Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hot July night, concert lights still burning in my eyes,
And there she was across the room, laughing like she owned the sky.
Elegant in everything she wore, but it was her eyes that caught me first,
Something bold, something ageless, like she'd lived a thousand summers in one girl.
[Chorus]
Jeeva, Jeeva, dancing under borrowed light,
We were two kids playing dress up, stealing pieces of the night.
Jeeva, Jeeva, laughing like the world can't see,
For one hot summer moment, you were wild and free with me.
[Verse 2]
We ran through the dressing rooms, trying on some other life,
Zippers and mirrors and stolen looks, nobody watching, just us two tonight.
You said you wanted to march, you wanted to laugh out loud,
But your world had you folded up so quiet, so proud.
[Verse 3]
So I let you play, princess, just for me,
Threw off your crown for a week and let your spirit breathe.
We messed around till the morning came,
Easy, seductive, no names, no shame.
[Chorus]
Jeeva, Jeeva, dancing under borrowed light,
We were two kids playing dress up, stealing pieces of the night.
Jeeva, Jeeva, laughing like the world can't see,
For one hot summer moment, you were wild and free with me.
**Bridge**
But crowns don't leave the palace, and princesses go home,
And after seven sunsets, I was standing there alone.
No calls, no traces, just the echo of your laugh,
Gone like summer lightning, gone as fast as it happened.
**Verse 4**
So here's to Jeeva, wherever your world has taken you,
I hope somewhere in that gilded cage you still remember how to move.
**Outro**
Jeeva... Jeeva...
One hot night, and then you flew.
