Da Nang in My Head — Liva

Barefoot on a golden line
Salt on skin, the sun in my eyes
Scooter noise and neon signs
Every street was alive

Plastic chairs and late-night food
Sweet and spice and something new
Laughter spilling into heat
Every corner felt like me

Didn't think I'd miss the sound
Of a city breathing loud
Now the silence hits too hard
In the dark

Now my room is way too still
No waves crashing on my skin
No late nights, no open doors
No streetlights on the shore

I hear Da Nang in my head
Every word we never said
In the noise, I felt at home
Now I'm quiet and alone

Morning coffee, bitter-sweet
Tiny cups on crowded streets
Sunrise melting into day
Didn't want to drift away

Ocean wind through tangled hair
Music floating in the air
Everything was moving fast
But I just wanted it to last

Didn't know I'd miss the chaos
All the colors, all the rush
Now the calm is way too loud
Here and now

Now my room is way too still
No waves crashing on my skin
No late nights, no open doors
No streetlights on the shore

I hear Da Nang in my head
Every place we never left
In the noise, I felt at home
Now I'm quiet and alone

If I close my eyes, I'm there
Warm night, humid air
Engines humming, voices blend
Like a song that never ends

Now my room is way too still
No salt taste, no ocean thrill
No bright lights, no endless flow
Just a silence I don't know

I hear Da Nang in my head
Like a place I never left
In the noise, I felt alive
Now I'm missing all that life
