[Verse 1]

I caught it on my skin the moment you walked in
Warm and gold, something I have never felt before
Didn't ask for it, didn't see it coming
Now it's underneath my bones and I can't ignore
You left a trace I never knew I needed
A quiet fire that settled in my core

[Pre-Chorus]

And every time the air shifts, I'm reaching
For something I can't hold but I keep believing

[Chorus]

Don't let it fade, don't let it fade
You're the fragrance burning on my skin tonight
Stay in my mind, stay in my mind
I'd chase you through a thousand days just to get it right
You're the only thing that lingers when the world goes quiet
And I need you like I need the air — I can't survive it

[Verse 2]

I followed every trail you left behind you
Through the years, through the silence, through the dark
Every memory I held onto was fading
But the scent of you still carried like a spark
I kept searching through the noise and the distance
Tracing back to where it started, back to where you are

[Pre-Chorus]

And every time I think I've let it go I breathe you in again and feel it grow

[Chorus]

Don't let it fade, don't let it fade
You're the fragrance burning on my skin tonight
Stay in my mind, stay in my mind
I'd chase you through a thousand days just to get it right
You're the only thing that lingers when the world goes quiet
And I need you like I need the air — I can't survive it

[Bridge]

What happens when it's gone?
When the air is cold and you're no longer on my skin?
I'd burn this whole world down
Just to find you underneath it all again
So tell me, tell me now
Are you gonna stay or let me disappear with you?

[Chorus]

Don't let it fade, don't let it fade
You're the fragrance burning on my skin tonight
Stay in my mind, stay in my mind
I'd chase you through a thousand days just to get it right
You're the only thing that lingers when the world goes quiet
And I need you like I need the air — I can't survive it

[Outro]

Just linger… linger on me… Don't disappear…

[Intro]

(Spacey, filtered synth pads. Distant echo of a spray bottle. Low, humming bass creeps in.)

Yeah... It’s like you’re still in the room. Even when the clock moves on.

[Verse 1]

Woke up at 3 AM, and the sheets still tell your story
Top notes of bergamot and a little bit of glory
You left a trail in the hallway, a ghost in the air
I’m breathing deep, trying to find you anywhere
I’m chasing seconds, chasing minutes through the glass
But memories evaporate, I’m watching 'em pass.

[Pre-Chorus]

It’s on my skin, it’s in my clothes Where you end, nobody knows
I’m terrified of the air getting cold
And losing the only thing I have to hold.

[Chorus]

'Cause you’re my signature scent, girl, don't you fade
A permanent mark that your spirit made
I’m pursuing you through the years, through the time
Trying to keep your fragrance inside of my mind
Don’t let the dry down take you away
I need your aura to stay... just stay.

[Verse 2]

Most loves are just an Eau de Toilette—they don't last
But you’re the base notes, the future, and the past
I’m running through decades just to catch a whiff
Of the way you felt, of the "what-if"
Sticking to my soul like a chemical bond
I’m reaching for you, and the great beyond.

[Bridge]

(Beat drops out. Only a pulsing sub-bass and a lone electric piano remain.)

Every hour is a thief, stealing your mist
Trying to wash away the places we kissed
I won't shower, I won't change, I won't move
I’m just a man trapped in your groove...
Don’t evaporate.
Don’t leave me to the weight.

[Chorus]

'Cause you’re my signature scent, girl, don't you fade
A permanent mark that your spirit made
I’m pursuing you through the years, through the time
Trying to keep your fragrance inside of my mind
Don’t let the dry down take you away
I need your aura to stay... just stay.

[Outro]

(Music begins to trail off, sounding "filtered" or underwater)

Still on my skin... Still in my head... Don’t fade to black. I’m coming back for you.

(Final sustained synth note fades into a heartbeat 808)

[End]

[Verse 1]

Missed my stop again

Watching numbers change

Not names

Same streets

Strange in the morning

Coffee cold

But my hands still shaking

[Chorus]

I can’t tell where I’m going

Only know I can’t stay

All these signs keep showing

Different roads

Same gray

If there’s a door that’s open

I’m scared I’ll walk away

I can’t tell where I’m going

But I’m gone anyway

[Verse 2]

Friends talk like they’ve got maps

Folded plans in their back pockets

I just trace the cracks in pavement

Making promises I never started

[Chorus]

I can’t tell where I’m going

Only know I can’t stay

All these signs keep showing

Different roads

Same gray

If there’s a door that’s open

I’m scared I’ll walk away

I can’t tell where I’m going

But I’m gone anyway

[Verse]

I was so blind baby

Thought I was fine baby

Couldn’t see beyond my needs no no

I made you beg and plead

[Verse 2]

Didn't listen to your heartache

I put my own above your stake

Lost in my own world so deep

Now it’s your pain I weep

[Chorus]

Sorry baby

I’ve been so selfish

Sorry baby

Left you feeling helpless

Sorry baby

I’ve been reckless

Now I'm crawling back to you

[Bridge]

I'll change my ways oh yes I will

Make up for the times I made you ill

Promise I’ll be there through and through

All my love is just for you

[Verse 3]

