After midnight -ORCHID AFTERLIFE album intro
[Intro] [staccato synth pluck, side-chained synth bass] Don't ask where we're going Just come with me It'll feel better when you don't think too much [Verse 1] [kick drum enters, electronic claps] You got that look again like you're waiting for permission But I don't need another reason to make a bad decision Your hand brushes mine and suddenly I'm somewhere else You say you should probably leave, I laugh and say for yourself [Pre-Chorus] [white noise riser, synth pads swell] And there's nothing that makes me care I know exactly what you're doing and I still let you do it Come a little closer, don't make me say it You already know what I'm thinking [Chorus] [full synth arrangement, driving four-on-the-floor kick] No I won't stop you, if you don't stop me We can lose ourselves for a little while after midnight I don't want to be good After midnight, I won't say a word You look at me, I look away Then I come right back like I never changed After midnight, don't ask me what this means It's exactly what I need [Verse 2] [drums drop to kick and clap only] Your jacket's on my shoulder, your keys are in my hand We're laughing at a secret that nobody understands You say I'm unpredictable, I tell you that's the point I'd rather make a mess tonight than spend it overthinking [Pre-Chorus] [synth pluck intensifies] I don't need forever, I don't need your name I just want the kind of moment that stays inside your brain And when the morning finds us, maybe we'll pretend That we never crossed that line, then cross it all again [Chorus] [layered saw-wave synths] Come a little closer, don't make me say it You already know what I'm thinking No I won't stop you, if you don't stop me We can lose ourselves for a little while after midnight I don't want to be good After midnight, I won't say a word You look at me, I look away Then I come right back like I never changed After midnight, don't ask me what this means It's exactly what I need [Bridge] [low-pass filter on bass, drums filtered] Maybe it's stupid, maybe it's reckless Maybe tomorrow I'll call it a mistake But right now I don't want to know, I don't want to know I don't want to know if the morning judges me Let it say what it wants, right now you're beside me And that's more than enough [Outro] [synth pads fade, staccato pluck remains] After midnight I don't want to be good After midnight I won't say a word You look at me, I look away Then I come right back like I never changed After midnight, don't ask me what this means It's exactly what I need Don't ask where we're going Don't ask where we'll be Just stay right here until the end
