There's much room for passion, ooh-no-no
There's no room for fears

No @CoffeeBeansGalore, way off I'm afraid, though those 2 lines could definitely be Prince.

90s, indi-ish

Sitting in a dreamy daze by the water's edge
On a cool summer night
Fireflies and the stars in the sky
Gentle glowing light
From your cigarette

You've a knighthood in "I'm not listening"
