[Verse 1] City sleep, but the windows still glow One more night, one more place to go Everybody knows the face they see But nobody knows who we are when the cameras leave [Pre-Chorus] After midnight, we can finally breathe No more shadows, telling me who I should be When the city fades, and the noise gets low I can hear the truth that I already know [Chorus] After midnight, let the whole world wait We don't need permission, we don't need a name If tomorrow comes, we'll meet it when it does Tonight, it's just the two of us [Verse 2] Pulled up slow with the skyline shining Gold on the wrist, but the mind still climbing Phone keeps ringing, I left that one go Sometimes peace is worth more than the show Seen the bright lights turn friends to strangers Seen success come with a whole new language Everybody wants a piece of the moment Few stay around when the pressure gets heavy I learned that silence can say more than talking Late-night streets got my cops still walking No paparazzi tonight, no crowd at the door Just two different stories meeting on the fourth floor [Bridge] Maybe we don't have to explain Maybe we don't have to hide the pain Let the moonlight cover what we can't say We can leave the past until another day [Pre-Chorus] After midnight, we can finally breathe No more shadows, telling me who I should be When the city fades, and the noise gets low I can hear the truth that I already know [Chorus] After midnight, let the whole world wait We don't need permission, we don't need a name If tomorrow comes, we'll meet it when it does Tonight, it's just the two of us [Verse 3] She said, I've been everywhere, still searching for somewhere I can close my eyes without feeling the world there I said, I know that feeling, I've been chasing peace While everybody else was counting my achievements Funny how the spotlight never shows the whole picture Crowds get louder while the nights get quieter You can have everything they said would make you happy Still wake up wondering why the room feels empty So we took a ride with the windows halfway down No destination, just the sound of the town Neon on the glass, bass underneath Two complicated lives finding something underneath No promises tonight, no future to predict Just a little honesty in a moment that exists sometimes You don't need somebody to save you You just need somebody who understands what made you [Chorus] I don't want to be famous tonight I don't want to be perfect tonight Take away the lights, take away the noise Let me hear my own voice If the moon then changes everything Let it change what it wants to bring For this moment, I am free And that's enough for me [Verse 4] Now the rhythm got the whole boulevard moving Headlights dancing while the night keeps cruising I used to think the destination was the answer Now I know the journey made me who I am Every scar got a lesson underneath Every closed door gave me somewhere else to reach I don't need the whole world to understand the vision I just need a little piece and a clear definition So here's to the nights that nobody remembers The conversations that live long after December Here's to starting over without making an announcement And finding something real when the world gets crowded [Pre-Chorus] After midnight, we can finally breathe No more shadows, telling me who I should be When the city fades, and the noise gets low I can hear the truth that I already know [Chorus] After midnight, let the whole world wait We don't need permission, we don't need a name If tomorrow comes, we'll meet it when it does Tonight, it's just the two of us [Outro] No cameras, no disguise We finally see through the lights Maybe the world doesn't need to know everything Maybe some moments are better when they're ours alone [Pre-Chorus] After midnight, we can finally breathe No more shadows, telling me who I should be When the city fades, and the noise gets low I can hear the truth that I already know [Chorus] After midnight, let the whole world wait We don't need permission, we don't need a name If tomorrow comes, we'll meet it when it does Tonight, it's just the two of us [Outro] No cameras, no disguise Pulled up slow with the skyline shining Gold on the wrist, but the mind still climbing Phone keeps ringing, I left that one go Sometimes pieces worth more than the show Seen the bright lights turn friends to strangers Seen success come with a whole new language Everybody wants a piece of the moment Few stay around when the pressure gets heavy I learned that silence can say more than talking Late-night streets got my cops still walking No paparazzi tonight, no crowd at the door Just two different stories meeting on the fourth floor [Outro] No cameras, no disguise We finally see through the lights
