Write English male vocal synth-pop/retrowave lyrics, set at 128 BPM, bright A major, with warm detuned Moog Sub 37 pads, crisp TR-808 gated reverb beats, bubbly arpeggiated Roland Juno-60 leads, slapping fretless synth bass, chorus-drenched clean rhythm guitar, and soft muted flugelhorn accents. Nostalgic baritone male vocals carry soft plate reverb, delivering tender, bittersweet reflective yearning. Weave imagery of late-night coastal boardwalk neon glows half-faded in summer fog, crumpled vintage arcade ticket stubs pulled from an old jacket pocket, the quiet thrill of recognizing a long-lost favorite track blaring from a passing convertible, and soft "what if" longing for a fleeting summer connection that never got a proper goodbye. Keep tone buoyant, danceable, warm retro-futuristic, gently wistful rather than sad.

Lyrics

[Intro]
[Verse]
Boardwalk neon glows
Where the golden memory goes
Shadows dancing in the mist
Dreams that we never kissed
[Pre-Chorus]
Wait for the light
Hold on so very tight
Was it just a dream?
Faded at the seam
[Chorus]
Echoes in the night
Everything felt so right
Cruising in the dark
Waiting for a tiny spark
Now the radio plays
Songs of much better days
We never said a goodbye
Underneath the summer sky
[Post-Chorus]
Retro summer heat
Dancing on the street
Retro summer heat
Feel the velvet beat
[Verse]
Jacket pocket find
Leaving all the thoughts behind
Worn out arcade stubs
From the seaside clubs
[Pre-Chorus]
Wait for the light
Hold on so very tight
Was it just a dream?
Faded at the seam
[Chorus]
Echoes in the night
Everything felt so right
Cruising in the dark
Waiting for a tiny spark
Now the radio plays
Songs of much better days
We never said a goodbye
Underneath the summer sky
[Bridge]
What if we stayed?
Before the colors fade
The bass begins to slap
Closing every single gap
The horn starts to blow
Soft and very low
[Verse]
Convertible rolls past
Making memories really last
That familiar old song
Where we both belong
[Chorus]
Echoes in the night
Everything felt so right
Cruising in the dark
Waiting for a tiny spark
Now the radio plays
Songs of much better days
We never said a goodbye
Underneath the summer sky
[Outro]
