Samba of the Unsaid

[Intro]
[Verse]
Sun-dappled tiles, warm and gold
Secrets that we never told
Rio hums a low-fi beat
Shimmering in the summer heat
I find the chair where you leaned
Like a scene that I dreamed
[Verse]
Sipping a caipirinha
Like a slow ballerina
Salt air kisses my face
In this quiet, sacred space
Your ghost is sitting there still
Gives my heart a sudden thrill
[Pre-Chorus]
Trade winds tangle in the vines
Tracing all the hidden lines
The city starts to glow
Things we’ll never know
[Chorus]
Oh, the samba of the unsaid
Spinning circles in my head
Golden light on your skin
Where does the dream begin?
Breathy sighs in the haze
Lost in a nostalgic maze
[Hook]
Softly, slowly, we sway
Wishing you would stay
[Verse]
Distant horns from the square
Floating through the humid air
Your laugh was a melody
Crashing like the open sea
The horizon turns to wine
Wishing you were truly mine
[Chorus]
Oh, the samba of the unsaid
Spinning circles in my head
Golden light on your skin
Where does the dream begin?
Breathy sighs in the haze
Lost in a nostalgic maze
[Bridge]
Nylon strings hum a sigh
Underneath the purple sky
No touch, just the pull
Heart is heavy, heart is full
A summer caught in amber light
Before the coming of the night
[Post-Chorus]
Rio remembers us two
Drenched in a honey hue
Shadows dance on the floor
Always wanting something more
[Outro]
