Valentine
Valentine
Valentine at the harbor
Hey hey hey
You were laughing near the vending machine
Red scarf moving in the sea wind
Everybody looked beautiful tonight
But I felt invisible beside you
The ferries kept crying in the distance
Like old televisions losing signal
And your hand kept touching mine
Like goodbye already started hours ago
Ahhhh
Ahhhh
Do not disappear
You said stay
I said maybe
You said smile
I said nothing
And the whole harbor turned blue
SHE LAUGHED WHILE THE HARBOR LIGHTS WERE DYING
SHE LAUGHED WHILE THE HARBOR LIGHTS WERE DYING
OH OH OH
EVERYBODY HOLD YOUR BREATH TONIGHT
SHE LAUGHED WHILE THE HARBOR LIGHTS WERE DYING
I COULD NOT TELL IF WE WERE LOVERS OR GHOSTS
Or ghosts
The chocolate box was wet from rain
Your cigarette burned through the paper bag
We talked about old websites disappearing
Like they were friends who moved away forever
You kept laughing softly at nothing
While the cargo ships moved like shadows
And every word inside my mouth
Felt too late to save us now
WHO STILL WAITS HERE
VALENTINE HARBOR
WHO STILL FEELS LOST
EVERYBODY EVERYBODY
WHO STILL LOVES HER
NO ONE NO ONE
Ah ah ah
Valentine
Valentine
Hold your breath tonight
I watched your reflection in the black water
Shaking underneath the pier lights
You looked happier talking about leaving
Than you ever looked staying with me
Then the radio inside the taxi started playing
A song nobody remembered anymore
And suddenly the whole city felt
Like a rerun from another life
Hold your breath tonight
Hold your breath tonight
Hold your breath tonight
Hold your breath tonight
Harbor lights were dying
Harbor lights were dying
Hey
Hey
Hey
SHE LAUGHED WHILE THE HARBOR LIGHTS WERE DYING
SHE LAUGHED WHILE THE HARBOR LIGHTS WERE DYING
OH OH OH
EVERYBODY LOSE YOUR HEART TONIGHT
SHE LAUGHED WHILE THE HARBOR LIGHTS WERE DYING
WE WERE YOUNG AND ALREADY GONE
OH OH OH
VALENTINE
VALENTINE
Hold your breath tonight
Hold your breath tonight
Harbor lights were dying
Harbor lights were dying
Do not disappear

SHE LAUGHED WHILE THE HARBOR LIGHTS WERE DYING
MASAQUI
A forgotten harbor ballad discovered as the ending theme of a lost late night television program from the early 2000s
Valentine midnight
Cold harbor wind
A lover laughing softly
A relationship already disappearing
All trapped inside fragile falsetto harmonies and unstable live atmosphere
Worn tape hiss
Distant ship horns
Distorted crowd noise
Wet ocean air
Fading city lights
This is not a perfect performance
It feels like the exact moment human emotion begins collapsing in real time
A dangerous hypnotic pop recording made for listeners already tired of ordinary pop music
Nostalgic yet deeply unsettling
Gentle yet emotionally unstable
A song designed to completely change the atmosphere the moment it appears inside a video
