[Verse 1] You were laughing in my kitchen Bare feet on the cold tile floor You knew stories I’d forgotten Called me out like we’d met before Coffee cup in your wrong hand Sunlight on your crooked grin I could feel your heartbeat racing Like I’d let you all the way in [Chorus] But you’re made of midnight Paper people in the morning Fade with the curtains opening wide I reach out to hold you Grab a handful of nothing Still my chest swears you slept by my side It feels like love But you don’t survive the light [Verse 2] We were driving by the coastline Windows down Signing street signs wrong You said “Promise me you’ll call me” Funny joke in a borrowed tongue You were crying at the airport I could taste the salt The fear My name shaking on your shoulder Then the ceiling fan pulled you clear [Chorus] ‘Cause you’re made of midnight Paper people in the morning Fade with the curtains opening wide I reach out to hold you Grab a handful of nothing Still my chest swears you slept by my side It feels like love But you don’t survive the light [Bridge] How can I miss a ghost I never knew? How can my heart break over someone who Only ever lived between alarms? Still I wake up calling out your name (hey) Like you might just turn around Step through the crack in the day [Chorus] All my made-of-midnight Paper people in the morning Scattered on the pillow Then they fly I reach out to hold you Grab a handful of nothing But a part of me stays there every time It feels like love It feels like love That doesn’t survive the light
