[Intro] (Soft acoustic guitar picking. Intimate atmosphere.) [Verse 1] (Gentle, sincere vocals) My father points to the skyline, to the tower of glass. "Grayson Global," he says. "This is your class." He sees a CEO, a shark in a suit. But I see a life that is bitter, not fruit. I wanted to write, I wanted to feel. To publish the words that make the world real. But poetry doesn't pay the dividends they need. So they burn my dreams in their fire of greed. [Pre-Chorus] (Piano joins the guitar. Voice gets stronger.) And my mother? She watches from her throne on the hill. Hiring spies to break us, bending me to her will. She thinks no one is good enough to hold my hand. Unless they are royal in this twisted land. But she doesn't know you. She doesn't see that light. She only sees targets in her cupola at night. [Chorus] (Sweeping Orchestral swell - Uplifting and powerful) So come with me to Paris! Let’s leave it all behind. The fake shine of the Hamptons, designed to blind. No corner offices, no boardrooms, no lies. Just a small apartment and the open skies. We can live on love, light and the truth. Rescue the last days of our fading youth. Pack a bag, take my hand, don't look back. Let’s fade to black. Come with me to Paris. [Verse 2] (Drums kick in - Soft Rock groove) I can see it, Emily. Can you see it too? Walking down Montmartre, with nothing to do. I’ll start my journal, you can find your peace. Sign a lease on a life where our battles cease. No more secrets at dinner, no knives in the back. Just an honest existence, getting off this Grayson track. I don't want the empire. I don't want the crown. I just want to lift you up, not drag you down. [Bridge] (Music builds to a climax - Desperate pleading) If I stay here one more year, I’ll turn into him! A man with no soul, where the light is dim. Grayson’s legacy is a poison, a curse! And every day we wait, it only gets worse! I need us to be real! I need us to be free! But I can’t do it alone... I need you with me! [Chorus] (Maximum Volume, Passionate Belting) So come with me to Paris! Let’s vanish in the night! Leave the shadows of the Hamptons for the City of Light! We can live on love, light and the truth! Rescue the last days of our fading youth! I choose you over the Grayson name! I choose the heart! Let’s make a brand new start! Come with me to Paris! [Outro] (Music slows down to just the acoustic guitar and piano.) [Male Vocals] (Softly, whispering) Just you and me. We will be free! (Pause) Please say yes.
