo, no if – we<\/p>\n
