Asphalt Reverie

[Verse 1]
This asphalt ocean, now a storefront gleam,
Holds ghost-prints of a half-forgotten dream.
A Walgreens facade where foundations once felt deep,
Promises whispered, secrets it would keep.

[Chorus]
Still feel your breath on that cold glass pane,
A vault of quiet fire, through sun and rain.
In this liminal space, where memory takes flight,
Our passion painted, vibrant in the fading light.

[Verse 2]
The mistral’s whisper, a distant, phantom sound,
Replaced by idling engines, all around.
No jasmine scent, just petrol in the air,
Yet every brick remembers, if I dare.
I stand on this worn threshold, time a shifting tide,
Where our shared history attempts to hide.

[Chorus]
Still feel your breath on that cold glass pane,
A vault of quiet fire, through sun and rain.
In this liminal space, where memory takes flight,
Our passion painted, vibrant in the fading light.

[Bridge]
The architectural truth, a new blueprint laid,
But underneath, a scarlet pulse won't fade.
Through frosted windows, I trace where we entwined,
A visceral tremor, fiercely left behind.

[Outro]
A fading reflection, against the neon glare.
