Lyric

Taxi Lies

Mira Aizawa

Neon breathing slow

Last night you felt different

Like you knew where I’d land

I said I was just laughing

But you held my hand

City lights on my skin

Whiskey-soft, out of tune

Tell me—was it nothing?

Or did you feel it too?

I don’t know if it’s love

I don’t know what to call it

But my feet won’t move

When you say “stay”

Taxi lies, taxi lies

I said I couldn’t get home

Played drunk under neon signs

So you wouldn’t let me go

Taxi lies, taxi lies

No, I’m not that brave

I just wanted one more hour

In the dark with your name

I used to mock the city

“Love here never lasts”

Now I’m counting seconds

Trying to make it pass

Your jacket on my shoulder

My breath on your collarbone

Ask me if I’m leaving—

I’ll say I don’t know

I don’t know if you’re mine

I don’t know if you mean it

But I keep coming back

Like it’s already decided

Taxi lies, taxi lies

I said I couldn’t get home

Played drunk under neon signs

So you wouldn’t let me go

Taxi lies, taxi lies

No, I’m not that brave

I just wanted one more hour

In the dark with your name

If this is just a city thing

Let it be

But don’t look at me like that

And set me free

Taxi lies, taxi lies

I said I couldn’t get home

Played drunk under neon signs

So you wouldn’t let me go

Taxi lies, taxi lies

Maybe it’s all the same

But I’ll ask you one more time—

Can I see you again?

    Silent Horizon (JAZZ Style)

    Mira Aizawa

There is a time between night and dawn
that no one can truly see.

The sleepless hours after midnight.
Words that were never spoken.
The lingering echoes of a love now gone.
The sky beyond the window, slowly changing its color.

Between Night and Dawn is a collection of jazz ballads inspired by those quiet moments that exist between endings and beginnings.

From the amber glow of late-night streets
to the first light of morning,

these songs wander through smoky jazz clubs,
city lights, fading memories,
and the gentle promise of a new day.

Each song tells its own story,
yet together they become a journey through a single night.

The sound of ice melting in a glass.
The fading taillights of a taxi.
A melody drifting from a late-night radio.
A silhouette left behind in the moments before dawn.

Though the scenery changes from song to song,
the emotions remain the same.

Loneliness.
Regret.
Kindness.
Forgiveness.
And hope.

Because night must end,
dawn becomes beautiful.

Night always fades away.
Yet the heartbeat we carry through it remains.

Between Night and Dawn is a record of a heart finding its way toward the morning.
