We Were Never Here
Nova Rai · Eyes on Me, 6 of 15

The story
No names, no phones, no vows, only a dance floor that still remembers. Some nights are only true while they last, and that isn't a lie, it's their shape. I kissed a ghost, made it laugh, and let it go. Not everything you lived needs a souvenir.
Lyrics
Flashbacks in my lipstick
Your name never stuck
But your hands knew my hips
Like we’d rehearsed the fuck
One drink turned to three
Turned to your lips on me
I laughed, said “this is wrong”
You said, “that’s the fun, baby”
We danced like no one knew
But the floor still remembers
My dress, your breath
The night that burned like embers
No names, no phones, no vows
Just skin and bass and now
I won’t ask you where you’re from
If you don’t ask me how
We were never here
Strobe-light sins, sweat-slicked fear
Don’t call me baby, just disappear
You loved me loud, then gone, clear
We were never here
Flashing back in rearview tears
I kissed your ghost and made it cheer
One more shot, no souvenir
We were never here
Your hands, the wall, the way you begged
Tongue like fire, teeth on legs
You told me I was dangerous
I said, “You have no idea yet.”
You said “Don’t fall.”
I said, “Already did.”
But I meant down the stairs
Of your hotel bed
We were never here
No trace, no names, no fear
You touched my neck, I disappeared
Don’t save this — just commandeer
We were never here
Smudged mascara, hands in gear
Your scent still close, your voice unclear
I burned you off — then brought you near
We were never here
Tell your friends it didn’t happen
Say my name with no reaction
But we both know
We both know
You still see my eyes in strangers
You still smell my skin in danger
But I’m not there
I’m never there
We were never here
But you’ll still dream me in your ear
And I’ll still vanish when you steer
One-night saint, last-call seer
We were never here
Don’t believe me? Check your mirror
That bruise is mine, that fear is near
I haunt like love — but I’m sincere
We were never here
