Smoke After Midnight
[Verse 1] Neon dripping on the wet asphalt Radio sighs like it knows my past Hands on the wheel, eyes half closed Another night that nobody knows Pre-Chorus City lights blur into blue and gold Every promise already sold [Chorus] I drive slow through the after rain Saxophone crying out my name Smoke curls up in the midnight air I’m still here, yeah I’m still here Heartbeat low, engine hums Time moves strange when the night comes No destination, no alibi Just me and the road under violet skies [Verse 2] Street signs flicker like tired stars Memories ride in passing cars I light the fire, just one more breath Dancing close to regret and rest [Pre-Chorus] Every mile feels warm and cold Getting older, but not that old [Chorus] I drive slow through the after rain Saxophone crying out my name Smoke curls up in the midnight air I’m still here, yeah I’m still here [Bridge] If love was easy, I’d be home by now But the night keeps teaching me how To let it fade, to let it slide Let the rhythm be my guide [Final Chorus / Outro] Night drive jazz in my veins Soft funk ghosts, sweet and strange Till the morning breaks the spell I ride this chill, I ride it well
