Verse 1
It’s 2 AM the city’s still awake
Your name keeps swirling ’round my mind won’t fade
Fragments I thought were long dusted away
Play on loop like an old song right by my ear
Your smile mixed in the neon’s folds
Washes over me—no resistance no traces left
I close my eyes to shut the past out tight
But can’t tell if it’s a dream or you just passed by here
Pre-Chorus
I remember every place you’ve been
Now they’re all covered in a strange glow unseen
Longing was never a choice I made
Like wind that stirs up a whirlpool when it blows
Chorus
Is it memory or dizziness
Why when I close my eyes you’re still so vivid it stings
Love was gently stranded by time
But I’m still stuck right where I began
Is it memory or dizziness
Like a spinning dream hanging mid-air refusing to touch the ground
If you ever flip through the past by chance
Could you—send just a little bit of real warmth
Verse 2
Those unfinished goodbyes cut short halfway
Tangled into unlooseable knots deep in my heart
I pretend I’ve seen through everything so calm
But even regrets aren’t hidden well enough after all
Do you ever in some fleeting moment recall
A rainy day the umbrella I handed you
Or the silence after our fight so cold and still
Heartbreak’s so light—even silence can’t hold it up
Pre-Chorus
The answer that once flashed in your eyes—I saw it clear
But later we both tacitly chose to skip it—no need for a word
Did this love ever count as having an end
At least I’m still stubbornly refusing to hit "pause"
Chorus
Is it memory or dizziness
Why when I close my eyes you’re still so vivid it stings
In dreams we never reached the finish line
Waking up to an empty room all that’s left behind
Is it memory or dizziness
Like a kite with a loose string broken free flying toward the far sky
The day you left your steps were so light and slow
But since then all my paths have been thrown off track
Bridge
Has it been too long—no one’s asked if I’m okay
Even illusions become cares I can’t bear to lose
I thought I was just passing through a phase of life
Turns out that phase has been trapping me in the present all this time
Final Chorus
Is it memory or dizziness
Your name still lingers on my tongue won’t fade away
Even if it’s just a moment of missing you
I’m willing—to stay up lost in insomnia for you
Is it memory or dizziness
This love—Is it unfaded fog or a flash of lightning
"Goodbye"might have already been written in the story
But I’m still—
Going ’round in circles between memories and you
