[Verse 1] You showed up late in August With coffee on your sleeve Laughing at my playlist Feet tucked on my seat We talked like we were racing But the train just crawled along You traced the fog on windows Turned small talk into a song [Chorus] Midnight takes its time with us Every minute stretching Spilling over the cup I don't need a perfect line Just your shoulder leaning into mine If the daylight asks what we were I'm gonna say we never learned the word "hurry" first Midnight takes its time Midnight takes its time [Verse 2] You told me all your failures Like secrets in a game The test you almost passed once The town you never claimed I watched you while you rambled Hands flying through the air You said you hated silence But you left it hanging there [Chorus] Midnight takes its time with us Every minute stretching Spilling over the cup I don't need a perfect line Just your shoulder leaning into mine If the daylight asks what we were I'm gonna say we never learned the word "hurry" first Midnight takes its time Midnight takes its time [Bridge] What if this car never reaches the station? (oh) What if this talk keeps beating my patience back? You drew a map of everywhere you’re going Then folded it Said "I kinda like getting off track" You laughed I memorized that sound Like names of the stops rolling out loud If this is just passing through Why do I feel rooted to this view? [Chorus] Midnight takes its time with us Every minute stretching Spilling over the cup I don't need a perfect line Just your shoulder leaning into mine If the daylight asks what we were I'm gonna say we never learned the word "hurry" first Midnight takes its time Midnight takes its time Midnight takes its time With you
