On Yuklim Hill EV1

[Intro — 5s (instrumental only)] [Single piano note and acoustic arpeggio. Dusk on the hill, street hush only.] [Verse 1 — Male] Funny how I run into you here, on this sloping road at golden hour. String lights sway like falling stars, and that summer we had flickers back to life. [Verse 1 (Response) — Female] Yeah… this road keeps turning me your way, two faces layered in the window glass. Like an empty storefront, our memories feel hollow, even your little tone— it still remains, but— [Pre-Chorus — Duet (staggered)] [M] “Have you been well?” [F] “Mm, I’ve just held on.” [M] “Back then we—” [F] “Shh, let’s laugh tonight.” [ALL] Under these lights, lies turn see-through, our eyes are the first to confess. [Chorus — Duet (unison → thirds)] On Yuklim Hill, we stop and act like it’s nothing, On Yuklim Hill, we blur like an old film frame. “Have you been okay?” “Yeah… kind of”— then laughter spills to tears, are we starting over, or only a memory? On Yuklim Hill, the lights keep saying it’s still you. [Post-Chorus — Ad-lib Hook (soft)] (Both) On Yuklim Hill— On Yuklim Hill— One more time, slow down, slow down— [Verse 2 — Alternating (M/F)] [M] Brake lights fade and drift away, [F] ivy hair, the color of your sighs. [M] Green cones guard the edge of the road, [F] like how we once guarded each other’s lines. [M] “Could we ever go back?” [F] “Maybe… only back to that summer.” [Pre-Chorus — Duet] (M) Even when we let go / (F) the habit of you and me (MF) keeps walking these alleys, telling on us. [Chorus — Duet (stacked harmonies)] On Yuklim Hill, we stop and act like it’s nothing, On Yuklim Hill, words tremble at the ends. “Did you miss me?” “Mm, just sometimes”— we say, truth running late brushes past our lips. On Yuklim Hill, the lights keep saying it’s still you. [Bridge — Whisper F / Soft falsetto M] [F] Maybe we didn’t break, we only took a breath. [M] Step by step, up this breathless incline. [F] “Wal]k like old times, just for tonight?” [M “O[kay… we’ll stop at the very top.” [ALL, sp]oken ] Are we a new beginning… or is this where it ends? [Final Chorus — Duet (unison → thirds, ad-libs)] On Yuklim Hill, our time stands still, On Yuklim Hill, the lights tie up our hearts. “I won’t let go.” “Okay… even if it’s the last time.”— same words, different tremble, spilling into the night sky. On Yuklim Hill, tomorrow can come— I’ll still remember you and me. [Outro — 3s (instrumental only)] [Piano tail over guitar harmonics. Only the streetlight glow remains.]