Gonna show you I can be true

Make it up for all I put you through

Let's rewrite our story babe

Turn the darkness into day

[Chorus]

Sorry baby

I’ve been so selfish

Sorry baby

Left you feeling helpless

Sorry baby

I’ve been reckless

Now I'm crawling back to you

Cut the music up A little louder Yeah You had a lot of crooks trying to steal your heart Never really had luck, couldn't never figure out How to love, how to love You had a lot of moments that didn't last forever Now you in a corner trying put it together How to love, how to love For a second you were here, now you over there It's hard not to stare the way you're moving your body Like you never had a love, never had a love When you was just a younging, your looks were so precious But now you're grown up, so fly it's like a blessing But you can't have a man look at you for five seconds Without you being insecure You never credit yourself, so when you got older It seems like you came back ten times over Now you're sitting here in this damn corner Looking through all your thoughts and looking over your shoulder See you had a lot of crooks trying to steal your heart Never really had luck, couldn't never figure out How to love, how to love You had a lot of moments that didn't last forever Now you in a corner trying put it together How to love, how to love For a second you were here, now you over there It's hard not to stare the way you're moving your body Like you never had a love, never had a love You had a lot of dreams that transform to visions The fact that you saw the world affected all your decisions But it wasn't your fault, wasn't in your intentions To be the one here talking to me, be the one listening But I admire your poppin' bottles and dippin' Just as much as you admire bartending and stripping Baby, so don't be mad, nobody else trippin' You see a lot of crooks and the crooks still crook You had a lot of crooks trying to steal your heart Never really had luck, couldn't never figure out How to love, how to love You had a lot of moments that didn't last forever Now you in this corner tryna put it together How to love, how to love For a second you were here, now you over there It's hard not to stare the way you're moving your body Like you never had a love, never had a love See I just want you to know that you deserve the best You're beautiful, you're beautiful Yeah, and I want you to know You're far from the usual, far from the usual You see you had a lot of crooks trying to steal your heart Never really had luck, couldn't never figure out How to love, how to love See you had a lot of moments that didn't last forever Now you in this corner trying put it together How to love, how to love See you had a lot of crooks trying to steal your heart Never really had luck, couldn't never figure out How to love, how to love You had a lot of moments that didn't last forever Now you in this corner trying put it together How to love, how to love

Used to spend my nights out in a barroom
Liquor was the only love I'd known
But you rescued me from reachin' for the bottom
And brought me back from being too far gone

You're as smooth as ice chilled whiskey
You're as sweet as strawberry wine
You're as warm as a glass of brandy
And honey, I stay stoned on your love all the time

I've looked for love in all the same old places
Found the bottom of a bottle's always dry
But when you poured out your heart, I didn't waste it
'Cause there's nothing like your love to get me high

You're as smooth as ice chilled whiskey
You're as sweet as strawberry wine
You're as warm as a glass of brandy
And honey, I stay stoned on your love all the time

You're as smooth as ice chilled whiskey
You're as sweet as strawberry wine
You're as warm as a glass of brandy
And honey, I stay stoned on your love all the time

You're as smooth as ice chilled whiskey
Ice chilled whiskey
Ice chilled whiskey

You're as smooth as Tennessee whiskey
Ice chilled whiskey
Ice chilled whiskey

[Verse 1]

I was living in the dark, didn't know the night had ended

Thought the cold was all there was, that warmth could never mend it

But the Morning came so quiet, like a whisper on my skin

Golden light through broken walls — and the change began again

[Pre-Chorus]

And Time moved in like a river, washing all my pride away

The Spirit wouldn't let me hold on — it carried me today

[Chorus]

Oh Morning, rise in me

Let your light undo what darkness made of me

And Time, move through me now

Holy Spirit, show me how to surrender, show me how

I don't have to fight this season on my own

Just let the Morning break — and trust what only God has sown

[Verse 2]

The storm stripped everything I built with my own hands

I couldn't see the dawn no matter where I stand

But Time kept turning even when I begged it not to move

And in the space it made, the Morning found its groove

[Pre-Chorus]

I stopped reaching for the darkness, let my hands fall open wide

And the Spirit filled the silence — nothing left for me to hide

[Chorus]

Oh Morning, rise in me

Let your light undo what darkness made of me

And Time, move through me now

Holy Spirit, show me how to surrender, show me how

I don't have to fight this season on my own

Just let the Morning break — and trust what only God has sown

[Bridge]

I thought the night would never end

I thought surrender meant I'd lose again

But the Morning doesn't break to take — it breaks to give

And Time in God's hands is the holiest gift

So I lay it all down at the altar of the dawn

And let the Holy Spirit carry me on

[Chorus]

Oh Morning, rise in me

Let your light undo what darkness made of me

And Time, move through me now

Holy Spirit, show me how to surrender, show me how

I don't have to fight this season on my own

Just let the Morning break — and trust what only God has sown

[Outro]

Let the Morning rise…

Let Time move…

I surrender…

A wonderful change has come over me…
