[Verse 1] 2 AM, we’re running through the city, Laughing like tomorrow doesn’t exist. Windows down, your favorite song is playing, And I swear I could live inside this. All the boys are calling, “Where you at?” I’m the one who makes the whole night glow. We drink up every second that we have, But there’s something that you’ll never show. [Pre-Chorus] ’Cause when the sunrise starts to bleed, You disappear right in front of me. Last night I was everything you wanted, Now you act like you don’t know me. [Chorus] I’m your girl after midnight, Your favorite when the stars are bright. We’re dancing like we’re never gonna die, Then you leave me with the morning light. I’m the secret that you keep, The name you only call when you can’t sleep. You love me when the moon is high, But push me away when the sun hits the sky. I’m not your day girl, baby— I’m only yours at night. [Verse 2] We make memories nobody else knows, Your hand in mine underneath streetlights. You tell me I’m the best thing in your life, But somehow only when it’s nighttime. And I laugh when you pull me closer, Pretending I don’t know how this ends. ’Cause every sunrise feels like losing you, And every sunset brings you back again. [Pre-Chorus] So turn the music up louder, Let the bass drown out the truth. For a few more hours, I can pretend That you really choose me too. [Chorus] I’m your girl after midnight, Your favorite when the stars are bright. We’re dancing like we’re never gonna die, Then you leave me with the morning light. I’m the secret that you keep, The name you only call when you can’t sleep. You love me when the moon is high, But push me away when the sun hits the sky. I’m not your day girl, baby— I’m only yours at night. [Bridge — softer, emotional] Maybe I was never meant To be the girl you take home. Maybe I’m just someone you need When you don’t wanna feel alone. But I wish you’d look at me The way you do beneath the neon lights. I wish you’d still want me When the world turns on the lights. [Final Chorus — bigger] I’m your girl after midnight, Your favorite when the stars are bright. We’re dancing like we’re never gonna die, But morning always changes your mind. I’m the secret that you keep, The one you only need when you can’t sleep. You love me when the moon is high, Then leave me lonely with the sunrise. I’m not your day girl, baby— I was never your daylight. I’m the girl you come alive with… Only at night.
