Lyrics
…shhh…
Su-suh-station, tune - - in…
It’s one of those su-suh-days
where the air feels li-li-lighter than it should.
[[small chuckle, mic slightly off]]
Funny how spring - - does that, right?
[[paper shuffle / distant studio hum]]
If you’re on your su-suh-way somewhere new,
or saying goo-suh-goodbye without sa-sa-saying it out loud—
this one’s for you.
[[pause, soft static]]
Shhh… listen - - closely… can you hear spring coming?
[[Verse 1 – soft tape hiss / gentle keys]]
We jumped,
We ran,
We spun,
Sun on our skin,
Sun on our skin,
If it didn’t shine,
Was it real?
Was it real?
[[Verse 2 – delicate pads / light percussive taps]]
Cicadas sing,
Waves hum,
Laughter rings,
Salt on our lips,
Salt on our lips,
If it didn’t twinkle,
Was it real?
Was it real?
[[Pre-Chorus – airy chord swell / soft sidechain]]
City lights flicker,
Ocean nights hum,
Laughing loud,
Outta sight,
Magic in the air,
Magic in the air,
Feels just right.
[[Chorus – soft layered pads / subtle glitch textures]]
We jumped,
We ran,
We spun,
Spring in our veins,
Spring in our veins,
If it didn’t shine,
Was it real?
[[Bridge – sparse clicks / warm filtered synth / slow stereo shift]]
Highway lights flick,
Over the moving asphalt,
Your words don’t reach this space,
But if morning opens clear,
I’ll leave my small hope here,
Between quiet moments.
[[Verse 3 – playful rap / whisper doubles]]
Step in slow,
Step in fast,
Laughing loud,
Moments pass.
Gently shake the petals,
Soft as morning dew,
Spring’s fleeting,
But I’m holding you.
[[Chorus – soft layered pads / subtle glitch textures]]
We jumped,
We ran,
We spun,
Spring in our veins,
Spring in our veins,
If it didn’t shine,
Was it real?
[[Outro – tape slowing / soft mechanical stop / gentle reel fade]]
We jumped,
We ran,
We spun,
Magic in our hands,
Magic in our hands,
If it didn’t flicker,
Was it real?
…shhh…
Can you hear the sound of spring fading away?
Distant petals whisper as they drift,
The brook hums softly, then slips out of earshot,
Wind threads through the corners of the streets,
Leaving the scent of the season quietly behind.
If you listen closely, you can still catch
The faint glimmer of light and laughter lingering…
…holding onto just a trace of spring.
