[Intro] Two fifteen. City still awake. Your name lights up the screen. [Verse 1] Taxi reflections slide across the glass. Red light. Green light. Everybody moving fast. You said you'd call me when the night got quiet. Funny thing— this town never tries it. [Pre-Chorus] One ring. Two rings. Don't let it die. Your voice in the receiver— right on time. [Chorus] Afterglow hotline. Call me tonight. Neon on the dashboard, stars in the light. Afterglow hotline. Don't say goodbye. We can keep the city awake till sunrise. Oh— stay on the line. Stay on the line. Afterglow hotline— you're already mine. [Post-Chorus] Call me. Call me. Two fifteen. Call me. Call me. Through the city. [Verse 2] Rhodes in the lobby. Bass underneath. Your laugh cuts clean through the traffic beat. Every window throws another colour. Every block pulls us closer together. [Pre-Chorus] One step. Two steps. Cross on green. Meet me where the skyline touches the sea. [Chorus] Afterglow hotline. Call me tonight. Neon on the dashboard, stars in the light. Afterglow hotline. Don't say goodbye. We can keep the city awake till sunrise. Oh— stay on the line. Stay on the line. Afterglow hotline— you're already mine. [Bridge] Stay— stay— stay on the line. Stay— stay— all night. Maybe tomorrow we laugh about this. Maybe tomorrow we don't. But tonight your voice is warmer than every light on the coast. [Final Chorus] Afterglow hotline. Call me tonight. Neon on the dashboard, stars in the light. Afterglow hotline. No need to hide. We can make the morning wait outside. Oh— stay on the line. Stay on the line. Afterglow hotline— one more time. [Outro] Call me. Call me. Two fifteen. Call me. Call me. Through the city. Stay on the line. Stay on the line. Till the skyline turns gold. Three seventeen. Still awake. Still talking.
