HOPELESS DESIRES

[Intro – distant ambient pads, soft vinyl crackle, whispered layered vocals] Midnight spills across the ceiling Blue light pouring through my blinds The world feels miles away tonight Like I'm floating somewhere outside of time I hear the hum of empty highways The echo of forgotten names And somewhere between the static and the stars I still feel you [Verse 1] Static skies and violet haze Sleeping through these endless days Dust floats slow in neon light Like tiny stars in dead of night I drive alone through quiet streets City glowing underneath Storefront signs and traffic lights Blur together in my eyes Your voice still lingers in the dark Like faded film inside my heart A distant song I can't erase A ghost that time could never take And all these strangers pass me by Like silhouettes beneath the sky But every crowded room feels cold Without your hand for me to hold [Pre-Chorus] And I don't wanna wake tonight Let the buildings drown in light Let the radio sing soft and low Take me where the dreamers go I can feel the atmosphere Pulling me away from here Like the ocean pulling tides Into hopeless desires [Chorus] Hopeless desires Burning like fires underneath my skin Lost in the wires Chasing the feeling again and again Slow motion hearts in fluorescent blue World falling apart but I'm stuck on you Hopeless desires Pulling me deeper into the night Ooh... I disappear When your memory gets near Ooh... fading slow Into places no one knows [Verse 2] Cassette dreams and polaroids Trying to replace the noise Rain taps softly on the roof Like it’s searching for the truth Bedroom walls glow pale and red Thoughts keep racing in my head Every second stretches thin Like I'm trapped beneath my skin And maybe we were never real Just a feeling I could feel Like summer air before a storm Warm enough to keep me warm Your perfume still lives on my clothes Like winter trapped inside a rose Every little thing remains Tiny fragments of your name I watch the headlights passing by Like comets falling through the sky And for a second I can swear I still see you standing there [Pre-Chorus 2] Now the city's turning gold And the night feels uncontrolled Every heartbeat echoes loud Like thunder hidden in the clouds I don't wanna come back down Leave me drifting through this sound Where the silence feels alive Inside hopeless desires [Chorus] Hopeless desires Swimming through colors I can't explain Caught in the spirals Losing myself in the beautiful pain Hearts overlapping like waves at sea You were the ghost living inside of me Hopeless desires Carrying me out of my mind Ooh... hold me near Even if you disappear Ooh... stay tonight Like a star before first light [Bridge – instrumental builds, heavy reverb, emotional cracked vocals] If the stars collapsed tonight Would we vanish with the light? Would our shadows still remain Dancing softly in the rain? I spent so long trying to heal But nothing ever felt this real Every road just led to you Every sky was painted blue And maybe love was never meant To survive where heaven went Maybe some hearts break apart Just to leave behind the art [Ambient Breakdown – dreamy synths, whispered layered vocals] Floating... drifting... weightless... Your voice inside the static Your touch inside the silence Your memory like a planet orbiting my chest [Final Chorus – massive emotional climax] Hopeless desires Lighting the dark like celestial flames Lost in the fire Still calling out your name after the rain Silver reflections and blurred-out skies Tears like diamonds in tired eyes Hopeless desires Taking me out of reality And even if you fade away I'll replay every word you said Like old recordings in my head Forever spinning Forever glowing [Outro – fading synths, soft distant vocals] Streetlights flicker, oceans hum Morning slowly starts to come But somewhere deep inside my mind Your shadow stays suspended in time The world moves on without a sound As the stars burn slowly out And I keep drifting through the blue Still hopelessly falling into you
