Broken Wave Riddim

[Verse 1]
The DJ spun that old familiar tune, same one from Bariga jetty that night.
Lekki neon haze, you a phantom in my fading peripheral light.
Every log drum beat, a current pulling at a truth I thought was gone,
Your laughter echoing, a whisper on the distant shore of a past dawn.

[Chorus]
Oh, broken wave riddim, still I dey dance this way.
E dey pain my soul, but my body wanna sway.
Broken wave riddim, pull me from yesterday,
Make I lose myself in this sweet, sad, Eko day.

[Verse 2]
Remember how the moon, like a perfect akara, dipped behind the Atlantic?
That promise we carved, a fragile shell, lost to the current, frantic.
Now a fresh downpour starts to fall on the hot Lagos street,
Washing over every step, every wrong turn, every bittersweet.

[Bridge]
Maybe true north's a mirage, an ephemeral shimmer on the tide.
Maybe this lonely ocean's where my restless heart decides.
Still, a cautious hope, like morning dew, settles on my skin,
A gentle ripple from within, a new journey to begin.

[Outro]
Yeah, the wave breaks, but the rhythm remains, ah.
Still dancing, still breathing, still calling your name.
