If you’re up… I’m up. Blue light on my pillowcase, two percent and a lonely screen I’m scrolling through the maybes, through the “what we could’ve been” I type “hey” then backspace twice, like courage is a fragile thing Tell me I’m not the only one who hears the night phone ring Say the word, I’ll meet you in the static Say the word, I’ll make it cinematic Text me after dark When the whole world’s asleep Text me after dark When you miss what we used to be No promises, no sparks Just you and me, heartbeat to heartbeat Text me after dark— After dark We’re daylight strangers, nighttime saints, trading secrets for relief We don’t need a headline love, we just need a little peace I’ll be your shadow in the hallway, your soft place to fall apart If you can’t say it out loud, say it with a little heart I don’t want the crowd, I want the quiet I don’t want the show, I want your private Text me after dark When the whole world’s asleep Text me after dark When you miss what we used to be No promises, no sparks Just you and me, heartbeat to heartbeat Text me after dark— After dark If you’re scared, I’ll be brave enough for both If you’re lost, I’ll draw you a road One message, one breath, one truth in the night Let me be the light you don’t have to hide Text me after dark When the city finally breathes Text me after dark When you want the real of me No cameras, no parts Just you and me, honest and sweet Text me after dark— After dark After dark… I’m here.
