WHISPERED FLAME

[Verse 1] I’ve seen you sitting here, like you’ve done before Always leave me wanting, still craving more But never quite like this—lamp glow on your face You don’t feel like Earthlight—you’re out of place [Pre-Chorus] I come here to write, to chase down the muse But every word I find gets tangled in you [Chorus] Lines in the moonlight, dancing on your skin Pulling me closer—don’t know where I end or you begin You smile like a secret, a spark I can’t define I thought I came to write— But darling, you just rewrote mine [Verse 2] You said, “Let’s trade dreams”—I said, “I’ve got a few” Your voice like a lyric I almost knew You opened your journal, I leaned in slow Two hearts tracing verses the stars used to know [Pre-Chorus] The night wrapped around us, the silence was deep I reached for your hand—time fell asleep [Chorus] Lines in the moonlight, dancing on your skin Pulling me closer—don’t know where I end or you begin You smile like a secret, a spark I can’t define I thought I came to write— But darling, you just rewrote mine [Bridge] Are you even real, or just a whispered flame? A dream I keep chasing but can’t quite name Maybe you’re the story I was born to tell Or just a fleeting ghost I knew too well [Final Chorus] Lines in the moonlight, still burned in my mind Even if you vanish with the morning light, I’ll find— Your smile in the silence, your voice in each line I thought I came to write— But darling, you just rewrote mine [Outro] Yeah, I thought I came to write… But you were always the rhyme
