Lyric

【intro】

Footsteps echo, neon blink

City sighs while people think

【verse 1】

Same old aisle, same iced tea

The clerk and I, we half agree

A nod, a smile, a plastic bag

A ritual that doesn’t drag

【spoken】

“Did I just buy the same thing… four days in a row?”

【instrumental】

【verse 2】

The air is cold, the milk is new

I glance at snacks, just pass them through

The candy’s placed like tiny jokes

This late-night dance, a blur of folks

【chorus】

Neon hum, the floor is clean

This little world, half-lit and green

Three steps back to midnight air

Still, something sacred lingers there

【bridge】

I see a man hum something slow

His bag swings like a metronome

Another girl buys just one roll

We orbit in a quiet role

【instrumental solo】

【spoken】

“There’s jazz in the fridge light.”

【verse 3】

The bell rings once, and then again

An uncle buys some cheap champagne

The clerk yawns once and mutters low

“Same again?” — I nod and go

【chorus (Reprise)】

No grand goodbye, no final scene

Just humming lights and plastic sheen

A waltz for one, a quiet fare

Still, something sacred lingers there

【instrumental outro】
