The Red Dress

[Intro - Chipmunk Sample] I was waiting underground, just another shadow on the tracks City’s roar above me felt like pressure on my back A single heartbeat moment, I swore the world stood still Then I saw you in that red dress, bending time against my will (Time against my will...) [Hook - Melodic Pain] And I still see you, in the afterglow of my mind Your silhouette in neon lights I never leave behind The girl in the red dress, fading into hidden nights I still feel that spark, like a story left to write (Left to write...) [Verse 1 - Memory Flow] The subway doors slid open, and I swear I lost my breath Caught a glimpse of your eyes, couldn’t think of nothing else Was it fate or a dream that flashed so fast before it closed? You vanished in a blink—heart racing, mind exposed Stepping onto those rails, the city pulled me back in place But the way you owned that moment stayed etched upon my face I wondered if our eyes spoke some silent vow that day Or if your look was just a whisper that the trains took away [Hook - Melodic Pain] And I still see you, every time my nights get slow The girl in the red dress, a memory I can’t let go I still feel you, echoing through city sounds Like we’re dancing in the silence each time the train slows down (Slows down...) [Verse 2 - Realization] Years passed by in glimpses, I’m still riding these same tracks Hoping that the story might find a way to circle back Trains come and go, faces blur in daily repetition Yet I cling to that one instant like it’s fueling my ambition Did your eyes hold a promise? Or was I reading in the dark? Did we share a fate unspoken, or just a fleeting spark? I’m stuck on “what if,” letting possibilities take flight Haunted by a moment that still colors all my nights [Bridge - Searching Soul] If fate could freeze a moment, I’d step right through that door And speak the words I swallowed in the hush of subway floors I’d trade a thousand journeys for the chance to say your name To close the gap of silence and rewrite the fleeting game (Rewrite the game...) [Hook - Melodic Pain] And I still see you, like a silhouette in time The girl in that red dress, your memory on rewind I still feel you, woven in my heart’s design An echo of tomorrow that the present left behind (Left behind...) [Outro - Reflection] Still, I’m scanning every passing train for one more sign Your image is a sweet ache that lingers in my mind The girl in the red dress—forever in my frame A single moment changed me, and I never was the same
