[đŸŽ¶ Vibe Settings: Mood: Nostalgic, Bittersweet, Melancholic-Warm Genre: Alt-Pop / Bedroom Synthwave Tempo: 88 BPM Instruments: Warm lo-fi synths, ambient keys, soft guitar loops, pulsing kick, subtle VHS hiss Style Influence: LANY × The 1975 (early) × Lauv × Joji x Nickelback FX Notes: Text-tone samples from old iPhones, cassette reverb, faint dial-up motif during intro] 🜁 Lyrics – “2013” [Verse 1] Felt like the world moved slower then We talked all night, just me and my friends Friday lights and hoodie sleeves No followers, just memories You wore your hair like you didn’t care And I played chords with looped despair No filters, just the blur Of who we were Before we learned to rehearse [Chorus] 2013 When we felt things offline No screen between your hand and mine Before the noise, before the brand When I still knew where I could stand 2013 Before the world got clean and cold Before we started selling soul I’d go back just for a scene Of who I was In 2013 [Verse 2] Polaroids on bedroom walls Cracked headphones and missed calls We made playlists like prayers And passed notes like they’d disappear We weren’t scared to say too much Or dance in places that felt too rough Now it’s “content,” now it’s “reach” But back then love was just speech [Chorus] 2013 When heartbreak wasn’t clipped or staged We cried without a polished page Before the metrics, before the brand Before the silence felt so planned 2013 Before the nights got optimized When “are you okay?” meant look in my eyes I’d break this loop, delete this screen Just to feel Like 2013 [Bridge – (whispered over VHS synth)] I miss the part of me That didn’t need to be seen Back when “real” wasn’t curated And we weren’t afraid to be [Final Chorus – soft, unraveling] 2013 I still wear it in my bones That year we all felt less alone Before the tap, before the scroll Before I turned into a role 2013 Maybe gone but not erased I trace the glow in all this gray One more dream, one more scene— Replay me 2013 [Outro – soft, with tape hiss] (You there?) (You remember?) Yeah
 Me too.
