Streetlights on my window Clock hits 12 again Lying here, wide awake Thinking of you, my friend Phone lights up, your message You up? I know this game I should leave it unopened But I tap your name We don’t talk ’bout morning Only things we never say In the dark you feel like home But the sun takes you away After midnight You and I come alive In the quiet You’re the truth that I hide Every whisper feels like love But you’re gone before the light I don’t need you to say forever Just stay after midnight Shoes left by the doorway You’re sitting on my floor Talking ’bout your worries Like you never have before You laugh but your eyes tremble I smile though my heart aches We’re a half-written story Only real when it’s late We don’t speak of forever Just the stars and the rain In the dark you let me see Every part you try to tame After midnight You and I come alive In the quiet You’re the truth that I hide Every whisper feels like love But you’re gone before the light I don’t need you to say forever Just stay after midnight Maybe love only breathes When the world is asleep And the night keeps our secrets In a place we can keep But I’m tired of being Just a shadow you find When the clock hits twelve And you’re lonely inside After midnight You and I come alive In the quiet You’re the wound and the light Every heartbeat says the words We’re too scared to write I don’t need you to promise forever Just stay Stay after midnight Streetlights slowly fade But I’m still wide awake Maybe one day, when you’re ready You’ll stay after midnight
