Ascend with Me (Gold in the Haze)
[Verse 1]
I love her with a dizzy joy
that spins inside my chest like summer wine
Pulling us close until the neon world
fades to shimmering gold, baby, all mineNo masks, no chains—just raw and real
hearts wide open in the midnight light
In her eyes I gleam like buried treasure
alive, trembling, bright[Pre-Chorus]
I love watching the boys chase shadows on 
the boardwalk
but none of them shine like you do tonightI put on my softest song, let it play low
while I watch you glow, watch you take flight[Chorus]
Hand in hand we rise, breaths matching slow
upward, fearless, laughing through the blue
Over rainbows arching like broken promises
into the sky where fire burns gentle, just for twoWe’re lost—beautifully, completely lost
in colors bleeding soft, in endless you
Ascend with me, darling, don’t look down
this haze is heaven, and it’s pulling us through[Verse 2]
You’re my candle in the vast blue dark
flame so tender it could break my heart
I watch the way the light catches your skin
like gold dust falling where the real world endsI like you a lot—more than the boys on the corner
more than the music I play to fill the quiet
You dissolve me sweetly, make the edges blur
till there’s nothing left but this glittering riot[Chorus – ]
Hand in hand we rise, breaths matching slow
upward, fearless, laughing through the blue
Over rainbows arching like forgotten dreams
into the sky where only me and youWe’re lost—beautifully, completely lost
in colors bleeding soft, in endless you
Ascend with me, baby, don’t let go
this shimmering haze is all we ever knew[Bridge –]
I love watching... watching you ascend
like some old Hollywood starlet in the rain
No boys could touch this, no chains could hold it
just us, raw and real, rising again[Outro – fading reverb, ghostly echoes]
Ascend with me...
gold in the haze...
lost in you...
don’t wake me... don’t wake me...
