The clock-out bell fades away, night wind seeps through my raised collar
Between skyscrapers, crosswalks, neon paints the pavement underfoot
“Let’s take a little detour,” I slip the pocket brake free
A comet’s tail of people weaving through gaps of light
My reflection in the office windows, stretching, fading away
Slowly unlocking my heart, sax breath melts into my ears
“This is my time now,” counting anew
Following the night’s beckon, loosening laces, I step forward
We’re comets, free just for now
Drawing trails across neon skies, nameless, flowing away
Lingering warmth of good intoxication leaves stardust in my chest
Trusting only the sparkle until we return to tomorrow
I won’t say goodbye, say no good‑bye
In the swaying glass, the Milky Way flows
The sweet afterglow of this buzz, yoin & yoi play on words
Wishes reaching for the stars, reaching for the stars
Every rung climbed, laddered clouds of bar-hopping nights
Mom’s smile, strangers’ tears, sparks that vanish in a blink
Footsteps as rhythm, breath as melody
Detours, detours, detours — this is my universe
By the time we leave the last bar, the sky fades from indigo to ink
Old stories over the counter, the night we saw a comet
Whose shadow floats across your profile, constellations drawn on napkins
“See you,” Mom waves, the doorbell leaves a lingering echo
Only our footsteps echo in the alley, the crowd dissolves somewhere
Emotions left behind flutter back to my shoulders
A comet from a distant memory stretches its tail in my chest
Connecting the light that guides tomorrow with the night that wraps now
We’re comets, we don’t know where we’re headed
The trails of our detours become maps in each night sky
Last-call bells ring, a nostalgic melody drifts by
Someone’s smile pushes us toward tomorrow, onto the platform
We’re comets, in the blink of an eye
Drawing trails across neon skies, scattering showers of light
Holding tight to this sweet afterglow, returning to everyday life
But tomorrow night, we’ll surely race again as detour comets
