Write chillwave/glo-fi English lyrics for a hazy reverb-drenched female vocal, BPM 85, D major with soft minor inflections. Core instrumentation: warped Wurlitzer electric piano, flipped 70s yacht-rock guitar samples, seagull + gentle tide field recordings, lo-fi 808 drum machine, warped sub-bass, tape-saturated vocal layers. The narrative follows a young woman sorting through a stack of sun-faded boardwalk arcade stubs from a 2018 coastal trip, reflecting on a fleeting summer fling she still thinks of on rainy afternoons. Tone is soft, pleasantly dazed, with warm quiet nostalgia tinged with gentle, unregretful melancholy, imagery evokes glowing neon arcade lights through salt spray, sticky cotton candy residue, and cold canned lemonade on sun-warmed wood. Reference the hazy, impressionistic lyricism of Washed Out, Toro y Moi, Neon Indian.
Lyrics
[Intro] [Hook] Fade into the blue Just like we used to Ticket stubs of neon hue All belong to you [Verse] Rain on the window pane Washes out the summer stain Two thousand eighteen Faded pink and green Lemonade on cedar wood Everything was good [Chorus] Salt spray in the air Sticky cotton candy hair Neon lights glow Watch the water flow Hazy summer days Lost inside the haze [Post-Chorus] Floating far away Back to yesterday Nothing more to say [Verse] Arcade tokens in my hand Footprints sinking in the sand Reverb on the shore I don't mind no more Sunlight on your face Frozen in that space [Chorus] Salt spray in the air Sticky cotton candy hair Neon lights glow Watch the water flow Hazy summer days Lost inside the haze [Bridge] Time moves slow Where did we go? Washed out in the tide Nowhere left to hide Warm Atlantic breeze Rustling through the trees [Chorus] Salt spray in the air Sticky cotton candy hair Neon lights glow Watch the water flow Hazy summer days Lost inside the haze [Outro]
