Lyric

The ice clicks softly in a trembling glass

A smile floats in the neon sea

Distant laughter melts into the night

You’re staring out the window silently

Your profile, fragile as it seems

My heart moves before words can form

The clock hands hold their breath in stillness

The night tests the two of us

Silence suits you, your back sways

The one who carries the night hides their tears

I want to touch that moonlit shadow

Where your quiet strength resides

Lights like scattered stars dance in the chandelier

Your shadow trembles slightly in their glow

Words I can’t say sink to the bottom of the glass

Whispers only the night can know

The closer I get, your gaze drifts away

Ripples spread through the depths of my chest

Between the moon and the city

We hold our hesitation

The night wraps around us

Your back, cloaked in silence, feels so far

The one who carries the night never shows their tears

What thoughts run through your mind

Bathed in the silver moonlight?

You didn’t choose to be alone tonight

Yet the courage to draw near won’t return

Without a word, everything is said

Your silent back, breathing low

The one who carries the night cries in shadows

Bathed in the moonlight, your heart revealed

Only the clink of glasses marks the night

The moon falls on your back as you don’t look back

In the midnight glow…
