THAT TIME OF THE NIGHT [Intro – Male Spoken Rap, Dark Piano] Three seventeen. Another hotel room. Headlights crawling up the walls. The shadows come back sharper. I recognize every one of them. An empty glass. A piece of paper Covered in lies I almost believed. I'll be alright. It's only miles. But three in the morning Has a way Of making liars Out of all of us. [Verse 1 – Male Rap, Controlled and Rhythmic] Four thousand nine hundred and seven miles. Another city, another night, another thousand lies. I tell myself it's temporary, Tell myself I'm fine. But every time I close my eyes, You're standing on the other side. A golden necklace, Still inside its box. I bought it for the moment When the distance finally stops. But life keeps getting in the way, And time won't play along. How can something feel so right And still be so damn hard? [Pre-Chorus – Female, Soft and Haunting] It's that time of the night. When all the lies have been told. And only the truth remains. [Chorus 1 – Female Lead, Powerful Melodic Vocals] I can live with all this distance I can live with being gone I can tell myself it's nothing Just another night alone But there's something in the darkness That the daylight doesn't know And the miles that lie between us Are the miles that won't let go [Verse 2 – Male Rap, Faster and More Aggressive] A pale white line Where the ring once lived. The skin remembers The promises the heart couldn't keep. Now everything is different, Your voice inside my head. I'm reaching out to touch you Four thousand miles from my bed. And I know you're lying somewhere, Staring at the ceiling too. Different skies, different lives, But I'm still reaching out for you. Eight hours on the clock, An ocean in between. You're the closest thing I've ever had That I can never reach. [Pre-Chorus – Female, Emotional Build] It's that time of the night. When all the lies have been told. And only the truth remains. [Chorus 2 – Female Lead, Bigger and More Desperate] I can almost feel your fingers I can almost hear you breathe And I know you're lying somewhere Wishing you were here with me But there's something in the darkness That the daylight doesn't know And the miles that lie between us Are the miles that won't let go [Bridge – Male Rap, Rapid Escalation] Another night. Another city. Another empty bed. Another conversation Playing circles in my head. I know you love me. God, I know. But knowing doesn't hold me When the lights go low. What do I do? WHAT DO I DO? With all this love That only knows your name? Four thousand nine hundred And seven miles. And every single one Feels like a thousand more tonight. WHERE DOES IT GO? WHERE DOES IT ALL GO? [Breakdown – Female, Whispered] I'm here. I'm still here. And I feel it too. [Outro – Male Spoken Rap, Intimate Then Explosive] Three seventeen. And somewhere Across an ocean You're still awake. I know you're thinking of me. I know. Four thousand Nine hundred And seven miles. And somehow... You're still The closest thing to me. [Instrumental – Silence, Then Massive Drum Fill] [Final Chorus – Female Lead, Explosive] I can't live with all this distance I can't sleep when you're not here I keep searching for an answer Through another lonely year But there's something in the darkness That the daylight doesn't know And the miles that lie between us Are the miles that won't let go [Final Chorus – Female Lead, Full Power, Male Rap Ad-libs] I can't live with all this distance I can't sleep when you're not here I keep searching for an answer Through another lonely year But there's something in the darkness That the daylight doesn't know And the miles that lie between us Are the miles that won't let go [End – Sudden Stop, Single Piano Note]
