[INTRO] Mmm... I know I shouldn't call you... But it's after midnight... And somehow you're the only thing that's on my mind. Yeah... You know what happens when you call me this late... We both forget what we said in the daylight. Then don't answer... But you know I'm gonna... [HOOK] After midnight, when the lights get low, That's when you say the things you never show. Tell me you miss me, tell me you can't sleep, Tell me there's a part of you that still belongs to me. After midnight, when you're all alone, You pick up the phone like you're coming back home. We keep saying goodbye, but we never let go, Baby, why we gotta love each other like this? After midnight... After midnight... That's when we lose control. [VERSE 1] I remember every word that you said when you left, "Don't call me, don't chase me, I need time for myself." So I gave you your space, tried to bury your name, But your memory got a way of showing up in my place. Got your picture in my phone, Got your perfume in the sheets, Got a thousand little reasons why you're still haunting me. And I know you got somebody, I ain't asking who he is, But if you're happy where you are, why you calling me like this? You say you just wanna talk, but we both know where it goes. One "I miss you" turns into "Baby, come back home." [HOOK] After midnight, when the lights get low, That's when you say the things you never show. Tell me you miss me, tell me you can't sleep, Tell me there's a part of you that still belongs to me. After midnight, when you're all alone, You pick up the phone like you're coming back home. We keep saying goodbye, but we never let go, Baby, why we gotta love each other like this? After midnight... After midnight... That's when we lose control. [VERSE 2] I tried to move on, I swear I did, Tried to give another man what I gave you then. But he don't know my body, He don't know my scars, He don't know how to hold me when I'm falling apart. And I hate that I compare him to you, Hate that every little thing brings me back to the truth. I can lie to everybody, I can even lie to myself, But when the room gets quiet, I don't want nobody else. So if I say I don't need you, Baby, don't believe that line. 'Cause every time the clock hits twelve, I'm right back on your mind. Yeah... And every time you hear my voice, I know you feel it too... I do... That's the problem with me and you. [HOOK] After midnight, when the lights get low, That's when you say the things you never show. Tell me you miss me, tell me you can't sleep, Tell me there's a part of you that still belongs to me. After midnight, when you're all alone, You pick up the phone like you're coming back home. We keep saying goodbye, but we never let go... Baby, why we gotta love each other like this? After midnight... After midnight... That's when we lose control. [BRIDGE] If I came to your door... I'd let you in. If I said I still love you... I'd say it again. If I told you I'm scared... I'd hold you close. If I asked you to stay... I ain't letting you go. But tomorrow we're strangers... Like we don't know each other. Then why tonight... We can't leave each other? Maybe we're wrong... Maybe we're right... Maybe we're only honest... After midnight. [FINAL HOOK] After midnight, when the lights get low... That's when you say the things you never show. Tell me you miss me... Tell me you can't sleep... Tell me there's a part of you that still belongs to me. After midnight, when you're all alone... You pick up the phone like you're coming back home. We keep saying goodbye... But we never let go... Baby, why we gotta love each other like this? After midnight... After midnight... I know you feel it... I know you need it... After midnight... Don't say goodbye... Don't say goodbye... That's when we lose control. [OUTRO] After midnight... When nobody's watching... That's when you call me... That's when I need you... That's when I need you too... Mmm... Yeah... After midnight... Maybe tomorrow we'll let go... But tonight...
