5. Midnight Eyes

Verse 1 Neon flickers in a corner bar, Lipstick stains on an old mason jar. You leaned in close with a whisper thin, I should’ve known where the night would begin. Chorus Caught up in your midnight eyes, Lost in a shadow I can’t disguise. Every secret’s dressed in lies, But I keep fallin’, fallin’, fallin’ for your midnight eyes. Verse 2 Silver charm with a crooked smile, Truth runs short while the stories run wild. You dealt the cards with a practiced hand, Leaving hearts broken just like the plan. Chorus Caught up in your midnight eyes, Lost in a shadow I can’t disguise. Every secret’s dressed in lies, But I keep fallin’, fallin’, fallin’ for your midnight eyes. Bridge (falsetto) Whispered promises, they fade with the dawn… (falsetto: “But I can’t stop holding on…”) Guitar Solo (moody, echoing the falsetto line) Chorus (repeat & expand) Caught up in your midnight eyes, Lost in a shadow I can’t disguise. Every secret’s dressed in lies, But I keep fallin’, fallin’, fallin’ for your midnight eyes. Outro (fade) Midnight eyes… (echoed falsetto) Midnight eyes…
