Verdict: Under the skin; I will not be done with it soon.
There is a particular hour after midnight when Runway feels less like a single and more like a confession written in wet ink on cool stone.
Metaphor fails politely here, so I will say only that the song feels like walking home along wet pavement with someone who might ruin you and might also be the only honest thing left.
In the chorus, desire and dread share a glass. The arrangement refuses to rush the ache; instead it lets the room grow colder by degrees until the hook feels less like a peak and more like an inevitability.
Only at the end do I reach for a number: 9.0/10. Under the skin; I will not be done with it soon.

this is exactly how it hit me on first listen. glad someone said it.
I get the critique but the hook has been stuck in my head for a week, so…
anyone else hearing early BANKS DNA in the pre-chorus?
