Midnight on Ventura, headlights glowing low I was chasing ghosts down roads I used to know Tux still wrinkled, heart still young Standing outside her door, scared to say what I’d become But it all came back in flashes and heat Like a mixtape spinning under city street She looked like a dream I once let go And in her eyes, I saw the me I used to know We were dancing on borrowed time One night in the valley, frozen in neon light I’d spent years in reverse, trying not to crash Clutching a future I buried in the past But she laughed like summer, like we never changed And I felt something real ignite in my veins Yeah it all came back in flashes and heat Like a mixtape spinning under city street We were more than a memory on repeat Two hearts burning under backseat dreams We were dancing on borrowed time One night in the valley, frozen in neon light They say you can’t go back But sometimes, you don’t have to You just have to show up So it all came back, that reckless high That feeling you could live a whole life in one night And maybe we were fools, or maybe we were right But I found myself again In the valley, under neon skies One night One chance Take me home Tonight
