[Verse 1] Sand in my shoes Suit on the chair Your lipstick on my coffee cup Still hangin in the air
Late checkouts Half-truth goodbyes Said you’d call when you were ready You just watched my eyes
[Pre-Chorus] We were so high in that hotel room Talking like we had all this time Now it’s just me and this ceiling fan Spinning every line
[Chorus] Under Dubai skies Thought I saw our whole life in your eyes (oh) You were tracing every promise on my skin Then you let the moment slip You let it die Now I’m stuck replaying us at sunrise Under Dubai skies
[Verse 2] Room service tray Cold on the floor Two plates One untouched You don’t stay here anymore
Your scent on the pillow Phone face down Every little quiet in this place Feels like you crying out
[Pre-Chorus] You said “Love me But don’t lose yourself” Funny You’re the one who walked away I’m still driving past the places Where you learned my name
[Chorus] Under Dubai skies Thought I saw our whole life in your eyes (yeah) You were tracing every promise on my skin Then you let the moment slip You let it die Now I’m stuck replaying us at sunrise Under Dubai skies
[Bridge] Maybe you were scared of that kind of truth (oh) Maybe I was begging you to choose Now every night feels like that hotel view So close to heaven So far from you
[Chorus] Under Dubai skies I keep seeing your reflection in the high-rise lights You were tracing every promise on my skin Now I’m holding on to shadows you left behind If we only get remembered by our goodbyes Then I’ll remember you Under Dubai skies
