[Intro] (warm synth pads, soft saxophone, distant city ambience) Mm… Ah… ⸻ [Verse 1] Streetlights sliding across your face Gold against the window rain You lean your head against my shoulder And suddenly the night has changed All these empty avenues Don’t feel endless anymore Every step that brought me here Feels worth surviving for ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] And for the first time I don’t fear the morning light ⸻ [Chorus] Stand by me Like the morning stands beside the sea After all this time alone You’re the only place I want to be Stand by me When the city fades to blue I spent half my life searching Just to find someone like you ⸻ [Verse 2] Coffee steaming in your hands Soft music drifting through the room Your laughter moving through the silence Like sunlight breaking through And all the nights I disappeared Inside strangers and neon skies Feel so far away now Standing here with you tonight ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] Maybe love was always waiting For the right kind of quiet ⸻ [Chorus] Stand by me Like the morning stands beside the sea After all this time alone You’re the only place I want to be Stand by me Through the shadow and the blue I spent half my life searching Just to find someone like you ⸻ [Bridge] (instrumentation swells softly — drums widen, synths shimmer) I thought my heart Had forgotten how to open But you move through every broken part of me Like it was never too late Oh… ⸻ [Final Chorus] Stand by me When the sky begins to glow After every lonely night You became my way back home Stand by me Like the tide belongs to the moon And after all this wandering I found my life in you Mm… Stand by me… ⸻ [Outro] (saxophone carries the melody as synths fade into dawn ambience) After all this wandering… I found my life in you… Mm…
