[Intro – whispered, pitched-down] Yeah… leaves hit the ground, but I’m still high… Fall in my veins, baby, fall in my veins… [Verse 1] City lights bleed through the fogged-up glass Your lipstick on the rim of my coffee, black We left the party when the playlist died Now it’s just red wine and the neon sky You pull my coat like it’s your lifeline Cold fingers trace the frost on my spine [Pre-Chorus] Streetlights flicker like a strobe in slow-mo Every breath we take turns white, then lets go I taste the season on your tongue—cinnamon smoke We’re too far gone to call this a joke [Chorus – glossy 808s, detuned synth] Fallin’ in the crimson after hours Your silhouette drippin’ off the tower Harvest moon got us both devoured We’re burnin’ slow in the crimson after hours (Ooh-ooh) After hours… (ooh-ooh) crimson glow… [Verse 2] Dashboard glow, 3 a.m. radio You kick your boots off, let the leather show We’re parked on the edge where the cornfields end Hands under flannel, no need to pretend You say “winter’s comin’,” I say “let it wait” We’ve got one more night before the frost seals fate [Pre-Chorus 2] Windshield drips like the tears we don’t cry Your heartbeat syncs with the bassline vibe I pull you closer, let the silence lie We’re ghosts in the fog, but we’re still alive [Chorus – thicker, add trap hi-hats] Fallin’ in the crimson after hours Your silhouette drippin’ off the tower Harvest moon got us both devoured We’re burnin’ slow in the crimson after hours (Ooh-ooh) After hours… (ooh-ooh) let it glow… [Bridge – half-time, vocoder layers] Let the leaves keep fallin’, let the cold creep in I’ll trade forever for the shape you’re in Every scarlett shadow on the pavement sings “Stay right here—don’t let the morning win” [Final Chorus – key up, full synth wall] FALLIN’ IN THE CRIMSON AFTER HOURS! Your name in my throat like a broken vow, girl Harvest moon watchin’ us come undone We’re infinite haze in the crimson after hours (Ooh-ooh) After hours… (ooh-ooh) never let go… [Outro – reverb tail, distant sirens] Leaves on the ground… but we’re still high… Crimson after hours… you and I…
