Entropy's Heir - Glowing Concrete

A love story about our trip to Oslo, Norway.



Lyrics:

Cold breath painting pictures in the air
Harbor lights dancing in your hair
Oslo humming low like a vinyl groove
No plans, no map, just me and you
Stomachs talking, streets asleep
City secrets we’re about to keep
Then the sidewalk starts to shine below
Like it knows something we don’t know

You said, “Babe, is the ground… glowing?”
I said, “Only one way to go then.”

We followed a glowing path in the concrete, baby
Hungry hearts and empty hands
Neon veins in a midnight city
Leading us like it had a plan
Didn’t know where it was taking us
Didn’t care, we trusted the sign
Turned the corner and there it was, love
Warm light, food, and perfect timing

You kicked the snow like you meant some drama
Said, “Watch this,” with that little smirk I love
But it wasn’t snow, it was slick damn ice
And you almost met Norway twice
You windmilled hard, I lost control
Laughing so loud I forgot the cold
Tears in my eyes, you flipping me off
Both of us cracking up on the sidewalk

You said, “You’re the worst,” but you were smiling
Girl, your chaos is my favorite violence

Yeah, we followed a glowing path in the concrete, baby
Hungry hearts and empty hands
Neon veins in a midnight city
Leading us like it had a plan
Didn’t know where it was taking us
Didn’t care, we trusted the sign
Turned the corner and there it was, love
Warm light, food, and perfect timing

Late night sports pub, lights too bright
Locals yelling in Norwegian fight songs
Beers on the table, fog on the glass
You leaning in, time moving fast
Jerseys on walls, old game on the screen
But you were the only thing I seen
You stole my fries, I stole your grin
We were winning before the game even began

3AM and the streets went quiet
City breathing in between the sirens
Brick walls, shadows, yellow light
Then you started dancing like it was our night
Spinning slow in that empty alley
Boots on stone, little laugh so reckless
No music, but you found the beat
And I swear the whole damn world watched you with me

Yeah, we followed a glowing path in the concrete, baby
Even the dark was on our side
Neon veins in a midnight city
Lighting up your wild little smile
You twirling in an alley at 3AM
Like nobody else was alive
Oslo sleeping, but we were electric
Two fools, one love, one night

Snow or ice, pubs or streetlight glow
Everywhere you go feels like home
If I get lost, I hope it’s there
Hungry, laughing, without a care
On that glowing road, concrete and gold
With you, I don’t mind growing old
Oslo nights, stuck in my skin
3AM… I’d do it all again
