Rain shines black across the highway 3 AM and this city won’t sleep Your name flickers on my phone screen Like a wound that still runs deep I thought maybe I was over you Lost myself in strangers for a while But every time my world gets quiet You come crashing back inside You say “I wasn’t gonna text tonight” But I hear it instantly Something broke again inside your life Your words taste like smoke and whiskey Cold black coffee, empty bars You never come when things are steady Only when your whole sky falls apart And I already know How this ends Still I let you in again Always nightpulling back to me When your world starts caving in When every lie cuts through your skin And silence swallows everything Always nightpulling back to me With tired eyes and shaking hands And I drown inside you once again Even knowing how this ends Nightpuller Back to me Nightpuller We sit silent in your car seat Red lights bleeding on your face You talk about your battles But never what we became Your eyes disappear through windows Like a train with nowhere left to go And between every word you’re saying There’s a goodbye hanging low Maybe You only love the rescue Never me Always nightpulling back to me When your nights run into walls When every promise breaks apart And everybody else is gone Always nightpulling back to me But never long enough to stay Just to leave your darkness here For one more temporary place Nightpuller You always find your way back Nightpuller Piece by piece by piece
