[Intro]
(Instrumental)

[Verse 1]
Rain draws maps on the windowpane
Streetlights smear into a slow parade
VHS snow at the edge of sound
Like the whole night turning down

[Pre-Chorus]
And I can feel it
In the way the air lets go
Like a hand unclenching
Soft and slow

[Chorus]
Let it play, let it glow
Don’t pin it to the wall
I hear the tape breathe low
As the room goes calm

Let it fade in gold
If it’s meant to fall
Let it play, let it glow
I won’t beg at all

[Verse 2]
Coffee cooling by the neon sign
Your old sweater on the chair like time
One small click, the hallway hums
And the silence fills my lungs

[Pre-Chorus]
I won’t name it
But I know the shape it takes
Like a warm light leaving
Without a shake

[Chorus]
Let it play, let it glow
Don’t pin it to the wall
I hear the tape breathe low
As the room goes calm

Let it fade in gold
If it’s meant to fall
Let it play, let it glow
I won’t beg at all

[Bridge - whispered]
If I rewind it
It won’t be the same
The hiss between the seconds
Says my name

(Beat returns)
So I hold it
Like a spark in my palm
Not a promise
Just a song

[Final Chorus - anthemic]
Let it play, let it glow
Don’t pin it to the wall
I hear the tape breathe low
As the room goes calm

Let it fade in gold
If it’s meant to fall
Let it play, let it glow
I won’t beg at all

(Background)
(Let it play)
(Let it glow)
