[Intro, deep lo-fi hiss, distant station ambience] Neon on my eyelids rain on the chrome I’m here, I’m fading but I’m not alone [Verse 1, female lead, tight, catchy phrasing] Shibuya’s rushing, I move in slow Screens in the sky like a private show Perfume and pavement, smoke in the air I catch your name like a sudden flare Gold on the corner, glass up high Two streets down, someone sleeps dry-eyed I’m not judging, I just see what the city keeps giving me [Pre-Chorus, lift, industrial clicks] I’m in the middle, I’m in-between heart on a wire, still staying clean and every step on these midnight roads turns into rhythm inside my bones [Chorus, big hook, house trance lift] Tokyo afterglow, don’t let me go Hold me in the light where the lost hearts go I’m a middle traveler, touch and ache Love in my hands, loss in my suitcase Tokyo afterglow, stay on my skin If there’s a sign, let it pull me in I’m still here, I’m still whole Tokyo afterglow [Verse 2, more drive, guitar shimmer enters] Vending machine hum, sweet caffeine Small talk smiles in a silver sheen A temple bell in a side-street hush My chest goes quiet, then starts to rush I see the rich move sharp and fast I see the broke make shadows last And I keep walking, soft but sure Trying to learn what I can’t cure [Pre-Chorus, tighter] I’m in the middle, I’m in-between not a saint, not a scene and the city sings, low and close like a prayer in electric smoke [Chorus, repeat, bigger] Tokyo afterglow, don’t let me go Hold me in the light where the lost hearts go I’m a middle traveler, touch and ache Love in my hands, loss in my suitcase Tokyo afterglow, stay on my skin If there’s a sign, let it pull me in I’m still here, I’m still whole Tokyo afterglow [Bridge, guitar focus, industrial pulse, softer vocals] [guitar lead] I came to vanish but you made me feel like the cracks in my heart could finally heal [guitar lead] Neon, don’t lie to me Rain, don’t drown me out I breathe in the quiet I breathe it out [Final Chorus, full power, extra harmonies] Tokyo afterglow, don’t let me go Hold me in the light where the lost hearts go I’m a middle traveler, touch and ache Love in my hands, loss in my suitcase Tokyo afterglow, stay on my skin If there’s a sign, let it pull me in I’m still here, I’m still whole Tokyo afterglow [Outro, deep lo-fi fade, station ambience trails off] Afterglow Afterglow Tokyo afterglow
