[Intro – warm Rhodes, soft vinyl crackle]

[Intro – warm Rhodes, soft vinyl crackle] Streetlight tracing lines on your face Say it soft… nobody needs to know our place [Verse 1 – bass slides in, brushed snare] Back row seats where the shadows fall Talking low while the world stays loud You tap your foot to a rhythm slow Like we built this vibe and nobody knows Folded paper with a crooked heart Ink runs through but we don’t fall apart Hands don’t touch but they almost do That almost feels better than breaking rules [Pre-Chorus – harmonies rise gently] No spotlight glow, no flashing signs Just coded words between the lines If this is wrong, don’t fix it now It feels too good the way it sounds [Chorus – full groove, warm organ lift] You’re my secret valentine Low key love in overtime No parade, no grand design Just that quiet spark in your eyes and mine Secret valentine We don’t need to draw the line Let the whole world stay outside You’re my secret valentine [Verse 2 – muted trumpet accents] After school by the corner store Sharing jokes we’ve told before You lean close like you might confess But let the silence do the rest Fingertips trace the seam of my sleeve Like you’re testing what you believe Nothing loud, nothing declared Still feels like something rare [Pre-Chorus – slightly stronger build] No front row seats, no headlines Just soft confessions after nine If this is ours, let’s keep it tight Some things grow better out of sight [Chorus – richer layers, subtle guitar] You’re my secret valentine Low key love in overtime No parade, no grand design Just that quiet spark in your eyes and mine Secret valentine We don’t need to draw the line Let the whole world stay outside You’re my secret valentine [Bridge – stripped down, just piano & vocal] Maybe one day we’ll let it show Say it out where the bright lights glow But for now let the whispers climb Slow and sweet… secret valentine [Final Chorus – full band, layered harmonies] Secret valentine Hidden gold in plain sight No big words, no neon sign Just you and I… secret valentine
