Walked away...

[Hook:]
She ran away through the puddles, bare feet on the ground,
Vanished like a shadow where the sleepy subway’s found.
The old sweeper clears your traces away,
I just watched from the car, nothing left to say.

[Verse 1:]
Like a film on some old VHS tape we’d play,
Where train stations breathed silence at the end of the day.
You stared through my soul as dawn drew near,
Like you knew I’d turn stranger, frozen cold with fear.
We raced down the highway, headlights blinding bright,
Through concrete jaws and rain’s woven night.
You laughed like it’s nothing, cracked a joke or two,
My palm burned with your palm’s heat, feeling something true.

[Chorus:]
You smoked by the window, smoke crawled on the roof,
Cigarette fire mirrored, a truth beyond reproof.
As the smoke climbed up higher, cutting through the air,
I read between the lines of words you left bare.
You smoked by the window, rain bled from the sky,
The city swam in windows where glassy rivers lie.
You haunt me in dreams now, under lamps so dim,
Speaking in lost words on a forgotten whim.

[Verse 2:]
The sunset burned to ashes, tired silence fell,
Blood drummed in my temples like an ocean’s swell.
Sometimes I thought you’d drifted to sleep,
But I just kept on watching, memories to keep.
[Repeat Chorus]

[Final Hook/Climax:]
SHE ran AWAY THROUGH PUDDLES...!
(She ran away through the puddles!)
(Bare feet on the ground!)
VANISHED LIKE A SHADOW...!
(Sleepy subway’s sound!)
THE OLD SWEEPER CLEARS YOU...!
(Traces fade away!)
I WATCHED FROM THE CAR WINDOW...!
(Nothing left to say!)
(Echoed fadeout):
WALKED AWAY-A-A-AY...!
[Long Echoed Climax]
Running through pu-u-u-ddles!
(Running through pu-u-u-ddles!)
[Outro]
